Lake Tahoe Golf Course

First time playing golf. They had a great coupon for the driving range and lunch. The guy at the desk took his lunch break to give us a free lesson. I was very impressed with how nice everyone was and the course was beautiful.

I wanted to update my last post. Unilocal! should be for positivism. I don’t want to be the a**hole reviewer which Unilocal has too much of. People work hard and sometimes they have a bad day. I shouldn’t trash the entire place because of it. This was a pretty course and I recommend going.

Well considering we were about to drop thousands of dollars at this place I want to thank the Wedding Coordinator Susie for saving us and making sure she made a horrible impression on us. We were interested in booking LakeTahoe Golf Course for a Wedding venue. so i set up a meeting with the wedding coordinator weeks in advance. 10:00am appointment, which she was LATE for. When she met us she was frantic and seemed rushed. We looked at the venue and asked simple questions like «Can anyone golf right here at this hole where we would say our «I-do’s’» and she rudely responded with «well yeah, it’s a golf course» Sorry that i was only inquiring about possibly my grandmother getting hit in the head with a golf ball during our ceremony. HATE to inconveience you with our simple questions. I’ve met with other Wedding Coordinators at Golf Courses who were HAPPY to answer any and all questions, with a smile, that weren’t late and that were a PLEASURE to meet with. The problem is that we are LOCALS. Born and raised here, and work in jobs where golf course recommendations are a daily request… You burnt your bridge BIG TIME. The worst part is not only did we have a bad experience with her… we were actually WARNED about how miserable she is to work with by other locals.

Have to update my review. Played recently and even with a drought the course is still in great shape. What downgrades my review is that the management/​marshalls need to be more concerned with those on the course.
We followed a bachelor party of non-​golfers. They took too long and no one told them to move along (or get off the course). Behind us was a foursome and one of the guys was playing music, loudly. It was distracting when they were near us. Golf takes concentration and someone from the course needed to tell that guy to turn off the music.
To course management personnel: Please be diligent in enforcing golf etiquette and everyone will have a better experience.

We came to Tahoe for a bachelor party. Other than everyone getting crazy drunk our one main activity was a nice round of golf.
I called three separate times to get info about the course and Eve time the person I spoke with was very kind and spent the time to go over all of the details with me. I let him know that there would possibly be another person or the time would change. He said no problem if we needed to change time or amount of people then we could do that at any time even the day of. Well here’s where the bad experience comes in.
There were only 4 of us that were going to play.
Day of our round: I called about 2 hours a head saying we would be running a few minutes late. (yes I understand being late for a tee time is bad but it happens.) The person I spoke to was very rude and said we needed to hurry up and get there. Well I guess he was the same D-​bag I spoke to on the phone. The tee time was for 2:20 and we checked in at 2:30 10 minutes late. The guy said we can’t get u out today. He didn’t look to see if he could squeeze us in or Anything. My buddy the guy who is getting married and all he wanted was to play some golf on his bachelor party now can’t play. Due to us being 10 minutes late.
I’ve been playing for over 15 years and have never been denied a tee time if I was running late. They will always try to squeeze us in. This is beyond disappointing.

Unfortunately, it’s the idiots who can’t play golf who are ruining this course, as obvious from the reviews from people who complain when the course tries to impart standards against slow play and fivesomes.
It’s a flat course, making it an easy walk round with a push cart. Being flat doesn’t mean it isn’t both pretty and challenging. In fact, it’s a really nice course, hence the three stars.
We had a breakfast coupon, but there was no chef on duty. We were told we could grab breakfast at the turn, but if we had done that we would never have had time to finish.
Five and a half hours is just a ridiculous time for a round of golf. This isn’t helped by the tee times being bunched eight minutes apart, instead of 10 minutes, as is the case at Paradise down the road. The long waits on every tee really made me think I’d rather be doing something else with my time. We played on a Monday too, so I can’t imagine what it’s like at the weekends.
I liked the course, but I won’t be back due to the slow play.

