Sacramento River Country

The place

Cherry Island sits in that Sacramento fringe where the city thins into river country. Elverta does not have a skyline. It has a golf course, some water, and enough trees to make you think. County golf at its most useful: maintained, local, and unimpressed by your itinerary.

JW’s personal notes from the round will live here — the funny moment, the people, the 19th hole — without inventing what hasn’t been written yet.
