Mount Whitney Golf Course

About Mount Whitney Golf Course

You'll find one of California's most dramatically situated golf courses tucked into the Eastern Sierra at the base of Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States. The towering granite spires create a backdrop that makes every shot feel consequential, even when you're just trying to find the fairway on what appears to be a straightforward layout. The course sits at over 3,600 feet elevation, so expect your ball to carry farther than usual – a welcome bonus that might help offset the intimidation factor of playing golf in the shadow of 14,505-foot peaks. Don't expect pristine conditions or elaborate amenities here; this is mountain golf at its most unpretentious. The real draw is the setting and the opportunity to walk a full 18 holes while taking in views that rival any resort course in the country. With a 4.3 Google rating and the kind of intimate feel that comes from limited reviews, this feels like a local secret that happens to welcome visitors. It's the perfect stop if you're exploring the Eastern Sierra and want to squeeze in a round somewhere truly memorable.
