Must have forgotten to submit this. Played 10/16. Course is in pristine shape.Tight,quirky, shot makers course. Beautiful surroundings. Not my kind of course,didn't play so well,and had an absolute blast. Closes at the end of the month. If you get a chance and the weather cooperates, I highly recommend checking it out.

Played here with deepsea and his buddy Todd on a beautiful fall day. The smoke cleared out and we had mid 70’s and no wind. Peter and Todd are a blast to play with.

Like Peter wrote the course is in really great condition and provided a good test with a mix of tight holes and interesting hazards to deal with. Not much rough to deal with missed fairways putting you in the trees. Greens are nice with hardly a ball mark and medium speed.
The staff was welcoming and the starter spent some time explaining the layout.
I will try to play here again next year.

Played Friday the first round of three in a row. 45 min to an hour drive north of Truckee CA.
Course has a simple efficient clubhouse and check-in driving range close to first tee. Course is very green and lush. Little smoke this day made it a perfect autumn Sierra golf day.

Mix of local and resort players and a friendly feeling atmosphere. We played white tees joined by Gk'er Steve. Fairways are like carpet the greens rolled well hardly a ball mark to be found.
A bit tight through the forest and resort rentals. At 6000+yards felt like moving up to a shorter tee box would have been better for our 20ish indexes. POP at our own and just a beautiful relaxing round of golf.

I know it's off the beaten track but if in the area its a thumbs up Recommend.

Played here Sunday evening at the end of a long day of great golf. We had GroupGolfer vouchers that were purchased some time ago (I believe for $45). We could have saved some when we actually ended up playing (with a cheaper late twilight rate), but it was still a fine deal on a great course. We had to jump around a bit to get around groups and make sure we finished in time to turn our cart in by 8:00, but ultimately got through all 18 in less than 2 hours.

The course was in good overall shape. Very green and lush throughout, and also very soft as experienced at most courses on this trip. Other than limited roll-out, the conditions from tee to green were good. The greens were also pretty nice, rolling well at medium speeds. Solid bunkers, too.

This is a nice course that might get overlooked with some bigger name tracks nearby. However, it is worth checking out and it seems they offer some of the better deals than the other more expensive 18-holers around these parts. It is a fun layout with plenty of hills, trees, water hazards and other dramatic features. There is one stretch on the front nine that plays a little too close to the houses for my comfort level, but otherwise it has a nice scenic setting with the front nine being out in a more open valley/marsh area and the back being more tight through the forest. Definitely good enough to recommend if you like mountain courses.

Played Plumas Pines on the 14th & 17th of last month. Course was in great shape as usual. The rains have really helped with the area and everything is lush. The driving range is in great shape, as is the practice area between 10 and 18.

The course setup is fair, but still technical. 4th hole is probably the most challenging with houses on the right and a arm of the Feather River to the left.

Played mid week so it was not packed. Played in about 4:15 minutes.

Played 6/13/2016 temp around 70°, medium wind, noon shotgun Played 6/15/2016 temp around 55°, gusty wind, 10:50 tee time First trip to Plumas Pines. Course could have been better, in need of maintenance. Greens were slow and bumpy. Around 8 on the stimp and they look like they haven't seen a roller all year. But plenty of green and no brown spots or divot marks. Easily fixed with maintenance work. Fairways and rough are good. Bunkers are smooth. Not fluffy but explodable. Overall, course is tree-lined but doesn't play as narrow as it looks. Some water carries, but Feather River doesn't really come into play. Electric carts, ice chests and ball washers. Bring your own GPS and towels. Weather was a downer since temp was 15°-20° below average and wind was 15 mph and higher. Don't expect country club conditions; rather an above average muni. We paid $55, but walk on rate around $80 is too high.

Played here on a late summer Saturday afternoon with a college buddy who has a cabin on the course. The conditions are very nice. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and traps were all well maintained. The layout of the course is strongly influenced by its location. It's in the mountains and adjacent to the Feather River. Accordingly, it is hilly with a lot of water. It is also tight. Several holes require you to be very precise with your approach shots. If you are 75 yards from the center of the green on a few holes, you need to hit between 70 and 80 yards, or you're looking at a penalty. This happened to me on a few holes, especially # 6. My tee shot was 75 yards to the green. I hit a decent wedge that sailed over the narrow green (and over the water hazard in front of the green) only to find the water hazard behind the green. The green was only about 10 yards wide. At least I scored it as a water ball. There were white takes along with the red stakes behind the green. On several holes the water hazards are within only a few yards of the green, and they guard a large portion of it. My approach shot that was pulled a few yards to the left of the green on number 8 disappeared into the cat tails. However, these holes seemed almost fair compared to #'s 9 and 10. With # 9 you know you're in the mountains, because the green is at the top of a ridge, or at least it seems that way. A good driver and three iron left me about 30 yards short. An admittedly poor chip to the back fringe left me with a delicate chip to the pin in the middle of the green. I watched in horror as my chip rolled slowly to the hole, and kept on rolling to the front fringe. Hole # 10 is a short, very tight dogleg left with water in the front of the green. A drive of much more than 150 yards is likely to end up in the water, as mine did. This is a course where a little course knowledge goes a long way. I can't say I'm aching to go back, though. Bottom line: If you can't hit the ball straight, don't bother with this course. Staff were quite friendly. Longboards is one of the nicest places around.

This is a fun course built around a residential community just off of Johnsville Rd and Hwy 89 tucked under a ridge. The middle arm of the Feather River runs through the boundary of the course.

This is a shorter course with narrow fairways and small greens. Target golf. If you are not accurate with the driver, then you should focus on your long irons for sure or you will be OB and searching for your ball all day.

The course was in fantastic shape, considering the recent weather they have been getting. Everything is lush, green, and rolling well.

The front 9 is more open than the back nine, with narrow house lined fairways. Small undulations in the fairway, and lots of water make it a challenging course even with the short yardages.

Service was great, fantastic driving range with awesome views. Club house and restaurant is a real gem if you visit this area. Friendly staff.

Lot's of homes are for rent on this course. We have played here every year for the past 5 years with a group and rent out several condo's on the 4th hole. In the evenings once play is done you can find yourself working on your short game around the 4th green or you can fish the feather river which runs down the back side of the 4th fairway.

Great guys trip if you ever want to visit this area. It's about a 4hr drive from San Francisco. Just an hour north of Truckee.

Played 7/6 10 am $95. P.O.P. 5 hrs. Holiday weekend so it was very busy, but the scenery is great so it didn't seem so bad. It was a $95 asskickin for me. Front nine very narrow with lots of water and hazards to find if not straight off the T.
Which I was not. Back nine slightly more forgiving with little water. The greens are small with lots of break.
Fairways are in fantastic shape. Rough is pretty thick and fairly penilizing. Greens beautiful and soft, but putted very slow. Only a few bunkers and I was not in any of them (surprisingly)
A beautiful,fun,challenging target mountain golf course
