El
Macero, CA – August 2025 / NewsmakerAlert:
El
Macero Country Club in El Macero, Calif. will unveil its newly renovated
golf course to members on Monday, September 1st following a four-month,
multi-million-dollar renovation project. The renovation work around the
greens will provide members with multiple shot options with enhanced turf
conditions, newly designed collection areas and reduced bunker footprints.
Key
highlights of the renovation include:
-
The areas
around greens complexes were stripped and reshaped to help reveal bunkers
from fairways better, then softened and shaped to allow water to flow away
from greens. These areas were then resodded with a Tiftuf hybrid bermudagrass
and collars around green edges were sodded with bentgrass.
-
Crews
reduced the square footage of bunkers across the golf course by 60 percent,
with the renovated bunkers receiving new drainage, liners and pure white
sand.
-
The updated
bunkers also have more points of entry, easing access and enhancing course
conditions.
“We’re
thrilled with how the renovation turned out,” said El Macero Country Club
General Manager Chris
Johnson. “With the newly refreshed bunkers and more shot options around
greens, golfers will discover new ways to play the course.”

“The
contours and enhancements to the new bunkers topped with the eye-catching
white sand are not only visually stunning but they create new sight lines
for players contemplating their approach shots,” said El Macero Country
Club member and Northern California golf journalist Frank LaRosa.
Santa
Rosa, California-based Golf Plan – Dale & Ramsey Golf Course Architecture
oversaw the course renovation, while DHR Golf Construction was the contractor.
El
Macero Country Club was founded in 1961 by C. Bruce Mace as part of
the El Macero property development. In 1966, the members purchased the
club from the Mace family. Located about 10 miles west of Sacramento, El
Macero Country Club meanders through the El Macero development and encompasses
about 168 acres within beautiful residential surroundings. The Club’s 18-hole
parkland-style championship course was designed by course architect Bob
Baldock in 1961 and stretches to more than 6,860 yards. Notable golfers
to play El Macero include Byron Nelson, Joe DiMaggio, Ronald Reagan and
Tiger Woods. The Club has been managed by Troon
Privé since 2007.
