Only two hours from the San Francisco Bay Area and five minutes from Konocti Harbor, Buckingham lies in the center of a recreational gold mine offering water sports, parks casino gaming and big name entertainment in addition to great golf.
The Course
Buckingham is rated among the top three 9 hole courses in California. Eighteen sets of tees for 18 distinctly different holes of golf. PGA professional Mark Wotherspoon has redesigned the course with new tees new hazards, new bunkers and a new island for the par 5 17th hole. Local golfers consider the par 5 17th hole at Buckingham, Lake County's most challenging golf hole. Followed by the par 4/ 464 yard hole 18th hole, Buckingham is a great test of golf for golfer of any ability level.
Take aim at the right side of the fairway with a long iron or fairway wood to hit the narrow fairway that is guarded by a long fairway bunker and water on the left and out of bounds to the right. A quick green that is guarded by three bunkers and an inlet of water lurking makes for a precisely demanding approach shot. Par is a great score on the #1 handicap first hole.
