There is a place at the edge of the wilderness, where the last traces of man's ambition dissolve into the patient silence of the trees. It is called The McCloud Golf Club, and though it is humble, nine holes carved gently into the forest, it holds, in its simplicity, the profound weight of introspection. The air, thin and fragrant with pine, seems to cleanse the soul as one exhales before the first swing. Here, you do not play against the course. You walk it, as one walks through a dream or a memory. The fairways, shrouded in fir and cedar, do not demand precision. They invite surrender. Surrender to the land, to the wind, to your own limitations. A slice into the woods is not failure. It is a reminder that control is illusion, and that even the most deliberate swing may be undone by an unseen gust or a rock beneath the grass. And yet, there is joy. Not the garish joy of victory, but something quieter. Deeper. The joy of solitude, of hearing only your footsteps and the distant rustle of branches. The joy of a good shot struck not for glory, but for the sheer pleasure of motion. The joy of standing on a small green and realizing, suddenly, that you have not thought of your phone, your obligations, or the weight of time for over an hour. Mount Shasta rises in the distance, not a backdrop, but a presence. It does not judge you. It has seen everything. Your missed putts and triple bogies, mere whispers in her ancient ear. McCloud is not a destination. It is a pause. A place where you might remember something you did not know you had forgotten: that existence, when stripped of noise and urgency, can be enough. Five stars. Not because it is flawless. But because, for a brief moment, this golf course allows you to be.

I really enjoyed playing here. It's a pretty course in a great location. It has some interesting features and seems like a nice place to enjoy some low-key golf. Friendly, helpful staff. Can't beat it for the price.

Absolutely amazing! Pristine and nestled amidst stunning scenery!

I will give 5 stars, not because it is a 5 star golf course, like Running Y in Klamath Falls, but because for what you get for just 15$. Its a fun playing course full of surprises (8th tee shot from blue) and tiny greens. Overall in pretty good conditions and way better than my terrible experience playing the 9 hole scottish golf course at lake Shastina. And on top the view on Mt Shasta from this angle is very beautiful. I play Mc Cloud once more tomorrow. Please keep in mind that you need some cash playing Monday and Tuesday and put it in the box.

Nice golf course. It was extremely bumpy on the golf cart. Price was good. They have a cafe that closes at 2. Nice Bathrooms indoors. There was one outdoors.
