Markleeville Disc Golf Course (Terrapin Pines)

The Markleeville Disc Golf Course project, also known as Terrapin Pines, is slated for development on National Forest System lands managed by the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest’s Carson Ranger District, situated just east of Grover Hot Springs State Park in Alpine County, California. The initiative will transform existing forested areas and the Charity Valley Trailhead parking zone into a 27-hole disc golf course, featuring installed disc golf baskets, reinforced tee pads, benches, directional signage, a kiosk, a practice basket, a picnic and waiting area, limited trail enhancements, hazard tree removal, vegetation management, a vault toilet, waste receptacles, and minor upgrades to the parking lot. All improvements are designed to operate within the natural landscape with minimal environmental disruption. The project will be authorized through a 20-year Special Use Permit issued by the U.S. Forest Service, establishing long-term operational guidelines for the facility. Alpine County is the lead agency overseeing the project, with Samuel Booth, the Community Development Director and CEO, serving as the primary point of contact. The initiative is publicly forecasted with a posting date of July 6, 2026, and is located in the 96120 ZIP code area. No solicitation number or federal NAICS code has been assigned at this stage, indicating the project is still in planning and not yet open for bids. The effort reflects a local initiative to leverage public lands for recreational development while maintaining compliance with federal land use regulations.
