About Saddle Creek
Designed by Carter Morrish and opened in 1996, the Saddle Creek Golf Club is framed by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and challenges players of all levels with five sets of tees, 100 crystal white sand bunkers and handful of shimmering lakes. To create an atmosphere of tranquility and isolation, Morrish devised a routing in which no two holes run parallel to each other. Saddle Creek’s thoughtful design and sublime conditioning have led to numerous national accolades, such as being rated one of the top residential golf courses in the U.S. by Golfweek and as one of the best golfing experiences in the Western U.S by Fairways and Greens magazine.

Saddle Creek Resort’s diverse and award-winning real estate blends resort and residential atmospheres. Custom homesites start just under $300,000 and residential opportunities range (home and lot) from the $600s to more than $1 million. Boasting views of small lakes and oak-covered hills, these picturesque homes serve as countryside retreats and make for the ideal escape for residents in the Bay Area, San Jose and Sacramento -- all between 1.5 and two hours away.

Each neighborhood at Saddle Creek is carefully planned to complement and augment the golf course. Architectural design guidelines ensure each home is unique and blends with the overall residential theme. New real estate releases for 2006 include: Quail Creek, estate and custom homesites with beautiful views of the nearby hillsides and valleys (from the low $300s); Luxury Custom Homes, offered by Castle & Cooke and Vista Homes with elevations available upon request (from the mid $1,000,000s); and Copper Glen - The Foothill Collection of Country Homes, featuring six plans and 19 elevations (from $675 to $790) with club membership incentives for this year’s buyers.
