Lake Tahoe Golf Course Review

Always a fun course to play. Mostly fairly wide. It is a beautiful course with great back drops of the mountains. Good pro shop and 19th hole.

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.

Beautiful scenic views and golf

Rolled in and played essentially an empty course
Well maintained, wide fairways with many dog legs

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!!!!

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
