I spent my childhood summer days out at the pool. I have been out here for celebration dinners, and celebrations of life ceremonies. And before I was born, my aunt had her wedding reception out here. You can see that the YFC holds a dear spot in my heart - my grandpa was even the president of the club at one point. The YFC is a great spot for any occasion - the clubhouse is a great spot for a casual lunch - the sandwiches are all solid options and the specials are always great. Enrique who runs the clubhouse is the most inviting gentleman. The course itself is still very solid. It's always busy out there but still well maintained. There is plenty of parking, and it's beautiful out on the country. Come in for a round of golf, or to enjoy a lovely lunch or a bowl of popcorn by the pool.

Not only is this place great for golf, it's great for weddings (and I assume other events) too!…read more My daughter and her husband were married at the Yolo Fliers Club this past September. The planning and wedding were perfect. No hyperbole. It was truly perfect! I've never been involved with a wedding that went like this one...and I've never been to a wedding (or any other banquet or big event) that had food as good as the food the club served at her wedding. It was like dining at a fine restaurant. Every guest with whom I talked mentioned how good the food was and how nice the facility was. The venue (outside for the ceremony and inside for the reception) was beautiful and the service was first rate. (Even the weather cooperated.) Weddings start with planning and this one was no exception. My daughter started in April for a September wedding - which is a very short time for weddings these days. From the first inquiry about the club to the wedding itself, the experience was really amazing! The club's events team, headed by Veronica Lopez, and the executive chef, Chris Headding, are the best! They did a fabulous job making this the perfect wedding. Veronica is special. I could see that from our first conversation. She knew how to handle my stressed daughter perfectly. It was obvious that she genuinely wanted my daughter to have exactly the wedding that she wanted and more. Veronica made great suggestions. She also gave my daughter a list of local people who provided some of the services that the Yolo Fliers Club doesn't provide such as the photographer, DJ, and florist. That proved to be very valuable and kept the costs down considerably. My daughter picked people on the list and we couldn't be happier. Their services were better and less expensive than those my daughter found on Google, Yelp, and wedding sites. The club was decorated beautifully and everything down to the smallest detail was planned and done exceptionally well. I can highly, highly recommend the Yolo Fliers Club for your wedding.

When you first walk in there's lots of local vendors in the Sacramento area promoting their goods and services. After that you walk through the corridor and see lots of local artist work and exhibits. There are days they're doing live demonstrations as well as live music and they had a cool raffle.There also was lots of food given away like a charcuterie cup, cheesecake and a lot of mixologist non-alcoholic of course. Overall it was a fun event and it's really cool to see what the inside looks like a great opportunity for our youth

We loved this venue because of the flexibility it offered to have the ceremony at the pond and the reception in the barn. Getting to bring in our own catering for food and bartender for drinks at no additional cost was a huge bonus! The views of the property and great price were what sold us on booking this venue and we could have been happier with our choice! Our wedding was honestly the happiest day of our lives and I would highly recommend this venue.

They were open to other ideas, and very flexible and accommodating. The venue is huge, so it can accommodate a large wedding if needed. Our wedding was about 150 people, and there was more than enough room. It's surrounded by beautiful walnut orchards and you can see the valley and mountains from different parts of the venue, which was totally our vibe; we loved it. The bridal suite and backyard where the men are designated to hang out are both very nice. The backyard is cool and shaded and chairs are provided, so all the guys needed was an ice chest for their beer. The bridal suite was great with it's historic charm, and beautiful farmhouse vibe. It was also handy that the small kitchen is available to all us girls since we were there all day. The price point for what you get with the venue is very fair in my opinion. I shopped around and checked other venues, most local in Yolo County, but a few others in Sacramento and surrounding areas. I absolutely loved that we get the ranch for 3 days, it took off so much pressure when you're planning and putting together your wedding yourself. We used a day of coordinator, but just family and friends helped to set up and breakdown everything, and it worked out great. Other venues didn't compare when I looked at what was included in their packages. As the bride, it was a great start to begin checking things off the list; it certainly made it a little easier that so much was included. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Brent and Chelsea. Although, the ranch is a fairly new venue, it's a great place for a wedding. They are constantly making improvements to make the Big Day easier or more beautiful. Even from when we first walked the venue in December 2017, to our wedding in September 2018, improvements were made and it made our day even easier and more special.

