Trinity Alps Golf & Country Club
About this course
Trinity Alps Golf & Country Club sits in the mountain town of Weaverville in northern California's Trinity County, roughly an hour west of Redding. Designed by Felix Claveran and opened in the mid-1970s, the course occupies rolling terrain at approximately 2,000 feet elevation, surrounded by the forested peaks of the Trinity Alps and Klamath Mountains. The setting offers a distinctly alpine character uncommon in California golf, with ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, and seasonal creeks defining the playing corridors. The layout reflects Claveran's regional design work during that era, featuring tree-lined fairways that follow the natural contours of the property. Elevation changes throughout the round create variety in both stance and approach angles, and several holes require carries over ravines or careful navigation around mature timber. The greens are modest in size and typically protected by bunkers positioned to challenge approach shots from less-than-ideal angles. Trinity Alps serves primarily as a community course for residents and visitors to this remote corner of California. The club operates in a mountain resort environment where golf is one recreational element among hiking, fishing, and access to the nearby Trinity Lake and Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. The course closes or operates on limited schedules during winter months when snow and cold temperatures make play impractical at this elevation.

Getting there
Most visitors to Trinity Alps Golf & Country Club fly into Sacramento International Airport (SMF), roughly two and a half hours south, though Redding Municipal Airport offers a closer regional option for those seeking a shorter drive into the mountains. From either point, the route traces Highway 299 west as it climbs steadily into the Klamath Range, leaving behind the Central Valley's heat for the cooler, pine-scented air of Trinity County. The final miles into Weaverville reveal a landscape of forested ridges and alpine meadows, with the jagged Trinity Alps rising in the distance - a fitting backdrop for one of Northern California's most secluded golf retreats.
