Northstar California Resort

Northstar is fun course with it's two different types of 9 holes of play. Very friendly staff.

This is a delightful golf course with two distinctly different nines. The front was a links style that played very difficult because of the high winds (15 -25 mph). The back nine was narrow but protected from the wind by a beautiful forest. There were many blind tee shots on the back nine but reading the scorecard hints was helpful. Great value (for the price of a single at The Mountain executive course in Incline, two played at Northstar).

The front side is a prairie course, open yet challenging, well laid out, interesting. The back side is cut through the trees but did not have enough buildable land. Some landing area are so small you can't believe someone calls it a golf hole. There are at least four hole where you are asked to hit a 150 yard tee shot and then hit a 160+ yard shot to elevated green that you cannot see. I believe in strategic golf, but this is just not that. If you need to play here, play the front 9. Maybe they will open it up, but right now, I will pass. There are much better options in the area.

Course is in great condition except there is still sand on front nine greens. The rough is tall and second cut can be challenging. Staff was excellent. Good knowledge of the course. Great views too. Bring your A game.

Course in very good condition considering time of year. Greens faster than Reno/Carson City courses. Well worth the drive!

Northstar is a great track. I booked the tee time the day before through golf now. Somehow the tee time did not get sent to the actual course because when we arrived, they did not have us on their sheet. However, the pro shop staff was extremely helpful and once I showed them my confirmation email, all was well.

As far as the actually course goes, I always enjoy Northstar. The greens were a bit slow but they rolled as true as can be. The fairways were in phenomenal condition and my wedges cut through them like warm coconut butter. I would definitely recommend this course to all.

NO MAINTAINENCE OR CARE IS BEING CONDE TO THE COURSE. COULD BE A GREAT COURSE OTHERWISE.

The front nine has wide fairways and is fairly level. The back nine has narrow fairways with lots of trees and ravines. The fairways and the greens are all well maintained. The greens reasonably soft, but very fast. Some are tilted so that a missed putt can mean a longer putt coming back.

The day that I played the course held a shotgun start. This made the play a little slower than I expected. Also, As we started play on hole number 11, we were confronted with the most challenging part of the course right away. I think we would have played better starting on number one.

All in all, it's an enjoyable course and I would gladly return.

Excellent course, would recommend it to anyone of any skill level

The value and the course was a bargain. We were just driving thur Tahoe enjoying the lake and decided to look on line for a golf course close by at a reasonable rate. We found it. The course was in great shape and it was a beautiful day. We were right behind a tournament, so we waited some but joined up with another twosome behind up so we didn't have to wait at all.
The staff was very friendly and gave us lots on tips. We will be back again next year to this 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.
