The Championship Course at Incline Village will challenge golfers of all levels, and leave even scratch golfers breathless with a slope rating that tops 140. Combining amazing scenery with demanding golf action, the Championship Course is high on the list of traveling golfers looking for the best from their High Sierra golf package.

Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the course received a facelift in 2003, courtesy of golf course architect Kyle Phillips. The nearly $5 million renovation reinvigorated the course, which demands accuracy, as well as giving players risk-reward opportunities over trees and bunkers.

With two golf courses - the Championship and Mountain courses - Incline Village offers something for all level of golfer, and offers outstanding service and conditioning, as well as top-notch practice facilities, making it a highlight for a High Sierra golf vacation.

Beautiful

Tough course but a vacation round with my spouse so I played the white tees. Love the course and surroundings. Totally prefer this to any links courses. Amazing how it's built on the side of a mountain yet has fairly even landing areas on every facet of the course. A must play. if near Lake Tahoe.

Jim to Save the Day!

We initially did not include this course due to reviews regarding members. After hearing from multiple Tahoe locals, we decided to make it the last course of our 3 day golfing trip. I had one of the worst experiences in my 29 years of golfing with a member of the course. If it wasn’t for one of the friendliest and best staff members, Jim the marshal, taking great care of the situation, this would have not been a good review. We played 3 amazing courses on our trip from Dallas; Edgewood, Old Greenwood, and Incline Village. Although I loved all three course, Incline Village was my favorite of three for the money. I think it’s a must play! Thanks again Jim, you made the last day of our trip very a very enjoyable one.

Hadnt played here since early 90s

A friend of ours had a condo on the land side of lake shore drive near the Hyatt and we used to play the mountain exec with my dad who wasnt much of a golfer. For an exec it was awesome. But for us who could handle the championship course, it was awesome. But our friend sold in the mid 90s and i hadnt played it since the renovation in the early 2000’s . Was up from our cabin down near bridgeport on a golf trip north. Played some other of our favorites north of truckee and saved the best weather day for last at this course. First thing i noticed was the swapping of the 9’s which i like better and the course was in absolute perfect shape. The pace was a little slow at first but they had a marshall out and it picked up pretty quickly. Of course my nemesis hole is still out there just got a different number on it now, it used to be 16, the picture hole with the awesome view of tahoe. If i remember right its 7 now. I think its the view that takes out my concentration.

Like being in a Painting

Tremendous experience from beginning to end. Super friendly staff and head pro were welcoming and fun. Course was in incredible condition and while it had several risk/reward challenging holes it made for a great afternoon and unforgettable sunset! Greens ran pure and I played alongside a member who was friendly and super knowledgeable about the track. If you only play one course in the Tahoe area THIS is the one. Great time!!

Good Course, Poor Management

Fun scenic course in very good shape. Terrible management. They try to nickel and dime you at every opportunity. $250/235 green fee but have to pay for range balls and hit off a mat. I was reminded several times that if I wanted my own cart it was $35 extra. Terrible pace, just under 5 hours, waiting on every shot. No staff at bag drop, cart kids pretend to clean clubs post round. With a new group running things it could be great, right now it is not worth it.

Great Course but over priced for non residents

It’s a great course but there are members and residents (FYI I’m a time share owner but don’t get any discount). I wanted to play full round and not a partial twilight round which is much less. I don’t feel all of the staff realize some golfers pay $200 mor for a tee time than others. I tried to get my golf club re-gripped the day before and Connor said it takes 2-3 days I told him I just paid $255 for a tee time is there anyway you can ask to see if it can be done and he said sorry we have a tournament and we are concentrated on taking care of them. Then when I checked in the next day the people working the front were not robotic like Connor and said if someone had asked him he would have re-gripped it for me. He offered to do it then but it was too late. Then during play we played our first 9 in just over two hours. I am very sensitive to pace of play and always look at the group behind. My playing partner was a better golfer but played from other tees and he is 86 and took som breaks and took his time. I do take multiple practice swings but I also pickup my ball if my hole isn’t going so well, and I hurry and I run from my cart to make sure things are moving. We did play an hour slower on the last 9. We got approached by the ranger on the 17th hole, and I got lectured by the ranger on my play and how I take too many practice swings. I was having a bad golf day but I still wanted to enjoy my $255 round. My playing partner who was a member had encouraged me not to rush and enjoy myself.The ranger could have alerted us a little sooner too. The group behind us had caught up to us on a couple holes but waited no longer than 3 minutes. I would tell my playing partner every time they caught up to us. I just didn’t like being yelled at by this guy when I was trying to speed my partner up and I knew we slowed things up a little. I felt my experience was dampered a little I feel like a second class citizen there compared to the residents and members when I pay so much more for the day. I like the course a lot but the employees seem to really only care about the regulars. They should just make the course private and not allow the public because they don’t treat outsiders the same. I’m sure the regulars complain about the public as well. I just didn’t like that I was trying to keep things faster and then I get yelled at the end of the round after playing my worst in a long time and paying $200 more than everyone around me. I do understand the role of the ranger to keep things faster, but he could have done it much sooner and with more tact. I did listen to him and I didn’t take anymore practice swings. I just wish the staff that playing a round there for that much $ is a special treat and maybe they play only once year and want to enjoy a nice golf course on vacation.

Great condition and firm & fast greens

Fun course to play. Lots of dogleg holes so be sure to figure out where to hit the ball. Greens were firm and fast and I feel like it would take more than a few rounds to figure out the breaks.
