Open meadows, towering pines, the original Graeagle experience
Opened in 1968, Graeagle Meadows is where Graeagle golf began. Ellis Van Gorder routed the course through open meadows and ponderosa pines alongside the Feather River — a layout that rewards placement over power. Par 72, 6,759 yards, slope 120, rating 71.4. The most forgiving of the five Graeagle courses, and consistently the best value green fee in the valley. Graeagle Meadows tee times are the most accessible of any course here. The course is publicly owned and managed — walk-on availability exists most mornings, and group tee times can be reserved weeks in advance. For groups looking to mix a challenging course one day with a friendlier layout the next, Graeagle Meadows is the obvious anchor of a multi-course itinerary. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and lunch daily in season. Carts are available and the pace of play is relaxed by Graeagle standards. If your group includes mixed handicaps, this is the course that keeps everyone in a good mood. Graeagle Meadows golf packages through GolfGraeagle include cart, tee time, and optional lodging at properties within five minutes of the first tee.

Open meadow holes with Sierra views
Elevated tees drop to a tree-lined fairway with sweeping views of Mohawk Valley, the Feather River, and the Sierra Nevada beyond. One of the most photographed holes in the valley.
First-time Graeagle visitors, mixed-handicap groups, and anyone who wants a classic mountain round without the penalty-heavy terrain of the higher-slope courses.
Single-digit handicappers looking for a serious test — slope 120 plays comfortably and won't challenge low-handicap golfers the way Whitehawk, Grizzly, or Nakoma will.
The ideal arrival-day round. Easy enough to shake off travel, close to the village, and sets the tone for the valley. Most 3-day packages start here on day one.
