Northstar California Golf Course

The front nine and back nine are completely different. The front nine is in a meadow and flat, while the back nine goes into the mountain with many elevation changes and target golf. We had a wonderful time.

Nice course and probably has the best price value in the Truckee area

Had fun...played the best game ever...and the beer in the bar was really cold.

Excellent customer service and beautiful location, highly recommended.

Beautiful course. No room for error. Interesting layout. I would hate to play it every day but worth @ least one visit

The greens were top notch. Super fast like putting on linoleum but they were not hard so they accepted a fair and aggressive shot. Back nine will play u if u don't play it. Club selection key here.

From the friendly greeting by the efficient staff to the wipedown of our clubs at the end of our round, our golf outing at Northstar was a great time. Even though the course beat me up a little, I loved the challenge it provided. It was tough but fair with true rolling fast greens. Long hitters didn't always have an advantage and accuracy and good course management provided the better scores. Do listen carefully to the marshal's advice as course knowledge will gain you several strokes. Will be back.

Nice greens, above average staff, lotta play yet good condition

Marshal was constantly around yet refused to enforce pace-of-play issues for the foursome ahead of us. A 5 hour round is not acceptable. Staff friendly enough

The staff were friendly and accommodating, they exceeded expectations as they helped us by putting our clubs on our carts and saw us to the 1st tee.

The course was in good condition as all greens and tees were easily found, with the exception of one holt which we didn't notice the signage. Extremely enjoyable to play the course.

Look forward to returning again. First time playing be sure to have extra sleeve of balls just in case you get wild on tee shots.

We had a great day.

North Star golf resort is truly an enjoyable expirence. I had a tee time at 4 for a twighlight round. The pro shop was great my only complaint for the day was you didn't get many golf balls in the bucket for the range. The range and putting green was great. The hole front 9 was near the he highway and airport. The courses second nine was in the woods and was a little more scenic because you could see the ski lift at the resort. 18 was a buetifully hole with the creek. Nobody in my group played well but we all enjoyed are round.

Front was open and challenging Some very nice holes Good par 3s on both sides

Back nine is short and tight but fair and rewarding Aim for 150osts from the tees

Try it and you'll like it

What I like about this course is the front nine allows you to get your game together with mostly wide open fairways where you can pretty much "grip it and rip it" and then you go into a back nine that is much more technical and requires significant accuracy.

staff was great, both on the phone and in-person.

course is ok - front 9 is in the meadow and it was soft/mushy in most places - had water coming into my shoes in a dozen shots or so, even as dry as it has been up here. Greens were pretty good and the layout of the front 9 is a good play. Yellow Jackets are everywhere and one of our group was bitten/stung - changed the round going forward as we all were hyper-aware of how many there were around us. Back 9 is tight and almost feels like the resort decided they should add 9 more holes, even through the layout wouldn't be that great. Several blind/tight shots that can cost you strokes and frustration even if you hit a good tee shot. Worth a play if you just have to play it, but bring your bug-spray, and hit a lot of irons off the tee on the back 9.

This was my first time playing this course and I loved it!! It was like playing 2 different courses in one round. The front nine is played in a meadow setting and the back nine is a mountain course. Both have spectacular views. The starter was very helpful in providing many tips to playing the course. The scorecard also has great tips for each hole, all of which came in very handy. The cart girl was very attentive and very pleasant. The pro shop staff were also very friendly and helpful and so were the golf cart attendants and bartender. Overall this was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to come back and play again. *****

Two different Nines. Front 9 is open with great scoring opportunities, back is target golf in the pines. Played to rounds, had a lot of fun. Great staff!
