Tight tree-lined fairways demanding precision from every tee
★★★★★"We got married at Plumas Pines this year and it was absolutely stunning! Instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner we had a welcoming party at hot shots and it was such a blast. It was a great way to get people together without the stress. Our wedding day was truly an amazing day and the staff were wonderful. The views at the ceremony site are stunning. All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was. The bartenders were also amazing and took great care of us and all of our guests. I would highly recommend Plumas Pines for a wedding."

★★★★☆"Great well maintained course. Beautiful views. The trees keep it at the perfect temps. Staff was great. Only issue was pace of play. Too many crappy players playing off blue tees. Come on people. Just play to your handicap and everyone will have a better experience. A course Marshall could have helped with this."

★★★★★"Awesome. Longboards (the restaurant at the golf course) has a bunch of TVs so you can watch all the games at once. They even had pre-season hockey on! The staff at the course and the restaurant were all excellent and very friendly. Food and drinks are great for lunch and dinner. Golf course is very well maintained. The course is not long, but it is a tight course! We played two times and the second time we both used our 3 woods from the tee box with better results. We used a cart, but it could be walkable, especially with a push cart. You can park a RV here overnight if you are a member of Harvest Hosts and call ahead to be approved. The lot where you park is huge and it is easy to fine a level spot. You are far enough away from other cars and neighbors that you can run your generator as much as you like. Excellent experience."

★★★★★"Beautiful mountain course. Pine trees, sunshine and golf. It was a great day. The staff was fantastic and Jayden was especially helpful and accommodating. Lunch at Longboards was a treat. Nice views and good food."

★★★★★"An absolutely beautiful course. Loved that challenge from the back tees. Super tight initial tee shots and the course makes you think about your shot placements on almost every shot. Highly would recommend"

Plumas Pines Golf Resort, designed by Homer Flint and opened in 1980, sits deep in the pines with tighter fairways than its Graeagle neighbors. Despite playing just 6,504 yards, a slope of 132 means every shot demands precision. The signature second hole features a dramatic green complex looking west over the valley. Outstanding value among the five Graeagle courses.
Dense ponderosa pines demand shot shaping
Slope of 132
deceptively challenging
Signature 2nd hole with green complex
A demanding par-3 with a multi-tiered green complex perched above the valley floor. The westward vista from the tee box is one of the most dramatic views in Graeagle golf — and the wind off the ridge makes club selection a genuine puzzle.
Players who put a premium on shot-making over length. At slope 132 on just 6,504 yards, the pines punish crooked drives more than any other course in the valley. Best value round in Graeagle.
Power hitters who rely on length — the tight pines neutralize distance and reward precision. Groups with very high handicaps may find the tree-lined corridors frustrating.
The wildcard round. Pair it with Whitehawk Ranch on the same day — both are in Clio, 5 minutes apart — for a full day of contrasting styles. Or use it as a value afternoon round on a 3-course trip.
