A Two-Round Graeagle Golf Weekend With Time to Relax
Plan a two-round Graeagle golf weekend: compare four local courses, choose tee times, and stay together at the Graeagle cabin.
Two rounds are enough for a Graeagle weekend with time for dinner, a walk, and an afternoon at the cabin. Choose two 18-hole courses, or pair one full round with nine holes at Feather River Park. Book tee times first, then plan the rest of the weekend around them.

Choose your two courses
The local courses range from meadow fairways to mountain terrain. Here are the main differences.
Graeagle Meadows
- Holes / par
- 18 / Par 72
- Yardage
- 6,725 yards
Flatter meadow layout with water and elevated tees.
Whitehawk Ranch
- Holes / par
- 18 / Par 71
- Yardage
- 6,983 yards from the tips
Mohawk Valley terrain with four tee sets per hole.
The Dragon at Nakoma
- Holes
- 18 holes
Mountain course above the Feather River with views from every tee.
Feather River Park
- Holes / par
- 9 / Par 35
Short, wooded meadow course on the Middle Fork Feather River.
For a group with different experience levels, compare tee choices and round length before booking. An 18-hole round followed by nine holes leaves more of Sunday free. For more options, see our guide to golf courses near Graeagle.
A two-night weekend plan
- Friday: Arrive, buy groceries, and have dinner at the cabin. Set out clubs and confirm the next morning's tee time.
- Saturday: Play your first round, have lunch, then leave the afternoon open. Non-golfers could take the short walk to the Frazier Falls overlook.
- Sunday: Play the second course before heading home. Choose nine holes if the group wants a shorter day.
Stay in Graeagle
The Graeagle cabin sleeps up to 12 guests across three bedrooms and has 2.5 bathrooms. Its full kitchen and dishwasher make breakfast and packed lunches straightforward. For dinner, there is a Weber charcoal grill and a Traeger electric smoker.
Between rounds, the wraparound deck, stone fireplace, pool table, and 86-inch 4K TV give the group room to spend time together. The property also has Wi-Fi, a Level 2 EV charger, and parking for three cars.
When to go and when to book
Area courses usually open in mid-April and close toward the end of October or mid-November, depending on weather. Call the course to confirm opening dates and tee-time availability, especially at either end of the season.
The Graeagle course directory lists Graeagle Meadows at 530-836-2323, Whitehawk Ranch at 530-836-0394, and Feather River Park at 530-836-2328. Check your current driving route before booking a round on arrival day.
Quick answers
Can we fit two rounds into a two-night stay?
Yes. Arrive Friday, play Saturday and Sunday, and choose a nine-hole second round if you want more time before the drive home.
Which pairing suits a mixed-ability group?
One 18-hole course plus Feather River Park's nine holes keeps the second day shorter. Compare the available tees with everyone's experience before reserving.
Should we reserve tee times before arriving?
Yes. Confirm both rounds with the courses before building the rest of your weekend around them.
Where can the group stay together?
The Graeagle cabin sleeps up to 12 and has a full kitchen, deck, and pool table for time between rounds.
