 Buckingham Golf & Country Club Yes, it's unusual for a 9-hole course in a tiny faraway town to exert a continued hold on golfers ranging from Joe Six-Pack to Joe Montana. But then Buckingham Golf & Country Club is an unusual course. Tucked into Lake County's Buckingham Park area of "metropolitan" Kelseyville (population 3,000), this country-fresh course boasts nearly year-round blue skies, No. 3 ranking among Northern California's 9-hole courses by the publication On the Links, and universal acclaim for its tremendously true greens. Just a mile from Konocti Resort & Spa, Buckingham recently hosted its Sixth Annual "Celebrity Quarterback Shootout," which has seen nearly every notable living quarterback take a crack at the par-72, 6,300 yard layout over 18 holes. Montana, Plunkett, Stabler, Lamonica, Dawson, Theisman, Unitas, Starr, Tittle-they've all enjoyed Buckingham, as have non-QB guests Jerry Rice, John Riggins, Tony Dorsett, Paul Horning and many others. Also notable: the countywide Amateur Golf Circuit which stops off for seven of its eight events at this gorgeous course under the shadow of Mt. Konocti. www.buckinghamgolf.com 2855 Eastlake Dr., Kelseyville, CA. 95451 707-279-4863 Click here to see if discount passes are available for purchase for this course and other courses at the Golf Guide Store.
