When you are tasked with planning a trip for a high-performing team or a group of close friends, the pressure is on to find a location that balances sport with true relaxation. For many, the search ends in the High Sierra, specifically in a place known for its championship-caliber courses and quiet luxury. Organizing golf groups in this part of the world isn't just a vacation; it’s an opportunity to reset in a pristine environment.
There is a distinct magic to Graeagle California that you won't find in the more commercialized corners of the state. This town has managed to preserve its small-town soul while becoming a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer things. The combination of historic red cabins and world-class golf creates a setting that is both nostalgic and sophisticated.
The courses here are famous for their "mountain style" play, which means dramatic elevation changes and fairways lined with ancient pines. At Graeagle Meadows, you get a traditional feel with uncrowded fairways that allow for a focused game. Meanwhile, nearby Grizzly Ranch offers a more rugged, strategic challenge that consistently ranks as one of the best public-access courses in California.
For those who want to test their limits, The Dragon at Nakoma is known for its demanding strategy and stunning Frank Lloyd Wright-designed clubhouse. Just a short drive away, Whitehawk Ranch provides a visual masterpiece where seven streams meander through the course. Having such high-quality variety in one small area makes this the ultimate playground for serious players.
We take a boutique approach to travel, meaning every part of the itinerary is tailored to the specific needs of the group. We understand that an affluent audience expects more than just a tee time. They want a cohesive experience where every detail, from the morning coffee to the evening nightcap, is handled with precision and care.
The accommodations in the area range from cozy, high-end cabins at River Pines Resort to sprawling private estates perfect for a large party. We help you select the lodging that best fits the social dynamic of your group. Many of these homes feature large outdoor decks and gourmet kitchens, providing the perfect space for "après-golf" relaxation and storytelling.
Moving a group through mountain terrain requires local expertise. We coordinate all the logistics, ensuring that your clubs, your guests, and your gear arrive exactly where they need to be. Whether it's a shuttle from a nearby airport or transit between the various local courses, we take the stress out of the travel. This allows the group to stay together and enjoy the journey.
While the golf is the main event, the lifestyle of the Mohawk Valley offers plenty of other ways to unwind. The area is a hub for outdoor adventure, from fly-fishing on the Feather River to hiking in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area. This variety is perfect for groups where some members might want a break from the fairways to explore the local wilderness.
The dining scene in the region reflects its sophisticated yet laid-back character. You can find everything from casual deck-side dining overlooking the course to fine-dining experiences at historic lodges like Gray Eagle Lodge. We can arrange for group reservations or even private catering at your rental home. Sampling the local craft beers and farm-to-table cuisine is a highlight of any stay.
The town’s history as a lumber mill center is still visible today, giving it a unique architectural charm. Visitors enjoy exploring the local museums and shops that line the boardwalk. The sense of community is strong here, and it’s not uncommon to see seasonal festivals or live music events at the Mill Pond. It adds a layer of cultural depth to the vacation.

The High Sierra provides a backdrop of natural grandeur that elevates every round of golf and every social gathering.
