Very enjoyable, scenic and great staff!

My wife and I played there on 8/17/2014 and they hooked us up with a local twosome from the Fallen Leaf Lake area so they had some local knowledge and were very personable. The course rangers and staff were friendly and the course was in great shape. We had a great time and will definitely go back when in the area.

Enjoyable Round

Second time playing this course. Both times have had a great time. A enjoyable course for an average player like myself but I think it has enough challenges for the more advanced player as well. Scenery is terrific, the staff is friendly and helpful, the driving range and practice green are fine. The price ($85-90) is perhaps a bit steep but, hey...it's Tahoe in the summer and really not a big deal.

Help me, I need a makeover.

We played here while on our vacation and was very disappointed. The course layout is boring, back and fourth poor condition, and very flat. The only good thing is you have a great view of the mountains in the backdrop on every hole, not the lake. The course was very crowed ( 8 minutes between tee times) we waited on every hole. Don't waste your hard earned money on this course and play the celebrity course on the lake.

Gorgeous views and fun course

I really enjoy playing here every summer I vacation in Tahoe. The views are amazing and the course is well-kept. Friendly staff.

The holes have nice challenges despite the lack of elevation changes. The greens are very slow comparatively but in excellent condition.

Great course, super cool starters and staff....exceft for the bar girl

Great course, super cool starter and course guide who gave us the ins and outs...... But the bartender girl just walked away from me just as I got to the bar.........? And for 5-7 minutes or more,...! Just as I got there and was ready to order, just walked away from me...? Wanted to order a couple of beers...... Three people totally walked away from a paying customer without a glance or recognition and I was right at the bar with my wallet out....? Totally ignored me.........Totally ignored me for sure.........! And I was dressed very well for golf and a new customer to this course....... She was the (the brown haired girl on 07/31/14 at about 12:25 to 12:45 pm on 07/31/14 . and with lots of attitude and no customer service........ ! Would come back to this course for sure but I might give the bar management a little advice next time. Regards

lame staff

The course was beautiful. the staff was lameour tee time was for11::24 , they did not get us off until 12:43, then they tried to blame a shotgun group.pretty pathetic, I talked to the shotgun group they said they were right on time that the golf course over booked.when I confronted the starter with the truth he got very defensive. You do the math! if the course just owned up to the mistake I would have been good with it, but now they're going to get a negative review. So when you go there make sure you ask them will I be getting off on time because evidently this happens quite a bit with them.

Screw up

Apparently a private mini tourney arrived one hour late so the moved all the subsequent tee times...loaded the course behind a tourney! Five and a half hour round. Many people left before finishing. Took away from an otherwise decent muni course experience.
Greens were smooth but rather slow. Fairways in decent shape. Sure, it's a resort area and the price is a little lower than the bigger name courses, but it's probably worth paying more and playing the other courses if you can afford it. Too bad, because the course itself is a decent, if unremarkable, layout.

Great Place....river runs through it

I have played here about seven times...always a pleasure...Now the locals tell me the Lake Tahoe planners want to re route the river and it will take away six holes until rebuilt. The upper Truckee is a clear and winding waterway that usually can carry a kayak or two. I want to run it before they try to adjust Mother Natures plan. I have seen these things fail before so I hope the planners keep that in mind.

Nice easy round

This course is like any Muni, but the view and altitude make for a great experience. Whether you play here as a warm up round for one of the pricier courses in the area, or just want to play a fun round you won't be disappointed.

Great setting, fun golf course

Nestled in the meadows of the High Sierras, the setting is as good as it gets. The golf course is relatively flat, but certainly interesting and not too difficult of the mid-handicapper. Still, it's not without challenge, and you do have to hit golf shots, especially on the approaches. Conditioning isn't what you find at the premium courses in the area, but neither is the price, although it's certainly not cheap if you compare it with your average public course back home. Then again, this is Lake Tahoe, so it's a good value and a recommended play if you're in the area.

Fun, relatively flat course

Located in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by the Sierras, Lake Tahoe Golf Course is worth the time for 18 holes. Not overly challenging; but some greens have decent breaks to read. Greens were a bit bumpy, but overall the course was in decent condition. You can find a very good deal on GolfNow.

Great course for all levels

I play this course every time I come up to South Shore. With a 20 hdcp it is fairly straightforward to get around which makes the round more enjoyable. The views and wildlife are also a plus. There is also plenty of room for the big hitters and the challenges around the greens keep you working on your short game. In late October the course was in great condition although the greens being plugged/sanded created another challenge.
