Played yesterday afternoon. Very hot for such a high altitude. And very busy for such an early time in the year.

Course is a beautiful course winding through tall pine trees with nice elevation changes, wide fairways, lush and green already this time of year, large undulating greens and unbelievable tough rough.

Great mixture of 3's 4's and 5's. Especially the 8th hole a par 3 surrounded by water bunkers and an elevated tee box and virtually no area for bail out.

I was surprised the course was in such nice shape at this time of the year. Most mountain courses really come into full mode in July/Aug.

Never had a bad tee box. Fairways are wide but still soft so very little rollout. But they did give really nice lies all round.

But you do not want to be in the rough. The grass is about 1" high, and the ball sits down and it is just tough to power the ball out unless you have a really powerful swing and follow through.

Traps were all playable. In one and no issue getting out and heard no complaints from others.

Greens were very nice. They had good firmness to them, so they released well hit shots and of course sent your ball flying off the green if not. They had good speed at about 10, and you did not want to be above any hole. Chipped and putted just great.

Was charged $65 w cart which I thought was reasonable given it is a resort course. No doubt more expensive in July and Aug.

Very nice clubhouse with a well-stocked pro shop. Carts are gas but ran great. Did not eat in restaurant but it is big and looked very nice, especially the outside patio looking over the 1st and 18th greens. Driving range and practice areas very nice.

Have always wanted to play here when I lived in N CA previously and also to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park just up the road. Glad to take both off my list. Easy to get to by using
I 5N and route 36 E. About 3.5 H North of Sacramento depending upon traffic and how one drives.

Highly recommended.

So now on to Plumas Pines and Edgewood over the next two days.
