Bartley Cavanaugh is the newest addition to the City of Sacramento's municipal golf courses, located near the banks of the Sacramento River. The layout was designed by Perry Dye, part of the well-known Dye family of golf course architects.
The design applies Dye's principles to create a course that challenges accomplished golfers while remaining playable for those newer to the game, with a varied mix of shots over 18 holes. The fairly straightforward routing rewards players who keep the ball in the fairway.
On site, the clubhouse includes a bar and cafe.
