About Cherry Island Golf Course

Cherry Island Golf Course sits along the American River Parkway corridor near Sacramento, offering a flat, tree-lined layout that local golfers have played for generations. The course winds through mature stands of valley oak and cottonwood that line the fairways, creating a park-like atmosphere and natural framing that make the course feel longer than its yardage suggests. Located in Elverta just north of Sacramento, Cherry Island is a Sacramento County-operated facility that emphasizes accessibility and value, drawing a loyal community following of working golfers who play multiple times per week. The flat terrain makes it highly walkable, and the shaded fairways offer welcome relief on hot Central Valley summer days. While it lacks the drama of foothill courses, Cherry Island delivers solid conditions and a genuine neighborhood golf experience at prices that keep the game accessible.

History

Cherry Island Golf Course has served the north Sacramento community as a county-operated public facility for decades, providing affordable golf access along the American River Parkway. The course has been a fixture for working-class Sacramento golfers and families seeking an accessible, reasonably priced round close to home. Its flat, pastoral setting reflects the agricultural character of the area before suburban development reached Elverta.

Budget-conscious Sacramento-area golfers who want an affordable, walkable round in a shaded park-like setting without driving far from the city.
