Firtastic

See directions below. This mid-length course (average hole 275 feet) plays through a shady tract of towering grand fir and ponderosa pine trees, and offers plentiful ace and birdie opportunities for experienced players. The large fir trees provide a unique setting compared to other courses in the area. The first tee pad is about 200 feet up the trail on the north side of the parking lot (the same side of the road as the cans you can see from the parking area). Look for vertical orange blazes on trees marking the trail. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not rely on Apple or Google maps for directions because they do not recognize our Forest Service roads.
