Haven't played Davis in a number of years, and was pleasantly surprised. The previous condition of the course was nothing to rave about, but it is obvious that things have changed. Although certainly not the country club quality, the fairways are delineated from the rough, and we found the greens in particular to be exceptional. The price is very reasonable, at $27 for seniors, cart included. They do not take tee times, so you just show up, but when we played early recently, this was not an issue. By later in the day, the course was getting a fair amount of play, and deservedly so. We did not eat at the restaurant on this occasion, and so cannot speak to that. However, having played in tournaments at Davis in previous years, we found the bar and restaurant to be more than adequate.
The only minor criticism that we had of the course is that it lacks yardage markers. There are no yardage stakes in the fairways, distances identified by markers in the fairways are lacking. Overall we had a good experience, and would definitely recommend it. It's off the beaten path, but obviously well-known to locals, who seem to be a patronizing it. The course itself is very open and most areas, and is located in a scenic area, with views of the valley to the west. For a change of pace, we will occasionally return to Davis. Again, our only recommendation would be to have yardage markers on the holes. It's a simple enough accommodation, and as not everyone has a personal rangefinder, it would be of help to the average golfer. read more
