On time
We had a 2:40 tee time. We arrived and there’s a hour or so backup cause by frost delay and a full tournament playing. The staff work hard to keep up on times. They did. We went from hour wait to just 10 minutes. Sent players of front and back to clear time up.

Good course but pricey
Was able to get a deal for a single tee time on GolfNow, but rack rates are very pricey due to proximity to South Lake Tahoe. Fun course though.

Lake Tahoe Gem
This is one of my favorite courses to play. Course is challenging but fair. Not too hard for an average golfer to be challenged but not overwhelmed. Overall course condition is good with maybe a little work needed on a few tee boxes. The scenery on the course is always beautiful and if it didn’t slow the pace of play, I’d love to spend some time fishing the stream on the back nine. I always want to put my pole in my bag but I’m thinking the Course Marshal might not appreciate that.
Can’t wait to come back

Enjoyable Round
Other than the fact that the group in front of us slowed up our pace of play, (because one member of their group was walking while the others were riding in carts), it was an enjoyable round of golf. There needs to be a marshal that enforces pace of play.
