5 Golf Courses Within 25 Minutes of Our Graeagle Cabin

One of the best-kept secrets about the Graeagle area? It's home to some of the finest golf in California — six courses within 25 minutes of our cabin, each with its own character and stunning Sierra Nevada backdrop.

1. Graeagle Meadows Golf Course (5 min)

Right down the road and walkable from the cabin, Graeagle Meadows is a par 72, 6,725-yard course that Golf Digest named a "Best Place to Play." The mountain views from the elevated tees are spectacular, and the on-site restaurant makes it easy to extend the day.

2. Golf Club at Whitehawk Ranch (10 min)

Consistently ranked in the Top 10 public courses in California, Whitehawk Ranch is a Dick Bailey design that weaves through streams, waterfalls, and wildflower meadows. It's an absolute must-play.

3. Plumas Pines Golf Course (8 min)

A full-resort par 72 with Longboard's Restaurant on-site — perfect for groups who want great golf followed by a casual dinner with craft cocktails and a wall of TVs.

4. Grizzly Ranch Golf Club (20 min)

Rated #1 public course in the Sierra Nevada and #11 in California by Golf Digest. Bob Cupp designed this masterpiece, and every hole delivers. Worth the short drive to Portola.

5. Dragon at Nakoma (25 min)

The showstopper. The Dragon course is home to the only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed golf clubhouse in the world. Golf World Top 75. The architecture alone is worth the visit — the golf is just a bonus.

Bonus: Feather River Park Resort

Just 5 minutes away, this casual 9-hole, par-35 course on the Middle Fork of the Feather River is perfect for beginners, kids, or anyone who wants a relaxed round without the pressure of a championship course.

All six courses are open to the public, and green fees range from $25 (Feather River) to $150+ (Grizzly Ranch). We're happy to help with tee time recommendations — just ask in your booking inquiry.
