Gold Hills Golf Club is the only 18 hole public facility in the Redding area. The club opened in 1980 and has had multiple changes since. In it's current state it is enjoyable to play. In the last few years they have improved the playing conditions to a very nice level, at different times of the year it is equal to or better than some of the private courses in town.

Gold Hills golf course is surrounded by a great neighborhood of custom homes (more Gold Hills subdivision information). Lots are still being added and homes being built at a slow pace. Golf shots are not generally affected by the homes. With the nearby proximity, some of the homes are hit by some wayward shots.

The fairways are Bermuda, the greens are Bent. Occasional bunkers and ponds both fairway and greenside are in play on this course. The course is surrounded by homes with more being built. The course wonders through some small valley's with the homes over looking the course, while other holes are more level. It has the word Hills in the name for a reason and for most players is best ridden in a cart the first time you play it. The finishing holes are a bit quirky and difficult with #16
(current 7th) a uphill par 4 that is an extra 2 clubs on the second shot. The 17th goes back down the hill all at once with its short par 3 distance. The shot usually is affected by a breeze and always the elevation change. A steeply sloped green from back to front awaits sitting well above the surrounding terrain which makes for a difficult up and down. The 18th is a par 5 with OB on both sides of the tee shot, hit a good one and is not to tough, a missed shot will cost you two.

Redding City Championship Results - 2007

Sam Baskins Memorial Junior Golf Tournament Results - 2007

The beginning of the major remodel work has begun at Gold Hills and they are in a temporary building on the other side of the street. The plans for the building include moving to Pro Shop to the front of the building and using the old shop area for a Restaurant and Bar. The Banquet Faculties will still be across the street where they are located now just beyond the temporary building.

12/07 update: The course is updating and altering the Sand Bunkers throughout the course. Many of the lips of the bunkers were very severe, they are now being softened. Hole #18 (current #9) bunker at the green has been removed, the grass bunker at the green on #2 (current #11) has been removed and surrounding area smoothed. More is being done and we will update this site as more is known. This work should lead to a more playable and enjoyable round of golf for us all.

Gold Hills Golf #1 Tee, Redding California

#1 Tee (current #10). A very nice start to the round.

#1 Fairway (#10 current). The approach shot needs to carry the creek that is in front of the green.

Gold Hills Golf Club #1 Green, Redding California

Gold Hills Golf Club #2, Redding California

#1. After crossing the bridge over the creek the bunkers are more in view, if you can't make it to the green there is room short to land safely.

#2 Tee shot must carry this creek which depending on the tees used, wind, and line the ball is hit on you can cut off a big chunk of this dogleg par 5.

Gold Hills Golf Club #3 green, Redding California

Gold Hills Golf Club #4 fairway, Redding California

#3. This short uphill par 3 has a shallow firm green, one of the newer holes at Gold Hills golf course.

#4. A well played tee shot to the bottom of the hill will leave a short second.

Return to top

Gold Hills Golf Club #5 Green, Redding California

The fifth hole was moved to the south a couple years ago to its current spot. An uphill tee shot to a flat landing area leads you to the second shot to a firm and crowned green. The approach shot should take into account the false front on this firm green.

Gold Hills Golf Club #11 Tee, Redding California

#9. This large green has some flat areas, while other spots require playing a large amount of break in the putts.

Gold Hills Golf Course #15 fairway, Redding California

Gold Hills Golf Course #15 Green, Redding California

#15. This par 5 plays downhill with a newly expanded pond protecting the green. A well played tee shot down the left side of the fairway will give the long hitters a chance to get home in two,
for the rest of us, we'll just try to keep our ball dry..

Gold Hills Golf Coures, #16 Tee, Redding California

Gold Hills Golf Course, #16 green, Redding California

#16 is one of the most difficult holes in the area. This par 4 has plenty of trouble all around. A couple well placed shots are at a premium.

#16 green is two tiered and oval is shape. Nearly two extra clubs are needed to get here due to the severe uphill. You will be very happy with with a net par.

Gold Hills Golf Club #17 Tee, Redding California

Gold Hills Golf Course #17 Green, Redding California

#17. This short par 3 plays severely down hill. Distance control is at a premium.

Gold Hills Golf Course #18 Tee, Redding California

Gold Hills Golf Course #18 Green, Redding California

#18. This closing par 5 at Gold Hills Golf course is a tough hole with out of bounds right. A recent change in the marking of the hole on the left side allows a drop should you miss, rather than out of bounds.

#18 Green sits in a bowl shaped area that can help a wayward approach. A nice finish to an enjoyable round of golf..
