Championship at Incline Village Golf Resort
About
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.

Course Not For High Handicappers
Beautiful course. Great scenery, well worth playing. Fairways were in great condition, sand traps for the most part were in good condition and greens had just been sanded for the winter which made putting difficult, but this I knew going in, I came to play the course for the first time. Have to say the pace of play was slow due to no carts on fairways and we did have a group ahead of us that were extremely slow. The price to play normally is out of my range but I got a great deal on golfnow, the reason I went, glad I did. If you don't mind paying 3 figures this is a great course to play. I would love to play this course when conditions are better but unfortunately it is out of my range. Will wait for another good deal in the future. I do highly recommend this course though.
Super price due to winter prep time....
Beautiful course even though they were getting ready for winter. Greens and fairways were sanded but the view were amazing.
Staff was really outstanding and friendly.
Would have been nice to knwo "cart path only" before setting up tee time, altough they did have aan airation warning for the greens.
Mike Armstrong
The golf course was beautiful but the greens were being aerated and made it difficult to putt. The price was very good but the it was difficult keeping up with the pace of play because you could not drive the cart on the fairways.
Very service minded
We were really looking forward to playing this championship course. Unfortunately seven to ten other flights in one group had the same idea. After 4 hours having played 12 holes we gave up and headed for the caddiemaster. On hole 11 we waited for more than 20 minutes. We had already waited on every hole ten minutes on every hole. The three groups in front of us, the rest we could not see were having a lot of fun, with a lot of booze. Most of them could not play very well to put it mildly.
When returning to the clubhouse we talked to a marshall who had been sweared at by people from the group. He was nearly in tears. The caddiemaster was very much embarrassed by what had happened. After talking to his manager we were offered a free replay and tons of excuses. Today we did replay, we had a very good time with another very friendly couple. Within 4.15 hrs we were back at the clubhouse having enjoyed the beautiful course which was in very good shape with very fast greens.
We will return one day, but only if there not be such a big party of loudmouth and drunken players in front of us. Many thanks to the staff who were so much embarrassed, but did their utmost to apologize for the behavior of other players.
Wonderfull layout
This is mountain golf at its best, too bad it is ruined by concrete greens.
Fun time, Nice Course
We had a great time. It is a beautiful course that is very challenging especially for an average golf like me. The greens were the firmest I have played on, but it was fun to have the challenge. I would play again especially with the deal from GolfNow. The only 4 stars I gave it was for value. It is a little pricey for me, but it was vacation so I splurged.
Beautiful Course
This championship course was everything I'd expect. What I was not prepared for was how fast the greens were. So on par 3's choose club wisely because the ball rolls and rolls to back of green then off. Other than that- fairways excellent! Highly recommended!
Awesome course
Well maintained. Not an easy course- narrow. But so worth it!
Great Course!
I came to Tahoe to specifically play Edgewood because I had seen it in TV. Found out about Incline Village and boy am I glad I did. This place is extremely challenging and blows away Edgewood which I also played. Edgewood is an overpriced resort course. Wide open fairways and blah greens. The Championship course is tight with elevation changes and dog legs galore. Bring your big boy clubs. Only downside, no cart girl or water in the course. Yes we were the last tee time at 2:40 but this is inexcusable. Apparently this is the norm here. Very silly for such cheapness at such an upscale club. Also pace of play was very slow. This place is a must play in Tahoe. You can play here twice for the cost of Edgewood which is nothing special.
Waited 15 minutes at the 10th Tee and then the remaining time.
We felt they let additional golfers on the back 9-holes which delayed us badly.
Placement over power rules Incline Village
An old standard on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, this Robert Trent Jones Sr. layout is both fun and challenging. Lots of good holes and a few views of Lake Tahoe make it an above average experience. Only drawback is that the homes can be a little too close to comfort, which is why course management and accuracy are more important than hitting it long, though there are few holes where length has its advantages. One would be the par-5 13th, which is 622 yards from the back tees. Nice uphill par-4 finishing hole.
Incline Championship Course
My first impression of the facility AND the golf course was outstanding.The Pro Shop staff are friendly,helpful and courteous.True professionals.The golf course wants you to play well- as it should.The locale at Incline Village with Crystal Bay,the mountains and the trees of North Shore Lake Tahoe are ideally majestic.
great course and staff
Wonderful round of golf.
Better course than I have ever played on vacation.
Fairways were excellent, greens rolled true and staff was very helpful.
Great driving range to make it complete
Outstanding course!
Fun...gorgeous views.....challenging. This course is a "don't miss" for serious golfers in the Lake Tahoe area. It is in great shape, the staff members were outstanding and it was just a lot of fun. Whether playing on he back tees as I did or the forward tees as my wife did, the course is set up to challenge you yet provide a lot of excitement and just plain fun.
Great day in the mountains
First time playing this course. Took my dad for his birthday and we had a wonderful time. Challenging but fun course. Will definitely go back and play this course again.
Great fun!
We had a great time. Played in 4 hours. A lot of challanging shots. Punched greens bunot bad. We knew that going in. Would love to do it again next year!
Nice golf day
Great course marshals very friendly and helpful, very nice views of the lake
beautiful layout
course was in great shape, greens playing fast but fair, well maintained bunkers, rough, and fairways. will be a good challenge if you play from the right tee box. highly recommended.
Great course for all levels
Must play golf course if you are in the Reno Tahoe area. we just finished to play 18 at Dayton Valley in the morning, arrived little bit early to the course, club house staff very nice to let us go as the time we have arrived, after tee off. I know this is the one i should play for many many times, we have a wonderful golf trip from the bay area, golf course from tee box fair way to green,,, everything are so perfect to me, I will difinatly come back to play again.
