Great scenery, easy to walk, well maintained

The course conditions were surprisingly good, considering the severe drought. The driving range and practice facilities are good and provide you with the chance to warm up all your shots. We played on a Saturday. If you are able, Sunday or weekdays may offer better pace of play. Our round was nearly 5 hours. The staff is friendly. The course is local Tahoe and if you appreciate the Tahoe lifestyle (laid back and casual) you will enjoy the course and its beauty.

Enjoyable and just challenging enough

This was my second time playing this course on vacation in S Lake Tahoe. Golf is expensive in this area and this was the best deal for the money I'd say. The course was in excellent condition and played fairly with no more than the usual ground under repair areas. Fairways were generous but I still managed to slice or hook a few into the thick grassy areas on the sides. Forget ever finding your ball again if you do the same. I loved the big shady trees along the way providing relief from the sunny hot afternoon while we waited for our turn to play. This is a busy course so don't expect to breeze through it quickly. But pace of play was pretty well maintained today, though it was much slower on Monday. The mountains surrounding the course and the sighting of a lone coyote were inspiring. Lots of interesting birds hanging around. The locals I played with were friendly and helpful in guiding me along the course. I enjoyed the course very much and would highly recommend it.

Pace of play

Our foursome was split up to accommodate a single. They sent off three and then the two in our group. Had to wait every shot all day long! Rangers/ambassadors were of little or no help to keep those ahead of us moving at a playable rate! 5 hour round mid week is not acceptable!

Great vacation golf

AMAZING VIEW!!!! The weather was perfect and the course was in very good conditions. I would recommend this course to anyone. Decent difficulty of play and the staff was friendly. If you purchase beer, they let you keep the cooler it comes in. They announce your name when teeing off at the first tee box. Overall an amazing experience.

Course in Excellent Condition inspite of Recent Snow.

Course in very good condition. Not many players due to weather conditions. Fortunately, no rain, just big clouds and gray skies. Starter and Marshall were very helpful and friendly. Joe in the pro shop not so friendly and tried to charge $10 more than the Golfnow price, so bring your reservation contract If you are using Golfnow.com.

Pleasantly Surprised

Really didn't give the course much hope when I first pulled in. Looked like a glorified muni course with a bunch of players in assorted attire (one guy in jeans shorts and a tie-dyed tee shirt). Pace of play gets off to a slow start with an opening par five followed by a par three but opens up after that. The somewhat basic front nine soon turns into a very challenging and scenic back nine. A fairly good golf test but a little over-priced (although the going rate for the area).

Good course , horrible marshaling

Front nine played in 2 hrs. When we hit the 10th tee, there were 4 -4 somes waiting on the tee with one group in the fairway and one on the green. A Marshall was at the 10th tee and said he just for there and didn't know what was going on and sat there and didn't think it was his job to go find out what the problem was. They were letting a group of nine play together on certain holes which is just ridiculous!!!!
