Golfer Reviews
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.
Best around Tahoe
I played the championship course par 72 & had a hot deal for $85 at 2:40pm and finished just under 4 hours after splitting away on the back 9 from the 3 some I was paired with. Course conditions were awesome compared to the drought we are in...green fairways and lush rough. Bunkers had nice real sand vs dirt! Greens were rolling nicely and pretty fast downhill towards the lake & would guess running around 11+...downhill away from the lake not as fast as well as uphill putts...play your break towards the lake even if it looks straight! I'm a 5 handicap & didn't score well on the front and shot 8 over with 1 birdie from the blues...ball carries further in the mountains & even the long par 3 's on the front I went OB long even clubbing down 1 club! I redeemed myself on the back 9 & was playing well all day just needed to adjust for the course...shot 2 under on back with 3 birdies for a 6 over 78. I loved the course it was beautiful through the woods with lake views here & there of Tahoe! Besides Edgewood golf course this course at Incline has to be the best in the area!
Love this course. Would definetely come back!
Good example of a Tahoe mountain course. Well maintaianed, excellent practice facilities, wonderful proshop. Hadn't played it for several years & enjoyed playing the "back" 9 first. We will definetely be coming back!
Great RTJ Sr. course in perfect conditions
We had bought a week at a timeshare in Incline Village at a charity auction and were looking for good golf nearby. WE really stumbled on the course on Golf Now. The rack rate is $169 but we paid $119 for a 1:20 tee time. The course was firm and fast. The bent grass greens are slowly being over taken by poa annua, but were in excellent, very fast shape. The dry pine forest rough -- pine straw they would say at August -- gave some hope of recovery from a bad tee shot which was exaggerated by fairly narrow landing areas for drives. But the real key to scoring was putting your approach below the hole. No complaint about the greens which were very true, but very fast, so don't even try for birdie from above. I'll go back next time we're in Tahoe.
One of the best
One of the best mountain courses in the United States. Just can't say enough good things about it. The layout, conditions, staff, scenery - everything about the entire experience was great. Only downside is the course is only open from June through September. But if you're anywhere close to it during those months, go play.
this course has many beautiful views
The course was in good shape very nice greens. Wasn't all that difficult just had to play good hit good shots.
Nice track
We had an email confirmation for a 2:40 tee time. Went to the tee and the Marshall told me I was wrong and that we weren't on the tee for 20 more minutes. A minor inconvenience, but being accused of lying wasn't cool. I showed him the email on my phone and I was told "well that means we are both right". Thought it was classless. He also told me the greens were fast. They were an 8 tops. Fun track. Pro shop guy was great. Outside service guys were top notch.
Great course
Great tough course. Good views, course in great conditions. All putts pull toward Lake Tahoe. Play one club less as the altitude was around 6700ft.
beautiful place to play
Played with a local and had a great round. Views were awsome. Greens were perfect.
Nice course, staff not coordinated
Before my wife and I teed off we were asked at least 6 times if we had a tee time by the marshalls on the first tee. This was after checking in at the pro shop, them acknowledging our Golf Now booking and tee time and full payment through the Golf Now website and getting loaded on our cart. The right and left hand were not coordinated. This got the round off to a very psour start for me.
Love this course
In a sound bite, if one doesn't love playing this course on a sunny day, then one should take up watching the news or some other depressing pastime! It simply has great entertainment value. Visually, it looks harder than it is. The fairways are inviting from the tee with clearly defined targets. The greens are nicely sized, and misses generally stay about where you miss them instead of bounding off into some netherland that costs a couple of strokes, if not a ball. And the views from several,of the holes are simply Lake Tahoe beautiful. If you are in the Lake Tahoe area, do yourself a favor and play this course.
First time on this course
An excellent course with beautifully contoured fairways and greens. Nice views of the mountains around Lake Tahoe on every hole, as well as the lake itself on a couple of holes. It's a very challenging, fairly long course with several creeks, ponds, bunkers and both left and right dog-legs. Intermediate to well experienced golfers will appreciate this course. If you score well, you've earned it. I don't know what the course rules are with regard to walking or using a cart, but I would rate it as a moderate degree of difficultly walkable course.
