Plumas Lake Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Established in 1926, Plumas Lake Golf & Country Club has long been one of the Sacramento Valley's most treasured courses. First opened as a nine-hole layout, the course expanded to a full 18 holes in 1960. Mature oak trees line the lush fairways and small greens and there is also a canal that snakes through the entire property, coming into play on 12 holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers protecting the greens. You're in for a formidable test on this golf course but the rough is quite manageable and the layout isn't particularly long or hilly. Plumas Lake's 10th is one of the most memorable holes. This tough hole is a short par 5 that requires an accurate drive over a creek that crosses the fairway before you're faced with an elevated green.

Good greens:, ball rolls nice. Tricky lots of break, fraiways sparse grass nice layout, no two holes the same..
Always a fun challenge
Plumas Lake is always a fun but challenging , difficult golf course. Bermuda grass fairways turn brown color during the winter months. The course is in better condition than it looks because of the bermuda grass. Greens are good. Never too crowded to play on a weekday after 12 noon. Excellent value.
Awesome today
8 am tee. Great pace. Greens great condition. Moved slow due to the condensation as expected. Got faster as sun rose. Some dry areas in some fairways but still low grass to hit from. Several dog legs. Layup on a few holes for a straighter shot to pin (2, 14, 18). Wide fairways on almost all tees. Enjoy.
Nice hideaway
Grass winter feel. Nice long 5 pars. Great dog legs. Bar and Grill open. Drinks. Staff very friendly. Clean.
Fun layout, poor fairways.
Plumas Lake GC is a great layout. Unfortunately, much of the fairways have poor fairway grass density, so second shots in the fairways didn't have the spin other denser turf would afford. The rough is thick. Balls in the rough are sufficiently hidden and challenging shots out. The greens ran well. Certainly, the flat weak turf in the fairways is the weakness here.

Always fun
The friendly and helpful staff got us off to a good start to our golf day. The course was in good condition and the pace of play was perfect.
Slowly Going Downhill
let's hope things turn around soon, but the current trend isn't promising. I play this course a couple of times a year. The course hasn't been in really good shape for more than a decade, but my last four or five visits have left me increasingly pessimistic about its future. Dozens of different grasses (not to mention a few weeds) fill the fairways and the greens are blotchy. One feels the need to play "winter rules" year round. The layout is really pretty good and presents a true challenge to all levels of skill. Please save this course!
