The Dragon at Nakoma Golf Resort
publicThe Dragon at Nakoma Golf Resort in Clio is one of California's most architecturally audacious golf courses — a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design by Robin Nelson situated in the high Sierra Nevada near the Feather River Canyon. The course opened in 2004 and was developed in conjunction with the Nakoma resort lodge, which was designed based on Frank Lloyd Wright's original plans for a resort that was never built during his lifetime. The Dragon earns its name from the course's serpentine routing through dense pine forest, granite outcroppings, and mountain meadows at nearly 5,500 feet elevation. Several holes border dramatic dropoffs and canyon edges, with the mountain air and Sierra scenery creating a genuinely awe-inspiring golf environment. It's a bucket-list California mountain golf experience for players who appreciate dramatic design and spectacular natural settings.
