Apple Mountain Golf Resort

Tremendous golf course that is groomed to perfection. You can get lost in the scenery and watching the wildlife when trying to figure out which club and target to pick. This is a gem hidden in the ponderosa pines heading to Lake Tahoe. You won’t be disappointed; but, gauge your skill because taking that high risk shot with low probability of making it will leave you blaming the course instead of your course management skills. Great practice areas and a really friendly staff. Mind the cheat sheet the starter offers you. It’s a good guide. Definitely will return.

Even though the greens had just been aerated, the course was in terrific shape. Fairways were green and lush, traps were in great shape, and the greens, despite being punched, were still good enough that it didn't ruin the round. I just love the lay-out of this course. It will literally make you hit every club in your bag. And don't let the yardage fool you. It may not be the longest course that you play, but if you're not accurate, it will be one of the toughest. I will go back and play Apple Mountain any time!

Very beautiful course, but plan on losing a bunch of balls if you can’t hit the fairways! There are trees, thick rough and water obstacles throughout.

Greens are sanded right now, but should be in good shape soon. The rest of the course was in great shape. Always a fun course to play!!! Great value for the money!

I did not read the fine print. Back nine closed. Front nine recently plugged greens and sanded. If I realized this, I would have played somewhere else.

The lady who checked us in could have been nicer.

The course is challenging with trees on either side of the narrow fairways. The changes in elevation make it somewhat difficult for club selection, but he greens are great. We played a four person scramble which made for great golf and a much less frustrating round.

Well managed course and a conscientious pairing of the players made the pace of the play great. Finished the whole course under 4 hours with a lower score than usual. The pro shop staff was very friendly and courteous and , showed a player- centered professionalism. It’s a rare occasion to see these days, especially among many unprofessional golf shop staff. The fairways are well maintained and the sand bunkers were filled with fresh sand. The presence of the wild turkeys made course reminded us of the days when we were playing in Georgia and Carolinas some 30 years ago. Thanks again for your concerns to make the players happy again after the snow letdown a couple of months ago.

Played here a few times and it’s a very fun and challenging course. It’s in great shape and is a great value. I always play on my way into Tahoe

Fun and beautiful mountain course that feels like you're really in the woods. Tough course, bring extra balls!

Awesome snow on several fairways on Feb 1. Back 9 par 4 green closed due to snow. Elevated tees with narrow fairways command straight shoes.

That was a first. Snow on a golf course. Hard to believe they could get the course into as good as condition and to play as well as it did. First time I have hit a green (4' from the pin and couldn't find golf ball. Divot tool wouldn't even penetrate green. (frozen). Had a blast, would do it again in a heart beat..

Five holes shortened or altered due to snow spots, taking away the fun of playing golf here. I should have called ahead to find out about the course conditions but trusted the course staff and quite disappointed. The price was low unusually so I should have called the pro shop and I wasn’t the only one. Our playing twosome was not aware of the course conditions and were disappointed as well. The greens were still good and playable but the fairways were very much limited. They could have done better if they had just closed the course for a day or two and put out a notice for closing the course due to snow. It would have been a better business practice.

Absolutely on of the most beautiful places that I have ever played. Snow was on the course so they shortened a few holes to par 3s. All in all a great place to spend 4 hours.

As always the course is beautiful. This time the pin placement was very difficult and the greens ran fast, at least a 10. Chipping was hard, so GR.

It’s just like a beautiful fall weather with blue sky, a few white cloud patches floating, colorful falling leaves, chirping birds and running squirrels. Just beautiful scenery alone was worth of driving up some 56 miles to this mountain golf course. Reminded me of playing in the mountain courses in Georgia and Carolinas some 20 years ago. I didn’t get a good score and a single birdie because the greens were quite challenging with undulating surface with fast slope. The bunkers needed some raking and some areas of the fairways needed maintenance. The pro shop staff was very friendly and courteous. The course is quickly coming back to those good days for golfing of pre-Covid-19’s.
