Ponderosa Golf Course may have a short layout but it features the challenges of a full-length championship course. The golf course sprawls across mountainous terrain that provides plenty of elevation changes throughout. The fairways are lined with towering trees and the greens are undulating, making accuracy a top priority in doing well. There are two dogleg holes and one hole has an elevated green to watch out for. There are also bunkers scattered throughout. The golf course provides excellent short game practice as well as being a great round for beginning to intermediate players. Ponderosa Golf Course also has practice facilities for golfers to use including chipping and putting greens and driving nets.

Thick fairways and lack of customer service

Second time playing this course. 4 of us played the first 9 in two hours and felt like we were playing fast. We passed a single and had no one behind us. Well she. We reached the clubhouse and were getting ready to play the second 9, the manager opened his office window and yelled, "2 hours to play nine is too slow. This is a fast pace course. Your pace is unacceptable." If he would have walked out and talked to us calmly, it would not have bothered me so much. Instead he chewed us out and was flat out rude. If you are considering this course don't. Go to Old Brockway in Kings Beach. Better priced, better customer service and better course conditions.

good 9 holes course

good 9 holes course, the green is fine. however not good for 18, we booked 18 but no arrangement wa made , jammed back on the first tee and get blamed by the pro shop.....
don't play 18 here, if have time for 18 then Northstar is a much better course.
