Golf in Tulelake

Tulelake is a small city in Siskiyou County in the Klamath Basin of northeastern California, near the Oregon border. The community sits in a flat, semi-arid basin at roughly 4,030 feet elevation, in an area where Tule Lake once covered the landscape before drainage and conversion to agricultural use. The surrounding landscape is now primarily agricultural, with irrigated grain and potato farming on the former lakebed soils. The Klamath Basin is an important stopover for migratory waterfowl on the Pacific Flyway, and the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a major resource in this part of the country. Tulelake provides basic services for the surrounding agricultural community. State Highway 139 connects the city to Yreka and the Interstate 5 corridor to the west. The area is remote and sparsely populated, characteristic of the northeastern corner of California near the Oregon state line.
