Little River Inn Golf and Tennis Club

About Little River Inn Golf and Tennis Club

This intimate resort course sits dramatically along the rugged Mendocino Coast, where towering redwoods frame fairways that dance between rolling meadows and clifftop views of the Pacific. The routing takes full advantage of the spectacular natural amphitheater, with several holes playing directly toward the ocean and others winding through cathedral groves of ancient trees. What makes this track special isn't just the scenery, though watching waves crash against the bluffs while you're lining up approach shots never gets old. But how the layout seamlessly blends links-style coastal holes with parkland forest golf. The course punches well above its weight for a small resort operation, maintaining conditions that would make much larger facilities jealous. Walking is not only allowed but encouraged, and the moderate distances between greens and tees make for a pleasant stroll through some of California's most pristine coastline. While it may not have the pedigree of Pebble Beach or the challenge of Spyglass Hill, this hidden gem offers something increasingly rare: an unhurried round of golf in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable, without the crowds or astronomical green fees of its famous neighbors to the south.
