Gator Creek Golf Course, previously named Raspberry Hill Golf Course is a Public 9 hole golf course located in Auburn, California.
Raspberry Hill Golf Course opened in 1980. The course was designed by Fred Strong.
Raspberry Hill is one of California's secret Nine-Hole golf courses that deserves to be told about. Only 3 minutes up the hill from Downtown Auburn, it seems far away from any bustle. The occassional Trans-Continnental Railroad train is a big attraction when putting.
Par for the course is 29. From the back tees the course plays to 1533 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 1533 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 1, a par-4 that plays to 279 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 6, a par-3 that plays to 83 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 8, a 269 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 9, a 83 yard par-3.
Gator Creek is a sad story. The owner / operator of 18 years was forced out in 2012 by the non-bank note holder. The course has now been leased and the on-site owner operated Raspberry Hill Golf Course has evolved into something deserving of the name Gator Creek.
