I’ve played Lahontan, Martis Camp and Schaffer’s Mill all in the last year. Schaffer’s Mill edges the other two slightly as far as the golf course goes. Where it pulls away is the awesome staff. They are super friendly and accommodating. Great play and a great time.

Reviewed By steverR2157ZV - Roseville, United States
This is a really great course with one of my top 3 favorite holes I play. It's a par 3 that follows a really amazing par 5. when you get up to the tee box, the green is some 500-600 yards away. What? Yup, and it's over trees and a stream, whaaaaat? Straight downhill. There's a sign in the tee box and sometimes a marshal that says something like, use your 140-yard club. So with a nine in hand, I hit it straight out and drops like a dart onto the green. If you're not straight, you're dead and there's a drop zone down the hill, but it is so incredibly fun. PS: There's no driving range at the course, but there is one right down the road about a mile away.
