Great course - slow play

Had a great round going on the front nine and it turned into a slow grind in the back. 19 people at 2 holes near the end with almost 1/2 the folks leaving before finishing their rounds. This is a great course just wish they could keep us moving along.

Painfully slow round

The marshals were non existent mid afternoon. 3 hour back 9 as we followed 3 groups of a bachelor party and they grouped up to 8some at 16. No marshal seen at all. Frustrated everyone.

Ash Wednesday

In the midst of a horrific fire season that saw huge amounts of ash and smoke invading the Tahoe Basin, golf was a nice departure. Beautiful course and the surrounding mountains were semi-visible which added to the serenity. The greens were dull of goose crap which made the day a little more difficult. All in all it was what I needed.

Very disappointed

Front nine was okay, but a six-some was in front of the group in front of us. it took two hours to play four holes on back nine. No marshal and staff did not seem to care. Very disappointed

Great course, good value

It's hard to top playing golf looking at the Tahoe mountains.

The hot dog was not good.

Fun and Challenging Course

Booked a Hot Deal through Golf Now and was well worth it. Within minutes of South Lake, so no need to travel far.. Friendly staff, straightforward front 9, but back 9 was definitely more challenging., requiring course management. Back 9 played a bit slower. Will return

Nice but slow paced

Really beautiful scenery surrounding the course. Really enjoyed the course except for the pace of play. People in front of us were very slow and we had two groups waiting and backed up behind them .Although we kindly communicated this to the staff they did nothing to move things along. We waited every hole for quite some time and yet the slow people in front of us had a wide open course in front. It was frustrating and more so that the staff really did not care
