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.

Winter special

I think we all know the nickname for this course, but the price in the winter is Well worth it. I feel like every time I go back to this course the ownership/management is making an attempt to change something that is old and worn out. Overall a good experience. Conditions are classic winter conditions with some exceptionally hard parts of the fairway and greens but mostly on the edges on a few holes.

Sunridge golf

I have played Sunridge but not for a few years now. The course had suffered from lack of maintenance in the past. The new management has brought this place back to above average condition. I was very impressed by the greens & tees! The views from this course are awesome! It still has the crazy #15 with the 300' drop from the tee to fairway. (Don't hit too much club here, 180 yes club will do). Glad that I returned. We had a great time!

Greatly improved

We vacation South Lake Tahoe almost every year; however it’s been two years since we were here. The course has been greatly improved. Greens are excellent and there are no bare spots on the fairways. I’ve been playing here for almost twenty years and this time it’s the best condition ever. I’m here for another ten days and hope to play a couple more times.

Fun Course

Tried the course out for the first time. Followed a tournament. Was really slow for a men’s club. Greens were in great shape minus a few bare spots. Par 3 on the back has a green that isn’t less than desireable. Otherwise, great course.
