Worst course in Tahoe area
Very disappointed in the condition of the course, I have played there several times before and never has the course been so bad. I played on June 19, 2020 and the would not have played it the next day if offered to do so for free. Absolute waste of money and will not be on our groups list of courses to play when in Tahoe area. Every member of the group felt the same way and most were ready to leave after 9 holes.
I have played at this course many times in the last several years. Each time it continues to proves to be challenging as you must hit the fairways and greens to score well. There is no forgiveness if you get out of the fairways are off the greens. Bring plenty of balls!
Not worth the money
Course was in rough shape and not well maintained. On a Friday. They need to cut the fiarways and rough better. It’s so windy most days. I snowboard there 50+ days a year
I’m not going back.
First Day Challenges
The course was opening for the season, the winter had left its mark on the course with patchy slow bumpy greens. Hopefully in 30 days it will be better.
Fun and challenging layout.
Target golf with little forgiveness but still fun and fair. Not for duff's, bring extra balls. Expect breezy PM.
Great experience
Super awesome course just bring a lot of extra balls lol
Fun round of golf
We had a great time today. This is a tough course so if you’re a hacker like us, bring some extra balls. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it very much.
Good Design, but horribly maintained.
The design was interesting and given a decent level of maintenance the course would be worth playing. Unfortunately, one hole has to eat around / over a ski lift tower. Great views and some nice force carries. "Driving range" has you hitting into a net off of mats (bad mats at that). Putting green is not even worth using. Now when I get to the course, the maintenance is one of the worst 5 maintained courses I have ever played. For context, I have played 215 courses in 5 countries, so I have played a wide range of courses. It was too bad. Recommend getting a new greens keeper.
We didn’t know only front 9 opened but beautiful course.
Beautiful yet painful
Gorgeous course that must have been designed with a literal professional golfer In mind. Yardage guide is absolutely useless on most holes due to the lack of visibility of 75% of the features of every hole, I have never felt so lost on a course. Decided to play on a windy day and it may have been the worst golf decision of my life. If you are not extremely skilled prepare to lose between 5-15 golf balls due to the blind Tee shots, underwatered grass, and swamp like conditions less than 10 feet from the fairway. Also the bunkers are filled with dirt, not sand, so keep that in mind. Not to mention the tractor tire tracks that were evident on multiple fairways and managed to suck my ball in with ease. If you are looking for great scenery this is the place, a fun round of golf...not so much (unless your handicap is around 4 or less)
Target golf
Always an adventure. Lost some found some. Creative track inside a marsh in the Olympic valley. Gorgeous views worth the time.
Dry
Greens fair at best. Conditions a little rough yet.
Great Course
Great mountain course. Most play is in the valley. Fairways were good, greens ok but recovering. Choice of clubs and targets are important. Rough is tough and create lots of motivation to stay in the fairway.
Choppy greens with no warning
I've played this course many times and have always been satisfied. I find in unacceptable that I was not notified of the poor condition of the greens. There were aerated divets in every green making it impossible to have a normal putting experience. We asked for a refund/partial refund and John the pro refused. We stopped after 10 holes.
Hit em straight
Love playing this course. Views of the mountains breathtaking. Course is tight and narrow. Very interesting but you will lose balls. I will put my driver away most holes next time. And there will be a next time.
Beautiful surroundings
Tough course but good layout. The surroundings in Squaw Valley are awesome. Course wasn't in great condition. I'd only recommendat playing this course in late summer or fall once the grass has grown in.
Beautiful location, frustrating golf
First of all the service, amenities, and location are all first rate. After 3 holes (and no lost balls) we were saying "we'll have to come stay at the resort sometime and golf a few days". By the time we were starting the back nine though we were second guessing those remarks. It's definitely links style and target golf but the surrounding natural grass just eats up any ball that strays from the fairway and narrow 1st cut. We're both intermediate recreational golfers (I'm a 22 handicap) but my wife and I each lost about a dozen balls. If you can't hit consistently straight and are used to wide forgiving fairways this is not a course for you. We did get a "Hot Deal" for $40 each otherwise I would have been hugely disappointed. Will need to improve my game before returning again.
Target Golf
But for Golf Now, pricing at this course was ridiculously high.Maintenance substandard;greens diseased.Some tees consist of bare terra firma.While mountain holes are scenic,"swamp" best describes the others.If you hit the fairways,then good for you.If not- the rough is unfair-thick,high swampgrass. Pray that you brought a dozen balls or more.That said,staff was first class.Surroundings scenic.Expected much,much more from a course at a 5 star resort.Just sayin...Don't pay retail...
