Nakoma Golf Resort - Dragon Course

We have longed to play this course for a few years now and finally found the opportunity. What a grand day we had! The course had previously been known as extremely difficult and remains to be so although it appears several avenues have been taken to alleviate some of the hazards and difficulty of play for most range of players. The beauty of this course creates a MUST PLAY course. The entire staff were very accommodating and eloquent, as was the dining prior and following golf. We are eager to return to The Dragon of Nakoma.

This is a magnificent course. Each shot demands your best. It is a real "ball-strikers" golf course. Not a course for recommended for beginners. Course was in PERFECT condition and pace of play was as fast or slow as I wanted. Bring your camera and an extra sleeve of balls - you'll want both!

Great course in awesome setting. Out of the way, but worth the drive.

Had never played here before....took a mini vacation at this resort...and it was fabulous. Very scenic, well maintained. We played two days in a row...and were basically the only ones out there. Booked a hot deal for $40/pp while everyone else was paying more than $100. Not clear how they can afford to maintain this beautiful course with no one playing on it..so my advice would be go play while you can! You'll be glad you Did!

My wife and I had a wonderful day of golf at The Dragon. Course was in exceptional condition and the weather was perfect. Staff was very friendly and we were able to go out a little early. We had a great time on this beautiful and challenging Sierra course.

4 of us (60 somethings) spend 5-6 days in Graeagle every summer and play 5 -6 rounds of golf at various courses, To us, the Dragon is by far the most beautiful and challenging.

Plan on at least 4-10 strokes above your average.

While having played Nakoma's, "The Dragon", many times, it's always great to play, as each time and turn it changes like a chameleon, with beauty at every turn. That is why we play. The long 5 par's give the sloped valley's show many snow capped mountain peaks and views of sunsets that go on forever. Bring a few extra balls and your best game.

Course was in great shape, but is very challenging. Pace of play was pretty good for a Saturday. Staff was outstanding!!

One on the best golf courses in the reno area . Some what hard but fair . Great shape

Course was in excellent condition considering it was buried in snow 2 months ago!

Always a tough course to play, but what a view from every hole. Feather river was running hard, but the greens were holding. Looking forward to a return visit...

This is a great golf course. Very wet in the morning but difficult and very fun!

greens were a little slow, and first time players, watch out, all my best shots were with my camera. Will go back.

The Nakoma Dragon course in Clio, California is like something that you've never seen. The course is absoulutley spectacular. I played it the first day it was open for the 2016 golf season. (May the first). The course hit some hard times back it about '08 or '09 but the course has definetly recovered. The course had buetifuel holes and is a tough track with lots of elevation changes and plentiful amounts of hazards. The clubhouse is very nice and almost impossible to miss with the crazy design and the buetifuel exterior and interior. The staff was very helpful and told us some history about the course. Overall the course is great and reccomend if in the area.

My son and I played this course on October 2 in wind, rain and a little snow -- some of the worst conditions I have experienced as a golfer. However, this did not detract from the experience as much as the course itself. There is a lot of elevation change and many sloping fairways on the course, but this is all manageable. What is not manageable are the greens! Most are so slanted and steep as to make putting almost impossible, and they were so hard and dry that even well-hit shots did not hold and simply bounced off into the surrounding rough. That being said, Mike, in the pro shop, was extremely accomodating and helpful during our round and I cannot commend him too highly. If we return at all to this course, it will be because of his actions, not the golf course itself.

Played with another couple that has been visiting the CA Sierras for 20+ years. Four of us seniors played the course from the forward tees and enjoyed the challenging holes. We had dinner after the round at Nakoma with a friend who is a resident there. The venue and menu were great; host Joe was attentive and made the experience delightful.

We will be up again. Love the courses in the area. My wife's favorite is the Dragon and she is 77.

Always challenging, even more so with high winds...lots of cedar sees and pine needles on some greens.

Beautiful views. Very fast greens. Entertaining layout.

Coarse is very tough a bit over priced my only complaint was we were in a frost delay so u decided to order a breakfast sandwich when the unfriendly server/bartender took my order,now there were on me and my playing partner in the bar area,and he didn't order,I she asked sausage or bacon on your sandwich and I said sausage please well after about 20 mins to make this sandwich it finally arrived with bacon not sausage when I informed miss congeniality it was wrong she said what do u want a piece of sausage?? Not I'm sorry for the mistake
