You will pay your golf fees at Haggin Oaks golf shop. The walking fees are $40 at Arcade and $49 at the Mackenzie. For those who prefer to ride in an electric cart, those fees are $18 on Saturday and $19 on Sunday.
There will be four divisions: Open, Senior, Statesmen, and Ladies.
Alister MacKenzie designed the ‘MacKenzie’ course (also Augusta National, Cypress Point, and Pasatiempo, among others). It was opened for play in 1932, and has hosted many professional and amateur golf tournaments. Professionals Sam Snead, Jimmy Demaret, Toney Penna, Walter Hagen, Al Geiberger, George Archer, and Gene Sarazen competed here. Ben Hogan won his first professional check here in 1938 at the Sacramento Open (3rd place for $350).
The Arcade Creek course was opened for play in 1957 and, like the MacKenzie course, is framed by 100+ year-old oak trees throughout. There are no encroaching houses nor buildings except the facility buildings located in the center between the two courses. Also, on each course there are no out-of-bounds that come into play.
Several convenient hotels can be found within a few miles of the golf courses:
Hampton Inn and Suites (0.7 miles), Holiday Inn Express (0.8 miles), Ramada Inn (0.3 miles), Hilton Hotel (2.4 miles), Courtyard by Marriot (3.4 miles), and Hilton Garden Inn (6.1 miles). Also, in downtown Sacramento, about 7 miles away, are many hotels including: Holiday Inn, Sheraton Grand, and Hyatt Regency.
