The Sierra's Best-Kept Secret
Graeagle is the most underrated golf destination in the Sierra. Five championship courses sit within 20 minutes of each other — Grizzly Ranch, Whitehawk Ranch, Nakoma (The Dragon), Plumas Pines, and Graeagle Meadows. You can play all five in three days without moving hotels.
Prices run 30–40% below comparable Lake Tahoe packages. The pace of play is unhurried. The mountain setting at 4,000 feet delivers the same Sierra views without the weekend crowds. Golf the High Sierra has been booking Graeagle groups since 2004.

Is Grizzly Ranch worth it for a group golf trip?
Yes. Grizzly Ranch is a private club ranked in Golf Digest's Top 100 Courses in the US, and Golf the High Sierra arranges group access via a direct relationship. The Bob Cupp design plays through high-Sierra valley terrain at 4,800–5,400 feet with generous fairways and an excellent practice range. The Lake House restaurant on the 18th hole is perfect for post-round group meals. Pair it with Whitehawk Ranch for the definitive Graeagle two-course trip.
How does Graeagle compare to Reno for a golf trip?
Graeagle is a quieter mountain resort experience with no casinos — lodging is in boutique hotels, townhomes, and private residences. Courses are less crowded than Reno, and the Plumas County valley setting is unique in California. Groups who want scenic mountain golf without casino distractions consistently rate Graeagle their best GTHS trip. Reno is better for large groups wanting nightlife; Graeagle is better for groups who want to fully disconnect.
