Championship at Lake Shastina Golf Resort

Lake Shastina Golf Resort, carved into the shadow of its namesake peak near Weed, California, presents a test of wills for those willing to brave its undulating fairways. The course, a product of the early 1970s, offers wide, forgiving landing areas off the tee, but demands cunning approaches to greens fiercely protected by strategic bunkering and subtle contours. While not nationally renowned, Lake Shastina provides a challenging and scenic round within the Shasta Cascade region.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the course leverages the dramatic elevation changes and natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Mature pines frame many of the holes, adding to the course's aesthetic appeal and strategic complexity. Several doglegs and blind shots require local knowledge to navigate successfully.

The club is known for its friendly, unpretentious atmosphere, reflecting the laid-back character of Northern California. The 19th hole is a popular gathering spot, where players often recount their rounds while enjoying the stunning views of Mount Shasta.
