The Links at Everline

Greens fair at best. Conditions a little rough yet.

Great mountain course. Most play is in the valley. Fairways were good, greens ok but recovering. Choice of clubs and targets are important. Rough is tough and create lots of motivation to stay in the fairway.

I've played this course many times and have always been satisfied. I find in unacceptable that I was not notified of the poor condition of the greens. There were aerated divets in every green making it impossible to have a normal putting experience. We asked for a refund/partial refund and John the pro refused. We stopped after 10 holes.

Love playing this course. Views of the mountains breathtaking. Course is tight and narrow. Very interesting but you will lose balls. I will put my driver away most holes next time. And there will be a next time.

Tough course but good layout. The surroundings in Squaw Valley are awesome. Course wasn't in great condition. I'd only recommendat playing this course in late summer or fall once the grass has grown in.

First of all the service, amenities, and location are all first rate. After 3 holes (and no lost balls) we were saying "we'll have to come stay at the resort sometime and golf a few days". By the time we were starting the back nine though we were second guessing those remarks. It's definitely links style and target golf but the surrounding natural grass just eats up any ball that strays from the fairway and narrow 1st cut. We're both intermediate recreational golfers (I'm a 22 handicap) but my wife and I each lost about a dozen balls. If you can't hit consistently straight and are used to wide forgiving fairways this is not a course for you. We did get a "Hot Deal" for $40 each otherwise I would have been hugely disappointed. Will need to improve my game before returning again.

But for Golf Now, pricing at this course was ridiculously high.Maintenance substandard;greens diseased.Some tees consist of bare terra firma.While mountain holes are scenic,"swamp" best describes the others.If you hit the fairways,then good for you.If not- the rough is unfair-thick,high swampgrass. Pray that you brought a dozen balls or more.That said,staff was first class.Surroundings scenic.Expected much,much more from a course at a 5 star resort.Just sayin...Don't pay retail...

Greens were slow and rough and not typical of a "resort" course. Yardage markers were few and far between. Was ok paying the lower "hot deal" price - but would not pay full price.

If you care about your score, play with someone who knows the course as there's a few surprises. Course starts as a mountain course (5 holes) and ends in the valley marshy links with target golf. It was Windy in afternoon, adding to the fun. It's mostly Marsh so if it's not Windy, I suspect you'll need deet or similar.

First time playing this course. After reading the reviews, I was a little concerned about losing a bunch of golf balls. I listened to the golf shop guy and played the vast majority of my drives to 200-220 yard range. Mostly kept it is in ball and lost two balls. Enjoyed the course. Lots of great views from the course. Had a real good time.

The staff was great. The area is beautiful . That said, the fairways are very narrow with lots of thick swamp grass to clear so make sure you have plenty of extra balls in your bag. But it was an interesting and fun course I would play again.

Layouts of holes unfair and very problematic.

Tee boxes old school. Carries way too far and not fun. Losing a dozen balls ridiculous. My worst round in 5 years.

Not for the every day woman golfer. To much carry. Not good condition for where it is. The most positive is the beautiful setting.

Course in great shape. Would have loved to have had more holes on the mountain, but guess they used all the land up there they could. The valley holes were extremely difficult with long grass and blind landings. Could have used a forecaddie. If you didn't keep it in the fairways, your ball was lost more times than not. Enough water to keep it interesting. Beautiful scenery looking at the ski area and chair lifts. Would probably play it better the second time as would know the layout and where to hit. Would play again if in the area.

I am a 12 handicap who consistently shoots in the high 70's. Unless you are deadly accurate (and long) with long irons and fairway woods this course is not for you. The fairways are narrow and long with OB on both sides on most holes. Granite just off fairways creates some wild bounces, often into areas you need a chainsaw and machete to find your ball. Rarely do I lose more than one ball a round. I stopped counting after 7 and that was on the front nine. Three of those hit the green on approach, rolled off the back, and disappeared into the swamp that surrounds most of the course. I often play with my wife who is not long, but hits the ball dead straight. She only lost 8 balls for the round which, to me, was a great accomplishment. On the upside the pace was great. We tee'd it up at 1 PM and there were no other golfers in sight (I wonder why?). Beautiful views of the mountain and ski slopes. The stream running through the course was lovely.

P.S. Large areas of cart path are wood, over the aforementioned swampland. Bring your power tools, or hip waiters, as multiple boards are loose and the cart could disappear at any time. Have fun! After taking this abuse twice, we won't be back. Twice because I really didn't believe this course could be so cruel. And at my age my memory is no longer reliable.

I played this course on a cloudy and windy day with 25 mph wind. Strong wind and a difficult layout make it very challenging to play. Even so, I enjoyed the course. The fairways and green are well-kept. The course is long, hilly, and is not suitable for walking golfers. It offers fantastic view of wild flower and mountain scenery. You need to bring a lot of golf balls as many fairways are narrow, and the roughs are thick, especially if you are not used to link golf.

The fee may be a little high, but playing it is a worthwhile experience.

You need to be a golfer who can always land in the middle of the fairway. If not all you are doing is looking for your balls which is impossible to find.

The course is pretty though but I will not play it again.

I find this course to be fun but with the poor greens and spotty fairways, it looses a lot. On a chip shot to the green, you will get bounces in all directions. I understand it has a lot of winter snow though. Will come back later this summer and see if the greens have improved.

Course plays fairly short and very tight. Narrow landing areas and skinny fairways. Nice greens, good and fast.
