If there is golf in Heaven....

If there is golf in Heaven, and I pray there is, this would be the setting I would imagine! Breathless is the only way I can describe the views and the ambiance of the setting. Plus, the layout is varied, (the back nine greens are definitely more of a challenge), and every hole presents a different sight line or strategic approach. Great place to enjoy our game!

Got stung by yellowjackets otherwise nice round

There was a yellowjacket nest in the left greenside bunker of the 15th hole. I find it hard to believe I was the first one to notice this as it was a well-developed nest, but c'est la vie.

Course is not long, but challenging because the fairways are narrow with the rough encroaching (i.e., narrow landing areas) much more than you perceive at the tee box. I hit numerous straight drives with irons off the tee to be safe only to find I was in the rough where it curved into the middle of the hole.

My iOS GPS golf app wasn't a huge help in determining where the shortgrass was. The 17th green was in bad shape otherwise the greens were in decent condition. I felt the putting green was faster than the actual greens.

This is a decent course but bit overpriced. Staff was friendly. Would've been nice if they had some water on the course or somewhere we can fill up a water bottle even if it was on like the third hole ior the 12 hole. Great scenery

Very Slow Play

The day was booked with large Numbers of foursomes. It was a very slow play with little to no notice by staff prior to accepting fees. I did not see an attempt from any martial or core staff to help move the pace along.

A terrible afternoon to play.

A muni with great views in South Lake Tahoe

What a pleasant surprise and great contrast for the pricey lake views of Edgewood Tahoe. For a third of the price of Edgewood Tahoe, golfers playing this muni might run into some slow play and some rough-around-the-edges conditions, but the views and variety of the holes are special.

This spring, at least three fairways are struggling after the long, hard winter. Just take a free drop and move on to enjoy the course. The stretch of holes from nos. 15-17 uses the raging river and water hazards to perfection. For the price, this is the best bargain in the region.

Fast it ain't.

Stacked. Jammed. 2 deep every tee. On a Tuesday.

Almost tuned up a dips*#t for hitting into us TWICE.

His patience level shorter than his drive

Long afternoon

The front nine went fairly quick but on the back the starter let a group of six break in front of us when we stopped to use the facilities and get something to drink. The group had stopped and ate their lunch and then resumed play. They played as a six some even though the course marshal came by and told them to split up twice. The back nine took over 3 hours to play. The course is wet from the winter snow and runoff but is still an enjoyable and challenging course.

Bang for your buck

First of all, this course has great view of the mountains. Better views than in colorado. At this time of the year it's still kind of wet so we had to shoot off the fairway on 5 holes. Fair amount of hazards on the course. Would definitely recommend to anyone who goes to lake Tahoe to golf.

A Tahoe Must

Lake Tahoe Golf Course is a mus play course especially holes #10, #11 & #12. The back nine (9) is where the game and challenges begin. The first 9 holes you'll be fooled into believing you'll be improve your handicap easily.

Poor management

Let's start with the good. Course was in great shape. Bunkers had great sand. Not too hard and not too soft. Greens were fast but putting was fairly easy.

I booked tee time with golf now. Showed up an hour early but they stated Internet was down. Did not honor tee time. Got off tee 45 minutes late. Did not get to finish 18 holes because of 45 min delay and pace of play.

Bar tender is a joke

For $90 a round you would expect a nice day at the course. We got there around 9:30 and had time to eat before playing. We were told that we couldn't order lunch until 11 very rudely. Then when some of us ordered we couldn't alter the food as we were told it was premade. Basically a sausage mcmuffin cost $6. Play was slow and the Marshall didn't give a care. Pay a little more money and play Edgewood. I feel that this course takes advantage of those that can't afford Edgewood.
