Ancil Hoffman Golf Course is a municipal course located in Carmichael, California, designed by legendary architect William Francis Bell in 1965. Bell, a prolific designer credited with building nearly 200 courses throughout the western United States and Pacific islands, created this serene yet challenging layout for Sacramento County. As part of the renowned Bell family legacy—considered California's First Family of Golf Course Design—the course reflects the architectural expertise that also produced the acclaimed Torrey Pines Golf Course.
The course features both a men's and women's layout, accommodating golfers of varying abilities. Bell's design philosophy emphasizes strategic challenge balanced with playability, characteristics evident throughout his portfolio. The facility includes range and practice areas, supporting both recreational and tournament play. Ancil Hoffman continues to serve the Sacramento region as a quality municipal golf destination, maintaining Bell's tradition of inspiring golfers through thoughtful course design that has endured for decades.