***Wedding venue review*** Susie and the Lake Tahoe golf course staff are amazing. They went above and beyond to make our day special. Susie made time for emails, phone, calls and meetings months and weeks before my event and really helped provide peace of mind. The outdoor setting is beautiful and the updated facilities looked amazing, even better than when we booked the venue a year before. The food was delicious, our guests are still talking about the bacon wrapped scallops!
Susie served as a day of coordinator and really took charge with the other vendors and the decorations. Her assistance was irreplaceable the day of. I spent the morning relaxing, knowing Susie and her staff had it covered!

As a wedding photographer, being able to work with other great wedding vendors and venues makes the job so much more enjoyable~and Susie at Lake Tahoe Golf Course is just that! She was a pleasure to work with and gives 100% to her Brides & Grooms to make sure their special day is everything they wanted and more! I look forward to working with her again! ~Michelle of Michelina Photography

Just had our wedding here last weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. The environment was gorgeous, and all of our guests had fun.
Susie, their new event manager, was fantastic in helping with everything. Could not have pulled it off without her.
There were a few small things that didn’t go as planned… the table overlays didn’t get put on, and the sheet cake wasn’t announced to be pre-​cut and served in the back of the clubhouse. Bottles of wine were also opened prior to others being finished, so we had a case of already opened wine to take home.
Overall, wonderful venue and wonderful people to work with. Will definitely recommend people go there in the future!!!

The place is near the airport in south lake, but is very quiet except for the players. It’s a casual county run place open to all, no formal atmosphere makes it great for kids and families. The pace can be slow, the players noisy, a the easy open low pressure games. It’s a nice place for beginners and friends.

Welcome to the 6 ½ hour round of golf– That is my biggest complaint. Kevin (mgr) is a great guy, but I’m assuming his hands are tied by American Golf– They manage and run this course. Until they spread out the T times properly and force people with pace of play, it will always play really slow. American Golf has a history of only caring about one thing– Money. For that reason it gets stacked up and you spend half your time standing around waiting.
It’s pretty wide open but gets interesting at 10−13− It’s beautiful with the mountains, Truckee River and all the pines. Since it’s a short season being in Tahoe and the American Golf Mgmt, it’s expensive– Locals can buy a card, but that doesn’t help with the really long rounds. You should at least play it once, then decide for yourself. Plan on being out there 6 – 7 hours !!

Plaed this course for first time. I found a good deal and compared it too the $ 85 weekday rate. Comes with kart. Any who my rating :
Scenery:10. Man some pretty views of the mountain range. Rivers and ponds flow through course. My playing partner said may people canoe and raft down the river. Lets of trees.
Set 9
many trees and dog legs here. A lot of shots you need to hit a precise layout off the tee around 230. Fairway bunkers everywhere. Most fairways are wide open.
Greens: 5 super dried out. Hit shots on the front and ball bounces too the back of over. Spots on green. Fridge is grass with sand. Fast when I played them like 11.
Favorite holes:
6 and nice par 3 over river. 7 is a par four where you aim for a pin too cut the corner. If you excute the next shot is 60 yards. Hole 9 a lay up par 5. 12 a precise dog let left. Hole 15 a risk reward. Drive able. Aim for the pines on the left and get it over. I landed in free side bunker. 16 is precise shot with a short iron in. Pretty background. 17 is short and tough if pin is in front.
Overall nice experence. Cost wise is not worth $ 85 ESP with conditions. Scenery is great and had fun. Marshall’s and local players are great!
FYI herd they are taking out 5 holes soon and remaking them in another part of the. Forest. Due too erosion from the bridges holes next too the river will be gonee

We came here to golf for a bachelor party weekend. it was an $ 85 green fee. The setting was beautiful and it was easy to find. It started out as a very hot day. Before heading out we had a delicious breakfast burrito before tee off. They didn’t mind that we brought beers with us. The carts worked out well. I suck at golf but I still had a great time.
We actually got rained out in the 10^th or 11^th hole and came in. Kind of bummed but what can you do. I’d go again.

