If golfing is your sport, Oroville offers three courses with widely differing terrains. The Lake Oroville Golf and Country Club course near Lake Oroville is tight, challenging, and offers a rolling, parklike setting with lovely foothill views. It also features a netted driving range, a pro shop and practice putting greens.
The Table Mountain course has hosted the Women's Pro Am Tour, but don't let that scare you away-amateurs play there year round. It features water hazards, sand traps, and a driving range and putting green.
South of Oroville, off Hwy. 70, is Oroville's newest course, Dingerville USA, an Executive golf course. Their shortest hole is 90 yards, their longest 192. Pull-cart and club rentals are available. This course opened in 1993.
A great family pastime, because it's free and all ages can play, is a round of disc golf at the Riverbend Disc Golf Course. The course was designed by Ed Hedrick, the father of disc golf, and was a project of Sunrise Rotary Club. Discs can be purchased at the downtown Municipal Auditorium.
