Little Nugget Golf Course (Closed)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Little Nugget Golf Course still open for play?

Unfortunately, no, Little Nugget Golf Course is permanently closed. We remember its quirky charm well, but its greens haven't seen a golf ball in years. Don't plan your trip around playing here, as you'll be disappointed.

What led to the closure of Little Nugget Golf Course?

From what we saw, the course struggled with maintenance and dwindling local interest over its final years. It was a tough spot for a smaller, less-manicured course to compete, and eventually, the owners decided to close its gates for good. It's a shame, as it had a unique, rustic feel.

Can you still visit the former site of Little Nugget Golf Course, and what's there now?

While you can drive by the general area, don't expect to find manicured fairways or even a clubhouse standing. The land has largely reverted to its natural state, and there's no public access or golf-related infrastructure left. It's a quiet reminder of what once was, but not a destination itself.

What was special about Little Nugget Golf Course when it was open?

Little Nugget was never about championship golf; it was a true local's course, unpretentious and forgiving. We always appreciated its laid-back atmosphere and the surprisingly tricky par-3s that could humble even seasoned players. It offered a quick, affordable round without any fuss.

If I was looking for a similar experience to Little Nugget, what nearby courses would you recommend?

Since Little Nugget's rustic charm is gone, we'd point you towards some other local gems that offer a similar unpretentious vibe. Check out 'Old Mill Run' for its friendly staff and walkable layout, or 'Pine Ridge Municipal' if you're after an affordable, no-frills round with some surprising elevation changes. Both capture a bit of that old-school, community course feel.
