Championship at Incline Village Golf Resort

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.

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.

I highly recommend this wonderful course! The tee boxes, fairways and greens were excellent. The greens were fast and true just the way I like them. Staff was very friendly and considerate. Cheers!!

Fun playing this course with somewhat narrow fairways and elevation changes. Will play again.

The course is decent. However there are an insane amount of crickets on the course. One of my chip was deflected way off line by a fliying cricket, and several of my putts were affected by them.

It's also hard to focus on the tee boxes when there are imminent crickets launching ever several seconds

Played 6-14-24 and the course condition was excellent. Pace of play was okay. Staff friendliness was okay. Weather was great! Greens were extremely fast but rolled true.

I have wanted to play this course for 35 years. All my golfing buddies have played it, all said it was a beautiful course. They also all said it was over priced I agree with them. It's a beautiful course, and typical of Tahoe, Truckee courses, gorgeous well kept and expensive. The course was in good shape and only getting better. I got it for a very good price and I am very happy I played.

Great time. I got paired up with two gents who played same tees as me. We choose the split tiese option on score card for a 6300 yardage. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were great, rough was fair....GPS golf carts is always a plus....really enjoyed the layout. I found a golfnow hot rate discount..... All good..would play again...

Get a grip somewhere else if you are a single! I play a course that has been hosting REAL Championships for decades and single can make advance tee times as a single golfer. But not this uppity course that has never hosted a REAL Championship. Over priced and hideous customer service for golfers who don't come in large or small groups. If you vacation in the region and want to play as a single golfer, I suggest the Carson Valley courses for values and South Lake Tahoe course for convenience if you stay in the southern portions of the lake. Just blow this place off....there is far better to be found with far more golfer friendly tee time terms and costs. Crimminy, Lakewood even permits advanced tee time for singles and has even more beautiful vistas than these pompus Incline courses!

Very well maintained, and very friendly staff.

Golf pass Hotdeal was worth the value.

Played 10 courses over 6 days in the area and this was my 9th favorite course out of 10. Had heard such great things but it wasn't spectacular at all. No real lake views. No incredible holes. Nothing visually appealing. Was in Good shape and I have no major complaints which is why it still gets 4 stars... I was just expecting more out of it.

Great layout with some great views.

Friendly staff. Great food!

We played in an on and off rain but the course handled it very well. Good cart, smooth with GPS to pin which is always a plus. Excellent bunker conditions In and all around. They are also well placed as would be expected of Robert Trent Jones Sr! I assure you that you almost certainly find yourself in at least one! Excellent, well-manicured greens that rolled fast and true even when wet. Nice tee boxes and some very gnarly and penal deep rough here and there where you would expect it.

So the course itself... (the most important part) is overall a winner and I would definitely recommend it.... but at the price, I would expect just a touch better golf club experience overall off and around the course. such as there was no cart service today. The attendant was sick, sadly, and apparently there wasn't a soul that could serve instead. It's not a huge problem, just an unfortunate circumstance that would be better if it wasn't.

Bathrooms, which can be a notable part of any golf course experience, were average.... at best...definitely not a top level Golf Club experience.

This leads to the driving range situation. It's not good at all. Actually it's just bad. Mats only happens at places but this appears to be mats only always. Balls are in bad to awful shape. Top it off with not really bing able to tee up a driver. First, there is no way to set a tee. Secondly, the range maxes out at just over 200 yards! I was charged extra for the balls but honestly, this range should be included free of additional charge. Yes, it's that bad and I would definitely not use that "amenity" again.

All things considered, since GolfPass doesn't provide the ability to submit partial stars I've reached a point where I have to reserve the "5" for courses that excel in all areas at a relative price point. So here I had to knock it down to 4 when it could have been a solid 4.5 otherwise.

Still definitely recommended and I hope to play it again one day.

The course was challenging and beautiful. The staff was great from the pro-shop, carts and starter. It is a top course to play.

The course is in pretty good condition. The layout was great and very pretty with a big trees. We teed off at 4 o’clock and made the turn at 6 pm but all the bathrooms were locked at the clubhouse. That would have been ok if the course bathroom on back nine was open, it was not. So if you’re a female teeing off later in the afternoon, beware.