The BerryFest Strawberry Festival exceeded my expectations.

Parking is plentiful at $10 or you can park outside and walk in. There were SO many vendors selling all kinds of knick knacks, drinks, desserts, snacks, and strawberry themed stuff, and I was able to get craft unsweetened ice tea instead of sugary drinks. The vendors were outside and in two separate indoor warehouse areas. The best part was the Amazing Animal World showcasing their reptiles inside, for free!! We stood in line, which wrapped around their tables and we were able to hold slinks, snakes, scorpion, and bearded dragons. So cool! Thw toycar racing was also free inside and lots of tastings like the honey stalls. There was also an animal petting area and horserides for a cost, but I don't support those because those poor animals are so overstimulated. Although, the baby llamas were really cute. There were a good variety of food trucks and tents. On the lawn was a huge car show. Then there's the nook that takes you down various California farm's fruitstands, some from Santa Cruz. They had the sweetest strawberries and blackberries I've ever had, so of course we brought some baskets home. I wish there was more entertainment and more strawberry-infused unique foods. I was expecting strawberry ice cream at the least but didn't find any. Overall, the festival had something for everyone and it was great that they had the indoor areas to escape the heat. Great variety of food and fun.

We're always up to trying new things and free had our attention. With a predetermined temperature of 92 today we had to strategize. We couldn't arrive when it opened as we had a church BBQ to go to. We ended up arriving at 2pm, the peak of the day. We didn't realize the festivities wrapped up at 4pm. We parked our car in the JC Penny's parking g lot across from the entrance. So convenient. It was $10 cash. I'm glad I went to the website for the festival and knew to bring cash. The fair was a quick walk from our car. The entrance is on the street corner opposite the entrance to the parking lot. Soon as we arrived we ventured to the bathrooms. There wasn't a line and they were well kept and supplied and smelled fresh. Next we checked out the huge car show. So many beautiful cars from different eras. As we were passing the food venders I spotted a shaved ice stand with a line in front, but the line was in the shade do we hopped in line. It was a quick line and the lovely gal offered us a mini donut after I exclaimed that was our next stop. The donut was still hot, covered with cinnamon sugar and just melted in our mouths. As good as I remembered them. Back to the shaved ice. it was $10 plus tax. It was your typical fair shaved ice with many floors to choose from. It wasn't my first pick of a cold treat, but it worked. I was more in the mood for a fresh strawberry or berry smoothy, but we never did find that so I'm glad we grabbed the first cold treat that we saw. It was really refreshing and a fun sweet treat. We sat under the trees on a bench we shared with a gentleman who was also eating a snow cone. I wish it was the Japanese kind with the snow. If you haven't had it before you've got to try it. It's so finely shaved that it's literally like snow falling from the sky. It was warm out but not hot enough to melt our snow cone and make a sticky mess. Next we went to the indoor stage and watched a roping demo. That was a fun sight to see. After that we went on the hunt for the farmers market section. We found it all the way in the back, past all the craft and other vendors. All the vendors had samples and buy, were those strawberries sweet. Nothing like the ones at the store. There were so many to choose from. I don't know how people decide. We choose to buy them from the last vendor. It was $21 for 3 baskets or 6 baskets for $40. We chose the 6 baskets to share between 3 households. I think we ate a basket while resting in the shade before we made our trek back to our car. Overall it was a good experience. You can't blame them for the heat. You can thank them for all the shade trees and benches. Inside activities and stages. I highly recommend this festival.
