About Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, a AAA Five Diamond resort, is nestled midmountain at the ski-centric Northstar California Resort in Truckee. It is located just six miles from downtown Truckee and a half hour from Lake Tahoe, where the Lake Club is an exclusive beachfront hangout with paddleboarding, kayaks and food and drinks included in the daily fee. The Backyard Bar & BBQ and Manzanita, the signature restaurant, serve up tasty fare. A gondola ride from the 170-room hotel leads to the Northstar ski village, which bustles with restaurants, mini-golf, festivals and skating in the summer. The resort offers golf packages to two adjacent courses 12 miles away - the Golf Club at Gray's Crossing and Old Greenwood, site of the PGA Tour's 2020 Barracuda Championship.

Not disappointed!

It’s been awhile since I’ve played here! Was a little disappointed the last time I played here but there was NO disappointment this time! Amazing! Conditions were perfect , weather was perfect, staff was amazing! The only let down was my foursome! (That’s another story)

Go play it!

Ask if ladies group is playing in front of you before you book

We were unknowingly behind ladies group play. 5 hour round! At least ten minutes between shots. Good course though, greens a bit slow but rolled true.

No Marshalls. Pace of play terrible

Normally love this course, but the pace of play was terrible. No Marshalls on the course to keep the groups ahead moving along. The 3 some in front of us were lagging all day. One dude was walking. Always hitting out of bounds. The whole group didn’t address their respective balls in a timely fashion. Also, none of the ball washers had any water in them. How are we supposed to clean our balls?

Positive note, had a dinner after our round and the food was great and the service was amazing. Can’t remember the gals name that we serving us, but she was super friendly and right on point with her service.

Overall assessment- good course but for the price they are charging, I’d expect a better pace of play with Marshalls and full ball washers.

Early season

It was a bit early to play the course. Greens were very slow, and no carts on the fairway. Wish i would of known before playing. Still a beautiful course!

Carts on path only.

For it being a mountain course high up in elevation, they should let people know before booking. Made for some long walks, and slow play from other groups.

Old greenwood

I screwed up. I should have called the course direct. I paid $204 per person to play. If we would have called the course direct it would have cost $170 each. I just thought calling golf now it would have been cheaper. Lesson learned.

Thx Dave

Tough Track

Amazing for a public course. Challenges include elevated greens complexes, bunkers seemingly in the middle of each approach shot, and most shots ran out.

OG is one of my favorite courses. Gorgeous views and meticulously maintained. Tee boxes were immaculate. Greens were great 10.5 stimp. Challenging, but playable. Highly recomended!

Great Golf course

Great course with some very tough holes. Wind and elevation made it a bit tougher. Green complexes were also difficult and well bunkered.
