Resort at Squaw Creek

This course gets a good rating from me simply for one of the most epic course surroundings in the Lake Tahoe area. The course conditions are to be expected...it's located at the base of Palisades ski resort and that place gets a ton of snow so the greens are a little meh. Definitely playable. Brings some extra balls as there are a bunch of OB areas where you will not find your ball. Great experience!! Staff is awesome and you won't regret it. Definitely heading back here!

I’ve had passes in the years past and this is the roughest I’ve ever seen it, even on opening day! 50% of tee boxes were real bad and the sand traps had more dirt than sand. Beautiful setting, but rough. I’m not sure what changed, but course conditions were 3 stars at best. “May the odds be in your favor.”

I have played here before, and the course has been in great shape.. right now, tea boxes, Fairways, greens are all really really really bad. Worse than any municipal course I’ve ever played at.. I don’t know if you booked directly through Everline if they were offering discounted rates, but I booked through GolfNow and way overpaid for this course. It is probably worth $35-$40 around right now. Four of the holes are not even open.

Other reviews and concerns regarding the lack of maintenance are on point but the course was still fun!

I had an enjoyable time without any waiting.

I have played this course a number of times and find it extremely challenging for a 'resort' course. Any shots towards the edges of the fairways will go into a nature area where finding your ball is near impossible.

The past winter relegated this course to a 'dog track' for this season. Many of the greens have been re sodded and the fairways are very thin if not bare. This exaggerates the tightness of the fairways and makes keeping a ball out of the nature areas almost unfair. Hopefully they will be able to bring that course back to a reasonable example.

Probably more concerning is the condition of the cart paths in particular the elevated board paths. They have many loose boards, missing boards and areas that feel as if they will cave in under the weight of the cart. I wish I had taken a video to better show these conditions.

The board paths are dangerous. I understand the course conditions because of the weather but the actual infrastructure condition is inexcusable.

Buyer Beware

Pro: Layout, setting

Con: from Tee to Green, the conditions are terrible. Dried dead fairways, chewed up and beaten up tee boxes, greens that are shaggy/thin/bare/weeds/patched - comical! Sand traps are pathetic - full of weeds, not maintained.

Such a pretty location, SUCH POTENTIAL!! Great track, layout is challenging, must play conservatively to score well... hire some groundskeepers!!

The course is not being maintained properly. The wood bridge roads are rotting.

I’ve play this course 4 times since 2010. Invest in the course please. Staff is helpful and wants you to enjoy, but money needs to be invested in improving thre condition of the course

Hoping the new owners will put some money into bringing this course back. The layout is very interesting but the tee boxes , fairways , greens and paths are all in terrible shape

It could be such a great course given the views and layout. New owners please invest in it !!!

The course has only been open two weeks. There is grass and weeds in most bunkers, some fairways were burned out, and the wooden bridges are rickety. This is a great layout. Very challenging. The greens were decent, you could tell they had to replace several this summer. The seams were visible., but they putt true. A little slow since they are likely keeping them a little long so they do not dry out. I played on a golf pass deal and was very happy. Great value for our money. Maybe not so for the full rack rate. Our group had a great time. The par 3 6th is a gorgeous hole and the par 3 16th plays like an island green. A lot of forced carry’s on tee shots. Some tight holes. This is not a course to play if you can’t hit it off the tee. The rough is forget about it high, a bunch of marsh grass lines edge of most fairways. The. Staff were super helpful. Had two cold water bottles in my cart. Everyone was friendly and patient. It was a little weird having to valet park and walk through the hotel to the pro shop. Not obvious on how to get to the pro shop.

The first 4 holes are in the forest and those tee boxes & fairways are in good shape as are the greens. Holes 5 to 18 are links with extremely high grasses on both sides plus water holes. This is where you will loose your ball so bring extra. Some tee boxes need a lot of attention as do the traps (just ignore them as G.U.R.) and some greens have patch work due to winter damage. Don't come with high expectations of shooting your best score.

Challenging track with great scenery. Enjoyed everything. Glad I chose to play this course over other better rated local golf courses.

This course is located on one of the most beautiful pieces of land in North Lake Tahoe but is completely neglected by ownership and maintenance. Not a single playable bunker on the course. Fairways bare and greens beat to crap. Every other course in the area looked and played great at this time of year, so it’s not snow. It’s a simple lack effort that ownership is willing to put in. Not going back
