I love to play this course, but I got tied up with a couple of old guys who thought they were good golfers. There were not and thus it took us 5 hours and 15 minutes to play 18n holes. I played your course a few times and look forward to playing it again. Hopefully I do not get STUCK with these folks again. Looking forward to playing 18 again - I will remember my mistake.
STRONG SUGGESTION
The course is exelent.
BUT while there are 5 tee boxes, non near 6,000 yards.
5,500 ti 6,400 plus and longer. With 5 tee boxes, you shouldnn't have a use a combo card which I did not see to have tees 6,000 - 6,100 the most.
Great golf course
Had a great time playing with strangers as I signed up as a single. The course is in immaculate condition. Love to play this course and would recommend to all.
Great Course!
Very nice course layout that is in very good condition. A few holes require some strategy for the approach shots the first time you play. Overall, a very nice course that I would recommend.
Bummer Crossing
This place sucked on price value only. Course was top notch and so was the service. Beware they add 22% to every check and the house retains the 2%.. The pace of play was bad as we waited 5–10 minutes on each hole to tee off. Then my buddy just gave up on it .so, the cherry was we got to 18 which is a awesome finishing hole. The freakin groundskeeper is watering the green. He totally ignores us keeps going about his business. I just went home won’t play there again. Shame
Good course
N8ce course, Great conditions, poor value for money.
Greys
Perfect conditions. The greens were faster than where i usually play so that took some adjustment but it is such a beautiful and fun course. Highly recommend
Another set of tees
Old Greenwood is a beautiful track. The Barracuda tournament had just been held there the previous week so the course was in great shape. However, the rough was long and thick which created a significant penalty if you found yourself there. I think for this high end layout the bunkers could’ve had more and better sand. The greens are well protected with many strategically placed bunkers, some of which are quite deep, and the sand or rather the mix of sand and dirt made them especially unappealing. My friend and I have played there several times and next to Edgewood this is my favorite Tahoe course, so this complaint is a minor irritant, and in truth I suck in bunkers.
There is one thing that would represent a vast improvement in playability for players like myself. I’m 72, with the usual loss of power and distance that goes with that, and the tee options available range from forward tees of about 5400 yards and a rating of 66.1 and a slope of 122 with the next option being 6457 yards with a rating of 70.7 and a slope of 132. There used to be a combo of those two but combo options were no longer on the scorecard. I didn’t want to play a 7500 yard course at 5400 yards so have always played the 6457 yard option. Truthfully that makes for a very difficult outing for this 18 handicapper. A set of tees around 6000 to 6100 yards would make a big difference in the fun factor, and that’s really why I’m out there.
Tough slog
Very difficult course for short hitters from the white tees. Par 5s we’re brutal. Enormous number of sand bunkers so be forewarned. As a senior golfer, I will not be returning..
First time
Beautiful course and facilities. Course was in good shape though some bunkers had wet and hard spots. Pace of play was incredibly slow. 4.5 hours through 17 - we skipped 18 to end the day a bit sooner.
helpful staff
The course was as good as expected. What was exceptional was the Club Pro who was able to help us recover from our scheduling mistake.
Great course!
Course conditions were great. Challenging but fair course layout. Highly recommend.
Fantastic day and marvelous course. Thank you. The Pace of play was very slow on every hole
Awesome track
For my first time playing old greenwood, I was not let down. The course was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful and the vibe from the staff was amazing. It’s a track that challenges your shot making and getting up and down for par are like birdies.
Layout and conditions
First time playing Old Greenwood did not disappoint! Awesome and fun course layout, fairways were wide enough but definitely tree lined on a lot of holes. The tee box and fairway conditions were pristine, the greens were rather slow but they did mention they were preparing them for the upcoming Barracuda Championship in July 2022 so they were growing them out a little which made them very slow in the morning with some dew but got to decent by mid morning. Overall would highly recommend this course for the great conditions and amazing mountain views!
Great track
Course just opened for the season, excellent condition. Greens perfect. Only thing to nitpick was pace of play. Will definitely e back.
