First established in 1926, Plumas Lake Golf & County Club has long been known as the “Hidden Jewel” of the Sacramento Valley. Located 10 miles south of Marysville and just 6 miles off Highway 70, this course is a relatively short 30-40 minute drive from Sacramento and about 45 minutes from the Chico and Oroville areas. While the original 9-holes were developed by club members, the course was expanded to 18-holes and redesigned in 1960 by renowned golf course architect, Bob Baldock. This semi-private facility is open to the public and has twice been rated as a top 100 public golf course in America by Golf Digest. While playing the course, one will encounter an abundance of mature oak trees that both line the Bermuda fairways and protect the relatively small greens. A drainage canal meanders throughout the property and comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes. Playing at 6200 yards form the White Tees the course is not exceptionally long or hilly, so those seeking exercise can walk without a problem.

In the fall of 2006, Plumas Lake underwent a $350,000 renovation project of all 18 putting surfaces. Completed in November 2006, these greens are now 30% larger on average and feature added undulations and contours, along with a premium turf that is pure hybrid bent grass. No more Poa in these greens! Please visit our section “Greens Renovation Project” for a detailed explanation from the architect, Matt Hansen, about all that went in to the redesign of these beautiful greens. In The Spring of 2007, the maintenance of the golf course was contracted out to Greenway Golf, a management company that helped the club to organize the greens renovation project. Plumas Lake is very pleased in this association with Greenway Golf, as their specialty is golf course maintenance practices and techniques that promote superior healthy bent grass greens.