For my bachelor party I wanted a big golf outing while in Tahoe. So picture this, 8 of us guys standing around the 1^st tee box, all of us had shot glasses hanging from our neck and we were all wearing black (because this was my funeral of single life). So me being me I am talking all kinds of mess in front of everyone and go ahead and tee off first ANNNNDDDDD top the ball right in front of me. Loud laughter explodes behind me. Was this how my round of golf was going to be? My entire weekend? Heaven forbid, my marriage? I gather myself and actually start playing lil better. First hole, bachelor party jitters I guess. The course was BEAUTIFUL! The scenery was GORGEOUS! My golf game was semi UGLY! We had a ton of fun, I got sloppy drunk and ended up shooting a 105. Only bad part of the day it got kind of slow on the back 9.
P. S. I for sure want to go back and play there again.

My father and I played here in early July and enjoyed ourselves. The course was in less than perfect shape but was still very playable. The fairway wash a bit beat up so we played winter rules and improved our lie if conditions were poor.
We decided to play after 330 and found their twilight fees to be a great deal.
If you want a nice mountain course and won’t pay for Edgewood check these guys out. Oh it is a County run course if that helps at all.

This is the first place I’ve golfed at in Lake Tahoe, so I have nothing in the area that I can compare this course to. That being said, I do like their practice facility. They have a nice putting /​chipping green and a pitching area. What I do like most about this place is that it has both mats and grass driving ranges. Rarely do I see places that offer this, especially some of the more public courses I’ve been to Nor Cal.
One caveat is that it can be very windy. This was true when we were practicing on the range and also when we were on the course. Staff here is friendly and nice. No qualms about that.
The only issue I can think of is that they stack player’s tee times too close to each other. So you always feel like there are a couple groups waiting for you. This can be especially true when you have 3 short par ¾ holes right after another. We paid $ 69 w/​cart on a Sunday morning.

Horrible. Upon arriving, we apologized to for the sloppy conditions. Due to the season, there was less grass as expected. Ok. I see that. but what about the other courses? what about the grass I see OUTSIDE THE COURSE! BS. just take care of your greens and fairway… damn…
Other than that, Views were beautiful. Thats about it.

This is the Muni course in Tahoe and it is a fine one. The greens are Poa annua and tend to flower. Thus, if they don’t mow daily it can get slow, bumpy and uneven. I just played this last weekend in my friends annual tournament and we had a good time. The greens stimp around 8. Some were fast, others were slow due to different levels of flowering Poa annua.
The shot values on the holes were good. For instance the par 4 10^th hole is a classic risk reward hole. Hit driver right and you are wet. Hit it long and you will have less than a wedge into a two tiered green. the par 4 12^th hole is a dogleg left. but if you drive it more than 260 yds and fail to perfectly draw it, the trees on the right will block you from the green. Go left and you’ll find a nice country stream. 240 with a slight draw is the perfect shot leaving you 160 yards in. the par 4 14^th is narrow dogleg right about 370 yards. with water right you have to hit a nice 230 yard fade to leave a short iron to this long narrow green.
If you screw up those holes that require you to shape your shots, then the par 4 15^th at 270 yards may offer redemption as you can drive the green if your are willing to hit it over the conifer pines to a blind green with water all down the right side. Do it if you are a big hitter.
The course gets a ½ star deduction for service. The restaurant staff made us feel 2^nd class at the turn because the snack shack gal had left. ½ star for uneven greens.

Overpriced for the conditions and course. Not that interesting a course. I can’t believe the people that give a 5 star??? Would you compare this to Pebble Beach or Spanish Bay??? Not even close!
It’s flat, plain, and not a very interesting course.
It’s okay to play, but I would explore the other courses in the area next time I’m there…

This has been by far the best golf course I have played on! Large and spacious with amazing views of the mountains in South Lake Tahoe. The people that work here are really nice and the layout all together of this place is cool with the creek running through and the many bridges connecting the different holes. Plus the people that we encountered here on a Saturday afternoon were laid back and easy going.
This place is a bit on the higher side… I think we paid $ 64/​person on a Saturday afternoon but it was worth it! The greens are pretty easy to play without a lot of hills and the grass has been manicured perfectly so that you play your best game. The fairways are not too narrow and I overall felt I played a really good game here because this place is so relaxing.
Definitely would be back here again when we are in South Lake Tahoe again.
