In the winter, the resort is below the snow line, but above the Central Valley fog. In the spring and fall guests enjoy a picturesque landscape and idyllic temperatures.

With award winning holes and numerous accolades, Greenhorn Creeks is a must play. Guests of Greenhorn Creek can enjoy on-site accommodations, including the unique five-bedroom Caddy Shack plus the award-winning CAMPS Restaurant, Greenhorn Creek is the perfect locale for a golf getaway!
