Plumas Pines Golf… Now that’s a great day!
Whether you are a recreational golfer looking for relaxation on a golf course or a player looking to improve your game, Plumas Pines has what you are looking for!
I recently had the pleasure of playing this track and I must say that I was truly impressed. Being the “recreational” type golfer, I wasn’t on a mission to do anything other than enjoy my day. Plumas Pines lies in beautiful Graeagle, California. That being the case, just about every hole provides gorgeous scenery, which I soon found out didn’t do my score any favors. However, that was okay. It was well worth it.
Plumas Pines incorporates its beautiful surroundings into the course so watch out! Hole #1, a medium par five, begins the day innocently enough. However, Hole #2, narrow already, offers a spectacular stream along the left hand side of the fairway. Before teeing off, I was already thinking I would be just as happy fishing as playing golf. That, as most golfers know, is not the best pre-shot thought! That’s pretty much what Plumas Pines golf offers for 4 hours of recreation.
Some advice for those who make the trip… keep your confidence in check. The course plays to a deceiving 6421 yards from the longest tees (tips). This may have you thinking that you will have your way with it. Many fairways are, while very fair, quite narrow. Contributing to the narrow feel of the course is that it winds itself through a quaint housing community. This, however, in no way detracts from the beauty of the course. Because the course resides at 4,550 feet of elevation, you can get plenty of carry from your traditionally shorter clubs. Keeping the big clubs in the bag will do you right at the end of the day.
For the golf enthusiast looking to improve his or her game, Plumas Pines has just the program for you. How great would it be to know all you have to worry about is packing the clubs and getting to the course. The staff at Plumas Pines has put together an all inclusive five day golf instruction package which provides accommodations, a 4 to 1 student to teacher ratio, meals, and more. For more information about their program, check out their website at HYPERLINK “http://www.plumaspines” www.plumaspines golf.com. You may also call the Head Professional Brandon Bowling at (530) 836-1420.
And lest I forget, who doesn’t enjoy relaxing with a good meal after 18 holes of golf. Plumas Pines offers an outstanding dining experience at Longboards Bar & Grill. Here you will find fresh food with an Italian flair. When the place comes highly recommended by both golfers and locals it has got to be great!
