Gorgeous setting. Course is surrounded by snow covered mountains. Nice layout, nice course, but terribly slow play. Over 4.5 hours on a weekday. clubhouse says fall can sometimes be that way when the nearby mountain courses close for the season. Will try again... take a camera !

A great place to play if you are traveling through the area. What you see from Hwy 395 is NOT all that you get. Pretty views, an interesting course and very playable. Good bargain too.

I am a member at Bishop CC and you can't really get the picture of the course by the drive by from the hwy. Got to get out there and see. It's really quite pretty, has some challenges, and is a very playable coures for all levels. It's a good place to play if you camp in the campground that's right next door. Browns Town. Come enjoy our High Sierras.

Played the course while RVing through the area, staying in the adjacent RV park. Fun course to play, with the snow-capped High Sierras providing a really beautiful backdrop. Was fortunate enough to play with a nearby resident, who imparted helpful local knowledge. Only downer was 25 mph wind that blew through all 18 holes.

A very fun course with fairly wide fairways on the front nine.
