Snowcreek Resort Golf Course opened in 1991 as Mammoth's first and finest golf course. Ted Robinson of Laguna Niguel, CA who has designed over 140 courses worldwide and is one of America's most imaginative and innovative golf course architects, designed Snowcreek Resort Golf Course.

The course is located in Old Mammoth, nestled between the Sherwin Mountain Range and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. You can only imagine the beautiful 360-degree vistas enjoyed from every hole on our course. Snowcreek is a public resort nine-hole golf course, par 35, which plays 3,306 yards from the back trees. This alpine beauty features some of the fastest and truest bent greens that the Eastern Sierra has to offer. A series of streams and water hazards on seven of the nine holes and well-bunkered greens make playing at an elevation of 8,000 feet quite a scoring challenge.
