Designed by Allen Thomas. You will find tree-lined fairways and small greens at Sierra Meadows. There is also a creek that wanders throughout, coming into play on ten of the 18 holes. Although not a long course, the Ranch Course requires accuracy off the tee. A two million dollar renovation has improved conditioning. From Mariposa (about 25 miles southeast to the course): Take Highway 49 east toward Oakhurst. Pass through the little town of Ahwahnee. Turn left on Harmony Lane Continue straight, and the the road becomes Opah Drive. Drive another two and one-half miles to the course. There is signage.
