Plumas Pines

Absolutely beautiful course! It's a difficult course so don't expect to shoot much below your handicap, if at all. I would play it again in a heart beat.

On the down side it would be helpful if whoever you are booking your tee time through would list the "other than normal" course conditions. For instance we didn't know that it was cart path only, the greens had been recently plugged, and one par 4 tee box had been moved up making it a par three. Had we known this we probably would not have played.

Wont play here again

No marshal so no accountability when it comes to tee times. I was on the 2nd hole as a foursome and there was a single, a twosome, and another single all playing separately on the 1st hole. Felt pressured to play quickly and absolutely ruined the start of round. Waited 15-20 min to tee off on the 6th hole. Pay too much money to have this slow of pace of play. Don’t recommend

Tight and tidy.

Narrow yes w galleries of houses but the shortness of the holes makes it approachable. Course wet soft and green and cart path only. I walked and enjoyed that. Very walkable course. At $60 I paid what feels right. $109 to me is outrageous for this course. I’ll be back.

Great Course with a Catch

Loved the course layout and scenery. Greens in great shape. Most of the Tee boxes in good shape with minor exceptions. Biggest gripe - two groups ahead of us was a group of 6. Made for extremely slow play. Ten or more minute wait at last 12 Tee boxes. Sometimes the same on fairway shots. No Marshall was seen to help pick up pace. Despite this we will return again next year.

We’ll Be Back!

Yes The fairways are lined with houses but my wife and I both loved the course. Very well maintained. Tight fairways and the greens played fast. What’s not to like?

great course

I enjoy this course for its beauty and playability. Some holes are straight forward but a few are a challenge. It is in good shape for this time of the season.

Local knowledge needed.

Course knowledge helps a lot on this venue. We hit some pretty nice drives and irons only to find more difficult than necessary following shots in to the greens.. If only we had played the previous shot towards the other side of the fairway for a better angle.
But overall it was a beautiful day on a beautiful well-maintained course. A very pleasant experience!

Pines

Definitely a tough narrow track but score able. You have to play smart at this course. There are a few holes that you need only a 180-200 yard max tee shot or your in trouble Enjoy

Pace

Golf course was awesome. Staff was great. Front 9 moved right along we hit 10 and came to a foursome that was just plain ridiculous. Nobody in front of them just fricking slow. We played to hole 12 and called it because the pace. But I'll play it again it was a blast. Thanks

a favorite

Great course. Staff is friendly and service oriented. Hole # 9 is difficult due to an elevated green at least 80 ft, Upkeep is incredible and in great shape. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous but narrow!

For a middle -teens handicapper this is a tough golf course.... pretty high slope. You cannot leave the fairway, and most are quite narrow. But the views/terrain are hard to beat, and the Pro & staff are awesome!

Nice surprise !!!

On the front there were several very tight holes with condos very close to the fairway (closest I have ever seen in 40 years of playing golf !!!!!) Too close for comfort...... The course is not what i would consider a premium course but fun.

Resort style

This course has an interesting layout. It is a resort style setup but it is a more challenging than expected. It is always a fun place to be. A tree lined course so it is a bit cooler. Check layout of course because there are a few layup holes especially hole 10. Short hole but a lot of Trouble short of green.

Very narrow

Will likely not return to this course. Very narrow with townhomes on most holes. Luckily, we were able to pass 4 other groups which sped things up a lot. Just was not an enjoyable round. Will look for someplace else the next time in the area.
