About this course

Feather River Park sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Blairsden in Plumas County, California, at an elevation above 4,000 feet. Designed by Bert Stamps and opened in the 1970s, the course occupies forested mountain terrain characteristic of the region, with ponderosa pines and firs framing fairways that move through natural elevation changes. The layout reflects the era's approach to mountain golf design, working with rather than dramatically reshaping the existing topography. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, offering a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies that require thoughtful club selection and course management. Water comes into play on several holes, typically in the form of small creeks or ponds that reflect the area's watershed character. The thin mountain air at this elevation affects ball flight, adding distance but also requiring adjustment to approach shots and short game calculations. Feather River Park Resort operates as a destination property serving golfers visiting the northern Sierra Nevada, an area known more for outdoor recreation and natural beauty than for golf tourism. The course provides a straightforward mountain golf experience without the polish or conditioning standards of resort courses in more developed markets. Summers bring comfortable temperatures that contrast with the valley heat to the west, while the winter season typically closes the course due to snow.

Getting there

The journey to Feather River Park Resort begins at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), roughly an hour's drive northwest through the Sierra Nevada foothills and into California's remote Plumas County. The route traces the Feather River's Middle Fork, climbing gently through stands of Jeffrey pine and fir as the highway narrows and the air sharpens with altitude. By the time you reach the quiet hamlet of Blairsden, the world has distilled to forest, meadow, and mountain - a fitting threshold for a resort that has quietly occupied this high-country corner since the 1920s.
