Great Tahoe golf experience...
If you have never played here you're missing out. A really great course in a stiking setting.
Great greens
This is a fun and somewhat challenging course. A little pricey, but it is in a resort area, so understandable. Best thing about the course is the condition of the greens - fast and true. Staff OK, but not overly friendly.
Wouldn't pay full price but GolfNow price was acceptable.
Need to bring your own water. None on the course.
Yardage markers only on a few sprinkler heads and hard to find
Pretty scenery, good layout.
Greens need work, good speed, but bumpy, and they don't look healthy. Golf course is pretty wet. More direction on some of the holes. In other words the scorecard needs to have more information about some of the holes. I like the course but this was the worst shape I've seen it in.
Great views, nice round of golf.
You can tell immediately how busy this course is from sun up to sun down every day the weather is decent.
First green looked a little thin in places. But overall the course was in very good shape.
I was a single paired with another vacationer and 2 local fellas who had played the course hundreds of times. They were very helpful in explaining where you wanted to go, etc.
The back 9 seemed a bit more difficult to me with holes 12, 13 and 14 providing plenty of challenges.
Oddly, the one hole that really needs to be looked at is 17. There just isn't an opening large enough to have a realistic chance to hit the green. At only 140 yards it just needs a few trees thinned out. Not that expensive or time consuming. Just Do It!
But again, I had a really nice round of golf here. You should to.
water, trees, and varied lengths make for an interesting day.
6:34am tee times Wed, Thurs, and Fri while staying in Lake Tahoe. Golfed front 9 on Wed, back 9 on Thurs and Fri. Quiet in the morning, beat the rush. Busy as I was finishing up about 8:30am. $39 w/cart not a bad deal for 9 in Lake Tahoe area. $7/small bucket of range balls a bit steep though. Only did that the first day. Greens just ok. Lots of ball marks not repaired. NOTE: Ball travels 16% longer in the air due to elevation. Affects club selection for sure.
Spectacular
Robert Trent Jones designed the back 9--Truckee River runs through the course--alpine golf at its best.
The rangers need to speed up play
Pace of play was ridiculously slow. Waited every shot on every hole. Tee times should be spread out more or rangers need to move hackers along.
Fantastic greens
Great course all around. The greens were in incredible shape if you get out on this course prior to 8 o'clock the whole course is yours
Course in great shape
The course is extremely well run. Both sides had marshalls that were very friendly but keep play moving smoothly, very helped looking for balls. Well the Tahoe location is great the addition of a well maintained course and outside management team sure ended up with a 1 + 1 = 3 for me.
Would be a great course in the sunshine, but difficult in the rain.
Course was in great shape, the only draw back was drenching rain with a lot of standing water.
this course is average at best
didnt love it, but didnt hate it. the location and appearance made me really want to play here. but after getting out there and playing, i really wasnt impressed. thanks to golfnow.com i only paid $42.50. any more than that and i would have been really upset. i shot a easy 88 after losing 3 balls on stupid shots. so its a course you can score well on. greens are a bit rough and the fairways are full of holes and bumps. makes it rough on your back if youre in a cart. layout is uneventful. no elevation changes, wide open fairways...etc. so, if you're looking for an amazing tahoe golf experience, this is probably not the place. if youre looking for nice scenery and an ok time out, have at it. it all yours!!!!
Great views and the truckee river.
I've played this course many times and always injoyed it. Flat layout with nice greens, just a bit slow but the snow did just melt. The staff in the club house and on the course were all great.It would be nice to call a food order in on 9 just to speed things up, but other than that had a great time and whopped my son by 9 strokes.
It was a GREAT afternoon and we ENJOYED every step.
The Staff 1st of all was Great ,! of the most Beautiful courses in the World hope to return next year more than 1 time .
Great scenery!
This is a lovely golf course, with a beautiful setting. We followed a large tournament, so it was slower than normal. Great value for the price. The course was interesting, in good shape and not too difficult.
Awesome Mountain setting along the Truckee river
To be fair, I have played this course from the tips as well as the foward tees. (not family tee). I feel that it is a great test for the average and above player. Some beginners may feel overwhelmed by the shots required over water. The low handicapper may find it to be easy as long as all shots are directed accuratley, and there is some prior knowledge of the greens. Green speed not overly slow but not fast either.
Overall, I rate this track a big thumbs up. The down side is that they open late in the season and close early so get up there while the weather is nice!
Nice views. Good value for the money.
The course is in decent shape for a public course. May not be worth the rack rate of $87.00 but is a good value at $45 - $60. Staff is friendly. Has a driving range and a putting green. Good location from South Lake Tahoe. Nice mountain views. We have played there 2-3 times per year when we visit South Lake Tahoe. Best choice if you don't want to spend a lot of money and don't want to drive 45 minutes or more. Pace of play is slower than I would like but typical of public courses.
Good if you get a Groupon, not if you pay full price
Course is in very good condtion, but very flat and not exceptionally challenging. I was expecting a mountain course with many elevation changes and uneven lies, but this course has none of that. We got a great deal through Groupon, but I would not play this course again if I had to pay full price.
