Tight tree-lined fairways demanding precision from every tee
★★★★★"The course is in very good condition, I payed about $100 for a 9.30 tee time which I consider extremely reasonable for the condition and environment alike, range balls are included in the price and they come out of a machine in the mat so you could spend quite a bit of time there getting dialed in…. The course has lots of wild life and you really feel imbedded in the forest, we even saw wild turkeys roaming about…. I would recommend this course and even if you are in Reno it is a short drive and well worth it."

★★★★★"The course is so well maintained and in wonderful shape. The driving range was included and was exceptional as it has video analysis of each shot."

★★★★★"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."

★★★★★"The course is in great shape and lots of upgrades have been done. Cart paths, driving range bays, Longboards is open again and doing well. Brandon and staff are doing a great job. We have a house up there and visit every spring thru fall. Plumes pines is our go to spot for golf and lunch afterwards. Check it y'all, you won't be disappointed!"

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.
