Great views and decent golf

Overall the course was challenging but still very enjoyable. The best part was the amazing views. The course did have some issues with dead grass and the greens were not in the best shape; however for the price compared to other courses in the area I feel it was a good value option. I will be playing here again.

Lovely….

The natural beauty that surrounds this course is stunning. We saw a Bald Eagle! The course itself is in ok shape and it looks like they are working on it some too.

All in all, I was happy with the value as we got a discounted last minute rate

Stunningly beautiful and challenging

For someone not from this area, the scenery is breathtaking. We walked the course so we had time to enjoy the surroundings. As a senior whose best drives go 150-175 yards and who is accustomed to playing from the second shortest tees, I found the course to be frustrating on many of the holes. It took my best drive or even more just to make it over the impenetrable weeds and marsh to the beginning of the fairway on most of the par 4s and 5s. Go for the scenery but take lots of balls and don’t expect a personal lowest score unless you are a heavy hitter. Or play from the shortest tee box.

A mountain links

A true mountain link in that uts covered in snow during the winter and they just let it spring back to life.

Worth the money for vista's alone, a bit challenging.

Huge let down

Of course, all of the online photos look beautiful, and the scenery was indeed, beautiful. The course conditions however, horrible. The tee boxes were in terrible shape, the greens were worse. When there was a fairway, they weren't great either. Narrow, lots of hazards, and overall, not enjoyable.

Getting to the course, pro shop, and starter were a nightmare as well. Club drop at the top of the hill at the hotel reception. Then drive downhill for parking. Walk back uphill, to where you dropped the clubs, through the hotel lobby, outside, then go downstairs to find the poorly marked pro shop. Once checked in, the starters were disorganized, and had a traffic jam from mismanagement. Will never play here again.

. Disappointing, especially attached to a beautiful resort.

The course is not in great conditioned which was not help by a very stiff wind. I often play at the Incline Village championship course, which is a bit more expensive but in night and day better condition and layout.

Bad shape

I have played this course many times over the years, and the conditions continue to deteriorate, while the price of a round increases. The worst was having to pay $120 to park my car

Beautiful Resort and Amazing Staff - But that's it.

It's apparent now why the round cost under $100 and had almost every tee time still available for a course in the Tahoe area on a Sat morning. 5 holes were closed. 1,2,12,13,14. They told us we could continue on after the 18 to play more holes to make up for it if we wanted to. As a bogey golfer, this was one of the hardest courses I've ever played. If you didn't hit the fairway or green the chances of finding your ball were slim. After losing 3 sleeves me and my buddy stopped golfing for 20 mins just to search the wetlands for balls. We each found 12 and used those ones to finish the round. Would I golf here again? Not unless I became a scratch golfer but I would come back just for the resorts other amenities.

Not good

Not good all around, staff was fine. Conditions were poor bummer because the track has potential but the resort is clearly spending its money elsewhere and not on the golf course. Showed up and 5 holes were closed, boardwalks need to be repaired but more likely someone will go through a hole in them before that happens. Overall you would be better off spending your money at one of the local 9 holes (pondi, TC, brockway) than here.

Course wasn’t ready for the season

I made T-time without any information about their condition and only 13 holes are available for play that was bad for me to drive all the way to play the course, and greens conditions was terrible too .
