Darkhorse Golf Course and Community

Nicole Spencer • March 3, 2022

The par 72 Darkhorse Golf course features magnificent elevation changes and was sculptured to fit the natural landscape of the area. Riding on the cart path is like riding through a nature preserve with the abundance of wildlife. It is rated in California’s top 10 by GolfWeek Magazine and recognized as an outstanding affordable golf experience.

The community of Darkhorse is located 15 miles from I80, midway between the historic towns of Auburn and Grass Valley. Residents enjoy lots of great local shopping and dining or the Galleria mall for shopping, within 45 minutes. San Francisco in less than 2 ½ hours and Lake Tahoe is about 1 hour. If you like to golf, you will love living in Darkhorse. 

Here is a fantastic home that is for sale in the upscale Darkhorse community. 

See AustinForest.com for all the details, pictures and a cinematic video and contact me for more information about this community.
