About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6914 yards
Slope 137
Rating 72.5

Located justhalf-hour drive from both Lake Tahoe and Reno, Sunridge Golf Club features monster holes and mammoth lakes. The 669-yards par 5 11th - the longest hole in the scenic High Sierras region and then some - draws your attention as soon as you look at the scorecard. But the 26 acres of water on the golf course will probably provide more challenge and thrills.

There's also a hole with a 300-foot drop from the tee to the fairway (No. 14), a tiny par 3 19th bet-decider hole and a ton of driveable par 4s that almost beg for you to go for it. As a bonus, Sunridge Golf Club's green fees wow many vacationers used to Tahoe pricing.

If this course is more than 1 year old - I'm surprised

The conditions of the golf course, tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are that of a course that is going on its second year. Tee boxes are really rough, the fairways have not grown in and the greens are soaking wet all day. A few more years and it might grow in to a decent golf experience.

Good challenge

This course has definitely gave me a run for the money from the tips. Can’t wait to get a membership here. Best staff I’ve seen compared to other courses. People on the course are respectful and it’s usually smooth playing through ( not looking for a ball for 30 min ).

Very very enjoyed as always.

We live in Bay Area and enjoy golfing in Sunridge during our South Lake Tahoe stay. Extremely valuable course - well maintained, challenging, not expensive, great landscape and extra 19th hole and more.

More Bang For Your Buck

Average clubhouse, average putting and chipping greens, average driving range but then it becomes nothing but outstanding: staff, course conditions, layout, scenery, rates 10 of 18 holes are water-involved, very challenging from the blue or back tees. Glad I played with some locals who gave me good advice to help keep me out of trouble. This course is set between 4-5,000 feet in elevation so a round becomes a stamina workout for out of shape flat landers like me.

Tricky Back 9

Great course to play, especially on a weekday! Back 9 has a few holes where the elevation changes can trip you up, but they were memorable.

Special mention for the staff - Everybody in the clubhouse was awesome!

The Hidden Gem - Sunridge

We had a great start. The foursome in front of us let us play through, which allowed us to finish the round in under 4 hours. The course was so much fun with all the elevation changes. The lady that worked in the pro shop was an absolute delight and made us feel truly welcome. Overall, a great day on the course! And the beers were under $4.00!!!

What am I missing

You couldn’t play a corse like this in the Bay Area for less than two hundred dollars.

Every green was perfect was perfect... Coming from the Bay Area I was shocked how nice of a place it was.

Very Hilly

course was in great shape. Back nine was a bit challenging since he tee was elevated and lots of slope. Great scenery. Front nine had great pace but back nine was slow. There were individuals that sometimes were take 3 shots at same holes with the same bad outcome even when they saw us waiting on them. Rude players with not good etiquette. Overall great value and nice course.

Only issue was the greens were slow because of to much water. I understand though it is pretty warm currently.
