Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Everline Resort & Spa is a delight not only for its great golf, but for its history and scenic qualities, as well. In fact, the Audubon Society has certified the Everline Resort & Spa as a Cooperative Sanctuary due to its commitment toward natural greens-keeping methods.

Nestled in a scenic valley with protected wetlands, the Everline Resort & Spa gives golfers an outstanding day on the links, combining challenging play with awe-inspiring scenery. Forced carries and tight fairways put accuracy at a premium at this course, which holds a mind-boggling slope rating of 146 from the back tees.

For golf travelers looking to make Squaw Valley their home base, the golf action will not disappoint, and the resort has four outstanding restaurants, as well as all the amenities any golf traveler should expect from this legendary golf destination that was a host to the 1960 Summer Olympics.

Golfer beware

Great course layout, but not very well maintained. The greens are ragged at best. Bumpy and slow. Most if not all the sand traps appear to have not been raked once this entire season. What the heck Squaw Creek? Get it together Also found several planks on the wooden bridges geenside to be dangerously weak and loose. A serious accident waiting to happen.

I generally play this course several time a year, but its not happening this year. Not wirth the drive and the ridiculous green fees for such a poorly maintained course!

You should have paid me to play this course!

Greens horrible shape, fairways dry and sprinklers running on numerous holes. Fairways so hard and dry couldn’t keep the ball on the fairway. Most tee boxes dry weeds.

Horrible experience!!

Play someplace else

The “ice damage” to the greens and the course conditions are embarrassing. The course is challenging to begin with but general maintenance and conditions were terrible. We were fortunate that was not a factor in the day.

Golfer beware

I would typically recommend playing this course. Great layout and a beautiful course overall. But what this site failed to mention, was that the greens are in terrible shape. Sanded, bumpy and very patchy! The late snow damaged them to unplayable shape. What's worse, the course still wants top dollar to play it. In my experience in playing mountain courses, they are at least a month away..... Save your money!

Spectacular

I’m writing this because the negative reviews here almost scared me away from coming to this course, which would have robbed me of an unforgettable, awesome time playing it. It’s true that the greens were bumpy, but that’s because the grass takes time to grow back after the snowy season ends. So I’m sure these will be much smoother in the late summer/early fall.

Given the dreadful reviews here, I was pleasantly surprised at the imperfect, but totally playable condition of the tee boxes and fairways. The course is built into the mountain sides and natural wetlands, giving it a really authentic feel. Personally, I would argue that this is how golf was meant to be played, sans a reliance on heavily manicured, human-created landscapes. Overall, I felt like I was hanging out in Yosemite and I got to bring my golf clubs too!

And by the way, I did not find the course conditions to take away at all from how true my score felt at the end of each hole. The course is a great, fun challenge as is. In the wetlands area, just stay out of the thick grass beyond the fairway - it will eat your golf ball.

Course in only fair conditions due to winter weather problems

Course in fair shape due to winter weather problems, many sandy areas on tee boxes, greens, & fairways.

Lumpy conditions on greens should have 2 stroke putting limit.

Course conditions better than easier Northstar Resort which I play a few days ago (only front 9 open). Northstar probably should not have open this season due to their continuing problems with poor grass conditions.

No the business

Staff and mountain surrounds are great. Not busy and pace of play was great but the course condition was terrible. Fairway either overgrown and unkempt or overwatered and soggy. Greens are fuzzy where grass is present or have more sand than grass. It looks like they are letting the course go to build houses on it the next year. It’s a great background with a terrible course. Not worth the discounted $85 but maybe if they posted a $40-50 round you could justify the beautiful surroundings.

Squaw 6/2021

We left after 9 holes due to slow play and poor course conditions. I understand it’s been a difficult year and I am willing to be understanding of the course conditions. However, the pace of play was absolutely intolerable. The staff gave us some of our money back, but we were very disappointed with our overall experience.

Opening day

It was opening day, the course was a little rough due to the recent weather and damage to the course from the winter. Very difficult course, makes a par feel like a birdie on many of the holes. Majestic grandeur of the mountains is breathtaking. Really looking forward to playing once the repairs and maintenance has been done. So much potential!

Still underrated

This was my second time playing here, and my first was about a month ago. I had originally come to play with low expectations since so many reviews were negative. I was very happy to find that the course was much better than the reviews would lead you to believe. This time playing here was even better than the first time. I will concede that some tee boxes were a little rough, and some fairways were slightly patchy, but otherwise, the course was in great condition. I had a twilight time as a single, and blew through the course in 3 hours, even waiting on a few groups on a number of holes. I highly recommend this course, although be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag except your driver. Fairways are tight, and the links style really kicks your butt if you don't humble yourself. You have to lay up and be smart rather than hit long, and that makes for an interesting round. The setting in Olympic Valley at the foot of Squaw's ski peaks really makes for a beautiful backdrop.

Much better

Has played here the day after the course opened back in May and it was in terrible shape. Fast forward to October and the greens are smooth, firm, and fast just the way I like it. Fairways and rough were good. Tee boxes could use some love but overall not to bad. I think covid really set them behind the 8 ball for summer but right now it's in great shape. Not much time before they close for winter so come on out while you can.

Meadow Target Golf

Target golf, need to be accurate off the tee and alot of carry type shots. If you are not accurate you will get punished. Staff was courteous and parking was validated. I would play here again.

Worth Playing

First time playing this course, glad I did. The course was in great shape except the sand traps, that is par for the course ( no pun intended). This course doesn’t require you to hit mammoth drives, just hit it straight and keep it on the fairways. There are a few forced carries, over water and protected areas, keeps you on your toes. I hit some great shots but didn’t score well, putting did me in. The pin placements were tough and the greens were fast, but were fair. I also might mention the scenery, beautiful, bring your camera. One more thing to mention, the 17th is a shorter par 4 due to some construction,. They didn’t mention this in their Webb site, not a big deal, just something to be aware of. A little course knowledge goes a long way next time around.
