Northstar California Golf Course

Tough track, you differently need to play this course a lot to know where to hit or miss your shots. Course is in good condition but a funny layout on some holes. we had 25 MPH winds so the greens were covered and I mean COVERED with pine needles. Our foursome gave up keeping score even with one of our group caring a 7 Handing cap. A second member was playing his 3rd round here and stopped keeping score?
Not a good round for any of us?

As high handicap golfers, the course was very challenging. The course lacked one or two holes where high handicappers can feel they have a chance to par the hole. The scenery was beautiful, the wind was brutal!

Great time and great scenery. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful course. Super slow play on the back nine. Our twosome, was behind another twosome, who was behind a single. We waited at least 5-7 mins on every shot. No marshall in site. I would rather pay more money at Coyote Moon and not have that issue. Everything else was great.

A great Tahoe challenge. The course is a throwback from the modern courses that have sprung in the area. The front is a flat but interesting layout set along the Martis Valley area of Truckee. The back is a hilly, very challenging, layout that puts a premium on hitting the ball in the right spot. It is a good value and golf day well spent.

The front 9 is a great track and fairly easy, the back 9 is cut up and too many forced lay ups. Definitely 2 different types of 9's.

Enjoyed a Sunday afternoon at Northstar. Nice course, challenging.

There is not a prettier setting in Tahoe. The back nine is set in the pines, with creeks, lakes, and plenty of wildlife. The front nine is more the links style, with big sky. A very challenging course, go for the setting and don't get hung up on your score! Follow it up at their inviting bar.

Excellent, very scenic course in great shape and a friendly staff

A nice little course that's really fun to play. The front side is relatively flat and easy, getting you loosened up for the back nine that goes up and down the hills, with a dog leg and creek and practically every hole. Lots of fun.

Played Friday afternoon on our way up for vacation. Staff was friendly but it almost seemed like they were closing up for the night and it was only 4pm. The course itself was really nice, like other reviews mentioned both nines are polar opposite. The back nine is really tight but fun. They have the best twilight rates around for the area, but as for their earlier rates I would say other nearby courses give you more bang for your buck.

This course was well maintained. Front nine is beautiful in a meadow with some challenging holes. There are elevation changes on most par 3s. Back nine is very challenging due to the lay ups on the holes, and trees.

We had a heavy thunderstorm and were not able to finish play but the course was in very good condition and we will try to get back as soon as we can.

From the time we dropped our clubs at the bag drop to the final drink on the patio, our golf experience was terrific. The course is in excellent shape and combines a flat, challenging front nine with a forested, hilly back nine. Even with the unexpected rain and hail shower, it was a great time. The staff are experienced, friendly, and helpful. Beautiful resort course.

The course is moderatley challenging. More so the back nine which has narrow fairways small greens and up and down hills. The front nine is flatter in a beutiful meadow.

I used my driver once on the back, and for most all of the non par three on the front.

A course of two completely different nines; front and back.
Most enjoyable.

The course was easy to find. The reception staff and the starter were very friendly and helpful. The front nine and the back nine were completely different in features which made it interesting. It was quite hot that day. The beverage buggy was circulating very quickly. At the end of the round, there were staff cleaning our clubs. Great.

We were in town for the weekend and decided to play. Bring plenty of balls. This course will reward those who are conservative and accurate with their shots and punish the heroes who try to bomb every shot. There is a dress code and the staff is pretty friendly. The Marshal hounded our foursome through the entire round even though there wasn't anybody in front of us or behind us, but he was very kind about it.

A lot of people describe this course as "Jekyll and Hyde" This is very true! With the front nine being open and forgiving and the back nine being tight and technical.

Haven't played it in 20 years or so. The trees are have grown on the front 9. I would play it again if given the chance. Pace wasn't too bad considering it was Friday afternoon.
