Open May 24 - Oct. 12, 2008 (conditions permitting).

At 8,000 feet above sea level, Sierra Star Golf Course is the highest golf course in California, allowing you to add yards to your drive. And with snow-capped peaks in every direction, winding mountain streams, lush wildflowers, fairways lined with Jeffrey pines and towering red firs and the occasional white-tailed deer – you won't find a more stunning golf course anywhere.
