Julian and his crew make this one of the stars in summer activities in Mammoth Lakes. While there are only 9 holes, it can take a life time to get them all right. I have been playing this course for over 20 years and it just keeps getting better and better. the greens are fast and the fairways wide open and lush. But if the wind comes up, and it does, try to break par. worth every penny.

While, this place is pretty pricey($ 45 for green fees and cart for only 9 holes) it is also one of the nicest courses I play on. I still go every time I am in Mammoth during the summer. The whole course is lush, green and beautiful. The 4th Hole runs along the back edge of the property and has an amazing view of the mountains to the south. Even on weekends it never seems to be too busy, so you should be able to play at a comfortable pace. It also has Tiger Tees for the kids. Worth it.

Although I’ve been coming to Mammoth for over 30 years… I will never play golf at Snow Creek again. The Manager(Julian, has an accent) interrupted our game of golf in the middle of hole two to tell us we we’re interrupting other golfers(him who was playing golf while«working») Now I will say, we had five players and we’re told to keep it as a twosome and a threesome, but there was no one behind us and we were trying to play as a family. We were also the only players on the course. Golf wonders why there’s less people playing the game… there’s your answer. It’s delta bravo’s like the Manager(Julian).

We have been coming to Mammoth in the summer for over a decade and during that time we have played golf at Snowcreek every time. This is consistently a highlight of our trip. The views are incredible and the staff is truly amazing. We have golfed at some very upscale golf courses but none has come close to the quality of the staff at Snowcreek — they are professional, courteous and friendly! We played on Tuesday and the marshall did an excellent job of keeping the play moving along. Yes, this is only a 9 hole course but being in the High Sierras means that conditions will guarantee a different playing experience on the«back nine». Water is in play on some of the holes — the 9th hole in particular — which makes for an interesting challenge at the end of the game. No matter how well or poorly you are playing, you will be rewarded by beautiful vistas on every turn.

Played this course last summer with my friend while we were in the area for vacation, we both loved this course. The course itself was in great condition, really well kept tee boxes, greens, and fairways with some challenging rough and bunker. The greens here were incredibly fast, my home course has a slower green so that definitely took some getting used to lol. The views and scenery on this course is breathtaking, a few holes into our round we wished one of us would have had a camera so we could film some holes. Even the range, you are hitting your balls straight into the mountains, just something I’m not used to at all so I appreciated it that much more. The staff was great! Really helpful and genuine, from calling and asking questions and booking tee times to even when we played. When we played I can’t even remember what month it was but we got an unreal deal. It was about $ 40 each with a cart and 18 holes. Such a beautiful fun course, welcoming staff, not crowded at all. Definitely will be playing here again this summer.

Ok course but snotty staff. Dress code strict for the course — I’ve played better that were easier going. Also runs up the fees(ie per rider charge for carts). Too expensive overall.

So this is going to be a biased review because in general I don’t like golf courses. When they exist in desert climates, they waste massive amounts of water. Even when they’re located in areas in which water isn’t scarce, they often don’t conform to the local landscape, and the groundskeepers kill gophers for having the audacity to live in their natural habitat. In general, the modern American golf course is a monument to selfishness, wastefulness, and pseudo love of nature of our society as a whole. Back before I had thought about this stuff, I played a few nine-hole rounds here. The view from the golf course itself is breathtaking, and the course itself is maintained well and at least looks like it incorporates native flora. I’m also pretty impressed with myself because this was the first golf course on which I ever shot par on a legitimate-distance par-4 hole.(I was fifteen or sixteen at the time and didn’t golf often.) Every time I golfed here, I came with my dad, who was even more of an amateur than I was at the time. We didn’t fit in with the rest of this place’s clientele. We weren’t sporty enough; we didn’t play fast enough(I like walking a course, so we didn’t use golf carts); we weren’t polo-shirty enough. So in general, the golf course itself is nice for a golf course. I can do without the attitude of the clubhouse people. I don’t like the idea of golf courses in the first place. So why do I give it two stars instead of one? Well, first of all, it’s just an absolutely beautiful golf course. And I appreciate the fact that they built it in a meadow, so they didn’t have to cut down(too many) trees to build it. That’s a far cry from the nearby Sierra Star, which is the result of an absolute rape of some beautiful natural pine forest.

I may have a new favorite 9-hole course. Beautiful views on every hole. Course was in late summer shape, which is to say, not great, Fairways were brown in some spots, but were pliable and playable. Greens were US open firm but held on really high shots. Not a standard course, rough was grown out in some spots and the greens were multi tier, with lots of undulations. But the main reason to play here are the fantastic High Sierra views. $ 33 is a little steep for 9 holes, but I’ll play here every time I visit for sure… in the summer that is.

I have to say that I absolutely love this course. The grass is so beautifully kept and I am so amazed of how well they can turn the course around into playable shape after the harsh snowy winters. I know that most people do not think of Mammoth as a non-winter destination, but I have to say that it does have the most amazing appeal in the summer and fall time. This course has beautiful views of the canyons and mountain ranges. It also is lined by the mansions of Snow Creek. I have to admit that this course is enjoyable and as relaxing as they come. I am going to play this course every time if go up to Mammoth when it is not snowing!!!
