Scottish Links at Lake Shastina Golf Resort sits in the high-elevation town of Weed in far northern California, roughly fifteen miles south of the Oregon border. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1970, the course occupies rolling terrain at approximately 3,200 feet above sea level, with views of Mount Shasta dominating the eastern horizon. The layout reflects Jones's characteristic design principles from that era: broad fairways, large greens with subtle internal contours, and strategic bunkering that rewards accurate approach play. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural undulations and incorporates several water features, including ponds and streams that come into play on multiple holes. The course stretches to over 6,900 yards from the back tees, though the elevation provides some assistance with carry distances. Wind can be a factor given the exposed high-desert setting, and the climate allows for a playing season that typically runs from late spring through mid-autumn. Lake Shastina Golf Resort operates as a semi-private facility, with the Scottish Links serving as one of two courses on the property. The resort caters to both members and visiting golfers, offering lodging and dining amenities alongside the golf. The course provides a relatively affordable mountain golf experience in a region better known for outdoor recreation than destination golf, appealing primarily to regional players and travelers passing through northern California on Interstate 5.
