Equestrian Centers: Hold Your Horses

Some preppy sporting activities involve horses, and they also need venues to house and perform on these regal animals. That’s why we picked equestrian centers and stables for our ranking.

Indeed, much has happened -- and continues to happen -- at Sequoyah. The club features tennis courts and swimming pools. It's a great place for banquets and wedding receptions. But its biggest claim to fame remains its golf course.

"We've had PGA, USGA and Northern California Golf Association events here," said Sequoyah General Manager Tom Schunn. "We also have collegiate, high school and junior golf.
