Beau Pre Golf Club is located in Northern California’s beautiful Humboldt County. The Pacific coastline provides a spectacular landscape for this challenging 18 hole championship golf course. Pine and spruce trees line most of the fairways on both the mountainous and meadow portions of this course requiring precision placement shots. Water comes into play on nine holes and sand traps are strategically placed. The view of the ponds, lush fairways and the Pacific Ocean from the elevated golf holes make Beau Pre an esthetically pleasing course to play in addition to testing your golf skills.
