Mt. Shasta Resort

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play golf at Mt. Shasta Resort?

For ideal conditions and those breathtaking mountain vistas, we highly recommend visiting between late spring and early fall. The weather is usually perfect, and the course is in peak shape, offering the best experience of the surrounding natural beauty. We suggest booking your tee times well in advance, especially for weekend play.

What kind of challenge can I expect from the course design?

The course at Mt. Shasta Resort is a fun challenge, blending strategic play with its natural surroundings. You'll encounter significant elevation changes and some tight fairways that demand accuracy, but it's still very enjoyable for a range of handicaps. Don't be surprised if you find yourself reaching for a different club than usual.

Are there any standout holes or unique features I should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th hole; it offers a truly iconic view of Mount Shasta that's perfect for a photo. The back nine, in particular, has some dramatic downhill shots and tricky greens that will test your short game. It's a memorable layout that rewards thoughtful play.

What's the post-round experience like at the resort?

After your round, we always head to The Highland House restaurant at the resort for a well-deserved drink and a bite. The deck offers incredible panoramic views, making it the perfect spot to relive your best shots and soak in the mountain air. It's a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that completes the experience.

How does the high altitude affect my golf game here?

The elevation at Mt. Shasta Resort definitely adds a unique twist to your game - expect your ball to fly a bit further than usual. We recommend clubbing down by about a half-club, especially on downhill shots, to avoid overshooting greens. It's a fun adjustment that you'll quickly get the hang of.
