Sunridge Golf Club

Played here to avoid the crazy greens fees up the hill in Tahoe area. It's an easy drive down, especially from South Tahoe. Course is interesting, if a bit wacky. Starts off normal with desert-style holes through the sage brush with some water hazards, that are reasonably challenging and nicely laid out. Then it goes up and down an extremely steep hill that gives you many shots with extreme elevation changes, for better or worse. Pace of play on the back nine was silly-slow possibly based on these changes. It is what feels like a half-mile from one hole on the back nine to the top of the hill (I forget the number). There is a bonus 19th hole at the end. Because of the location it can be very hot, and often very windy, so check the weather. Conditions were good enough. I get the feeling they are fighting the extremes of weather to keep it in shape. An interesting course, but there are others in the area I'd play first. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

One of the best courses in the area. Challenging, with lakes, hills and elevation changes, easy greens, difficult greens, it’s got it all. Course layout is excellent.

Course layout is nice and fun. Driving range ball machine empty, sand traps half to 3/4 full of growing vegetation. Greens in good shape. Fairways in good shape. No beverage cart

Haven't played here for 3 years so noticed a marked improvement in course conditions. I enjoy playing this quirky layout when visiting the area.

Greens are in very good condition, roll slower than expected. Fairways just ok. Bunkers are terrible.

It is tought to get a full feel of a course the first time you play it. Usully the first time is jsut survival, the second time is, yeah I remember that and the third time is, Yeah, I got this. I really look forward to going back and playing here again.

Note: No way do you want to walk this course ... you would have to be a cross between a mountain goat and a Napalian Sherpa to attempt to walk the back 9.

We played with another local couple which was very helpful. The starter quietly moved people around to put us with a very nice couple. Big hills and greens you cant see from the t box. We learned a new term: aiming stick (we call them yardage markers). Aiming sticks were great to aim for when you could not see the green. Beautiful views and another thing I had not seen before a 19th hole that is not a bar. They have a play off hole. #19. Great time on the links!

Course was in fair condition at best. Bunkers with standing water. Fairways unkempt in parts.

Staff was very friendly, got us out on the course as soon as we arrived. Didn't have to get paired up with anyone else. Course was I great shape. Will for sure be back to play again!!

This course has three types of golf in a single round. Links style, traditional style, and mountain style. Great fun! Birdied the 19th 'playoff' hole.
