 Plumas
County's golf courses are renowned for their
lush, wooded settings and spectacular
mountain backdrops.
Three are located on the pristine shores of Lake
Almanor, while the others lie in the
tranquil high mountain valleys of Graeagle
and Crescent Mills.
Golfers can usually get on the course of their
choosing without much difficulty, but it's
best to make tee times in advance during the
peak summer months.
Some of the golf courses offer packages, and most have condos, vacation
homes, motels or resorts nearby. Golfers can
also choose from a variety of fine dining
establishments, some of which are located
right at the golf course.
What makes Plumas County such a rare golf destination is the plethora of
other recreation activities nearby. Fishing,
boating, hiking, history, events and
festivals abound. This combination of
natural beauty, first-rate golf,
reasonable rates and friendly communities
makes Plumas County a must for any golfer.
