Got two golf courses now under snow. There is a 9-hole town course, but the big one can be checked out under "Sierra Star Golf Course", see
http://www.mammothmountain.com/around_mammoth/golf/What this website doesn't immediately tell you is that there are six or so bears living on the course, but they are nice bears.
I don't play golf (do ski as an aging competent), but have a friend who works on the course who could be of $ help.
In the summer you can also fish in a dozen stocked lakes, and hike as far as your enthusiasm takes you (catch the John Muir and Pacific Crest trails close by).
