Golf in Sacramento

Sacramento is the capital of California, a city at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers at the northern end of the Central Valley. The city serves as the state's political and administrative hub, with the State Capitol and numerous state agencies providing a major employment base. The Sacramento region has grown substantially in recent decades as Bay Area residents have relocated for lower housing values, with commuters and remote workers drawn to the area. The Central Valley setting gives Sacramento a hot, dry summer climate and mild, occasionally foggy winters. Rail connections via the Capitol Corridor train serve the Bay Area, and Sacramento International Airport handles significant passenger traffic. The American River Parkway provides an extensive greenway corridor through the city. Sacramento County's urban core includes the city proper and numerous surrounding incorporated communities spread across the broad Central Valley floor.
