Bidwell Park Golf Course

About Bidwell Park Golf Course

This municipal gem sits beautifully within Chico's expansive Bidwell Park, offering tree-lined fairways that wind through mature oaks and sycamores in one of California's most scenic park settings. The course takes full advantage of its natural terrain, with several holes playing alongside Chico Creek and others climbing gentle hills that provide glimpses of the Sierra Nevada foothills. What sets this track apart is how seamlessly it integrates with the park environment. You'll often see joggers and cyclists on nearby trails, creating a uniquely communal outdoor experience that's rare in golf. At 4.2 stars from over 200 Google reviews, Bidwell Park delivers solid municipal golf at an honest price point. The conditioning won't wow you like a resort course, but the layout is thoughtful enough to keep you engaged, and the walking-friendly terrain makes it a pleasure to play on foot. For visiting golfers exploring Northern California, it's worth the stop just to experience golf within such an iconic public park setting, few courses offer this kind of integration with their surrounding natural environment.
