It’s a sure sign of spring! The Diamond Mountain golf course is open for the season.

All 18 holes at the course look great and along with the driving range are ready for play.

Formerly known as Emerson Lake Golf Course, this course was renamed, redesigned and expanded to a full 18-holes several years ago.

Nestled at the base of Diamond Mountain this course offers something for everyone, with its long straight fairways, simple doglegs, numerous pine trees and fast greens.


The tight layout has a defined cut of rough bordering its fairways, so shot accuracy is at a premium, and sand bunkers have been included in the design of every hole.

The course personnel take great pride in the course's large, sloped greens, which are fast but are soft in texture, so they should hold your shots.

The restaurant at the clubhouse isn’t open quite yet, but will be in a few weeks.  If you are considering holding an event at the course this summer make sure you get on the calendar early.

Current hours of operation are 9am to 6pm and for tee times you can call the clubhouse at 530.257.2520.

The Diamond Mountain Golf course is located at 470-895 Circle Drive.  Click here for a Google map to the club.

A Grand Enterprise
The Lake Tunnel to be Pushed Through
April 3rd, 1884

The Lassen county papers report that Captain Merrell of that county who has been in San Francisco for some time past, has succeeded in organizing an incorporated company with a capital stock of $300,000 and known as the Lassen County Land and Water Company.

It is hoped that this will prove true, for the object to be accomplished by such a company is one of the grandest enterprises which offers on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevadas.

The object being to tunnel the east and west range of mountains at a point near Merrellville and tap Eagle Lake for the purpose of bringing its waters into Willow Creek and Honey Lake valley, thence along the foothills for 60 miles, opening up a fertile region of 50 miles in width and 60 miles long, all susceptible of irrigation and cultivation, from thence the same waters can be conducted around the foothills to cover Buffalo desert and on to Pyramid.

The altitude of Eagle Lake makes its waters available for irrigating a vast region of contiguous country lying south and east which can be utilized in no other way than by tapping those waters.
