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.

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.

Always in great shape

The course was once again in great shape

Pace was slow due to a tournament in front of us of non golfers but the Marshall was doing everything in his power to move the pace along

Players course with some benefits to keeping the ball below the hole. Be careful of the false fronts.

Great course if you bring some patience with some great views, the back nine and the front nine present different types of challenges with the front nine being more tight and playable, and the Backnine, being more of a shot makers and risk takers Haven. Make sure you practice your chipping and putting especially dialing in your soft hands around the greens. You will find a bunker.

Fantastic Course, Small Improvements

The courses was fantastic. Small recommendation would be for the staff to be more welcoming and have food ready at the turn.

Incredible Golf Course

I really enjoyed this course. they were about two weeks out form a pga event so the course was in great shape. It's challenging and a little course knowledge comes in handy. The greens and fairways were phenomenal. It was pretty expensive to play $235 but worth the experience although Im not sure I would pay that much again to play it unless it was a special occasion. I think it's worth $120 or so all day.

Gorgeous and challenging mountain course

I played on day two of the course being open for the season and it was already in excellent shape. The greens were firm and medium-fast. The fairways were tight and the rough had not grown much yet.

Overall, this is a challenging course with some good distance if you like to use your driver.

The only bummer is that they are renovating the clubhouse so food was from a food truck outside and it was not great. A cold hot dog is what I got. The drink cart came by twice though.

Long way from Kansas

Beautiful course and conditions for last week of golf season.

I would definitely play again if I'm out that way. Friendly staff and good set of rental clubs were available for me. Locals I played with were great guys!
