Since its inception in 1932, Haggin Oaks
has played host to dozens of PGA
professionals. Players like Bill Glasson,
Johnny Miller and Bob Murphy have
contributed to the storied history here.
Ken Venturi won the 1950 California State
Fair Championship here before going on to
win 14 times on the PGA tour and moving
on to the broadcast booth. Even the
great Byron Nelson participated in the
Sacramento Open at Haggin Oaks.
But the fantastic history of Haggin
Oaks is made even better by the non-
professional celebrities who have taken
part in one or more of the myriad charity
events and clinics hosted at the Haggin
Oaks complex where the focus is as much
on community and player development as
it is on championship golf. Over the
years, stars like Babe Ruth and Bob Hope
have contributed to the celebrity while
teachers like Hank Haney and Ken Morton
Senior have helped thousands of students
learn the game of golf.
Today,
the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex boasts two
championship golf courses, a world-class
teaching facility with over 15 PGA
professionals, more than 10 different
junior, senior, group and private programs
and a 100 stall, lighted driving range that
includes over 100 stalls five practice
greens and two bunkers. The driving
range at Haggin Oaks is so popular that it
stays open 24-hours-a-day during
summer hours.
