Northstar California Golf Course

Rough long around greens. Greens spongy and slow. Good family value with kids or grand kids.

Use golf moose deals for best price.

Currently not in best shape. Surprised because it’s July and not May/June after thaw. It was fun once. Probably wouldn’t go back.

I am so impressed with the condition of the course!! It was a big wet winter and Northstar did a great job putting together the best conditions I've seen in years. The greens look great and play true! Great atmosphere all around! Nice job Northstar team. If you haven't played the area I would recommend Northstar, they have really good online rates and in my opinion the best views.

Best conditions I've ever seen in the 15 years ive lived and played in Tahoe. Hats off to the maintenance team for doing such a great job, especially after this winter. Greens rolling true. Staff in pro shop is vey friendly and starters are helpful. Pace of play is a little slow but its Tahoe golf so its slow everywhere. Wish the outdoor bar styed open a little later to accomodate the turn if you start after 330 but i get it, syaffing is tough right now.

It is early for a mountain course to recover from the winter snow. Fairways were a bit thin/sparse in places. The greens were very good, could be faster.

The support staff were excellent, engaging, courteous very friendly.

I would definitely play here again.

It seems as though the course has really improved in the last year or so. The fairways are tight and the rough is thick, so a little challenging, but greens are pristine! Overall a great experience and we will be back soon!

I've been playing here since 2015 when I used to work at the resort, and I have never seen early season conditions quite like this at Northstar. The team has done a great job with summer preparations and the place is polished and the greens are great for mid-June in Truckee/Tahoe. Definitely suggest playing a round if you're in the area which will give you the High Sierra golf experience and won't break the bank like some of the local competitors charging $250+ for similar conditions/experience.

We were staying in South Lake Tahoe and looking to play golf within a reasonable distance from where we were staying. It was a Thursday and there was a Hot Deal so we decided to give it a try. We were really hesitant to try this course because a previous reviewer said that the pro shop staff were snobbish to them because they had booked on Golf Now. I have to say that from the attendant that greeted us un the parking lot to the pro shop staff, everyone was very friendly and helpful. I never sensed any hesitation about the fact that I had reserved my tee time on Golf Now. The course was in good shape. The pace of play was great. We never waited on anyone nor had anyone pushing us. We did let a single play through once. We finished in about three hours. The course layout is a little tricky sometimes but there are directional arrows painted on the cart path (I wish all courses did this). It was a fun course and we will play there again sometime.

Course condition is gorgeous and challenging. Ready for tournament play. Nice job Northstar!

Course layout is very good even though it’s short yardages. I really enjoyed playing this course. Only problem was a lot of tiny dandelion is glowing on the green. It’s tiny enough not much bothered but sometimes it’s your putting line so I have to take a leaf out.

Great option for a nice course at under $100 which is somewhat hard to find in Tahoe these days...

Front 9 is open with nice martis valley views and the back 9 is pretty challenging with mandatory fairway landing zones for an chance at a par for the hole.

Course was in good shape for late season outside of a few mushy spots because we had a super-rare summer rain the night before. Greens had fallen pine needles all over them, probably from said rain, and could've used a quick leaf blower to clear them, made putting a process to clear your line but not that big of a deal.

There were VERY few yardage markers throughout the course. And we couldn't find a gold tee box for hole #12.

Aubrey was da bomb!

Having played almost all courses in the Sacramento and Auburn area, we were excited to be spending the weekend in Tahoe with a tee time at Northstar. We have previously played Incline and South Lake Tahoe courses. The course was not crowded but the pro shop staff insulted using Golf Now to book the time and was overall pretentious and unwelcoming. The food and cart staff were nice. The course itself has strong potential but honestly wasn’t anything fabulous compared to many in Sac or Auburn especially for the $115 cost. Some of the bunkers were totally taken over by weeds. There is one beautiful hole with elevated box for those playing the Blues. We still enjoyed our round because we love golf but really disappointed and won’t be back.

We played in the afternoon and it was a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly. The Marshall even helped us look for a stray tee shot. The course and surrounding areas were beautiful
