If you’re looking for a little swing in your Yosemite experience, check out the Wawona Golf Course, 9 or 18-hole (different tee positions provide an 18-hole format), 3000 yard course designed to blend into the surrounding meadows. The golf course doubles as a completely organic bird sanctuary, and that it’s located within what is perhaps the most beautiful National Park in the world definitely gives it extra points.

This golf course is beautiful—the surrounding massive trees, sweeping meadows and right across from the Wawona Hotel make it hard to focus on the game, but that comes with its benefits: any bad swings are easily forgotten.

The varied terrain and moderately challenging course make this a great course for all levels. Check out the golf shop for great food after your game, as well as rental clubs.
