SNOWCREEK GOLF COURSE (1991)

 

HIGH SIERRA REGION

Resort - 9 hole - cost: $27 - $48

Old Mammoth Rd/Fairway Drive, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546

Tel: (760) 934-6633 

 

Designed by Ted Robinson. There is little room for error off the tee or around the green, as water comes into play on seven of the nine holes on this fairly level course. The greens are moderate in size and have been known to be hard and fast. If the game isn't going as planned, don't worry; there are plenty of mountain views to enjoy. From San Bernardino (about 290 miles north to the course): Take I-15 north to US 395, north to Highway 203, and then west to Mammoth Lakes. At the light at Old Mammoth Road, turn left and drive one mile to the course.

Soboba Casino is located a mile and a half up the road. From Riverside (about 32 miles southeast to the club): Take Highway 60 east to Highway 79 south. Turn left on Gilman Springs Road and then left on Soboba Road.
