Loved it !
This course was a pleasant surprise.
Ive been going to Tahoe my whole life and always drove by this course and thought I should play it.
Fast forward 15years kids are moved out, me and the wife set a date for my birthday to play Edgewood. We couldn't get a tee time on a week notice so, next available course was here. Wow! What a great experience, staff was great from the gentleman at the front deask to the starter that sent us out to the cart girl Mandy. (She was Awsome).We paired up with a great couple from Texas and played a decent round of golf. Play was a little slow on the back nine but, Mandy the cart girl kept us Hydrated and was a pleasure to chat with. My wife is now a fan of the golf course and already planning our next trip.
Kudos to the Management and staff we will be back soon.
Beautiful location with the course needs some work
Three holes were under repair with temporary greens. One hole had the sprinklers running at the Teebox. Could be a beautiful course with some improvements.
Golf at Los Verdes in Rancho Palos Verdes
This was my second time playing. The golf experience was as pleasant and challenging as on my previous visit. The views are beautiful as it is right on the ocean. The weather is changeable, however and it can become cold and windy. My overall experience was great and I will return.
Spectacular scenery
The downside: three holes had temporary greens, and some of the others were still recovering a bit from the harsh winter. This was all to be expected, however, given that it was early in the summer season. Still, I thought most of the greens ran true despite the situation.
The upside: the scenery is really, really, nice. I started around 7:30am, walked the course by myself, and finished in just over three hours. Most of the time it was just me, the nature views, and the occasional fisherman saying hello by the river. Glorious!
It was $91 to walk, but when I told the pro shop I was from out of town and it was my first time playing the course, they gave me a free sleeve of balls and a drink ticket. Range balls were also complementary. I also found the course appropriately challenging – lots of forced carries over tall grass and water, and strategy required.
Overall, Lake Tahoe GC was a memorable experience and a good value. Can’t wait to go back someday.
Golfing at South Lake Golf Course
The course layout was terrific and the conditions were also great! The surrounding setting was beautiful. The restaurant employees were most helpful. My only suggestion would be to have some bathrooms along the course, however the pit toilets were acceptable. Overall, I had a terrific day!
Rough greens & tee boxes
There’s a lot of good golf within a short drive of the lake Tahoe basin. Where conditions are much better and prices are not as a abrasive. Definitely not worth $118 for greens that are basically a grassy beach. Early season starting people on the back nine is detrimental. No time to warm up for the three hardest holes just so you don’t see the despicable condition of the first three greens. Yet somehow pay a play is always slow here and for the golfer who doesn’t always hit the fairway you will lose a lot of balls.
No shoes, No shirt, full service.
Literally people there with tank tops and practicing with no shoes. We were here on vacation. Checked in and we had to pay an extra $50 for my wife to ride with, normally courses charge an additional cart fee, they called it a spectator fee even though the course wasn’t crowded and we were the only ones in our group. Greens were slow and bumpy, three temporary greens, many tee boxes had no grass. Total cost with golfnow hotdeal and fees was $120, I paid $195 at Edgewood and the difference was night and day.
Not worth $$
Terrible greens - patchy, bumpy, rough. Not one single hole with true roll. Was not like this last 3 times playing here. Also, no mention of 3 temporary greens when booking? Only informed from friendly starter...
Disappointed
This course has a beautiful environment and the natural setting is impressive. My main concern is how atrocious the greens were. There was zero consistency with each green either equal to a sand trap or half grass half sand. What made it worse is there is no warning of the conditions of the greens or cost adjustment for the playing conditions. There was also several temporary greens and again no mention of it on the booking. The round cost is higher than most courses in the area and there are several courses in far better conditions just a short drive from this course. I am sure they are working on the maintenance but a warning would have been appropriate and appreciated. Staff was friendly and local members were also helpful and informative.
The course is usually in great shape unfortunately they had four holes that were temporary greens sanded. All of the greens and pace of play for that day was horrible. Had to wait almost on every hole.
Paul Hargrove
The course is in terrible shape right now. 3 temporary’ greens and there probably should have been more. I live up here and understand that the grass needs time to recover from winter. But to charge $93 for a 2pm start time on a Tuesday is ridiculous. C’mon guys. Quit over charging for a course that is half ready
Full price despite temporary greens
We normally love playing here, however this round was somewhat disappointing.
They had the audacity to charge full price with 3 holes with temporary greens as well as a lot of greens in really bad shape.
When I asked why they basically said, ”because we can”.
Even more disturbing is that they did NOT mention the temporary greens when I checked in. It was the starter on the first tee that informed us. I find this behavior extremely greedy.
Furthemore, the pace of play was almost 5 hours. Which I normally have no problem with on a Saturday.
Sorry for the rant, but I was really disappointed by this greedy behavior.
Needs improvement
Blame lousy winter weather but there were three temp greens and could or should have been several more. Plus areas around many of greens were shaggy and uneven. Tee boxes and fairways were okay. Pace of play was horrendous with two groups on almost every tee. Several fivesomes and at least one sixsome were noted ahead of us. But ranger/management had no.issues with. Play elsewhere if you can.
Wait until next year
Course was hammered by last winter. 3 greens replaced and closed when I played. Several others in terrible condition including tee boxes. No mention of these conditions on their website that I found. Beautiful scenery, but wait until next year if you value course conditions.
