Lake Tahoe Golf Course, South Lake Tahoe

this is not your normal city muni course, Oh No.... and considering that this course is under snow for about 5 months a yr it comes to life each spring. every hole on this course has breathtaking views and on 13 of holes the Truckee river is somewhere in play, not to mention a few ponds on the course too. this course has everything you need, a great staff, huge banquet area, large practice area, driving range, carts, and a course to challenge even the best golfer. and don't let me forget the cart girls on the course too who are exceptional and make it fun, add to that a great grounds crew with there dogs who find lost golf balls which is a riot... which makes the rate for this course worth every cent. memories like this are priceless so don't forget to bring your camera either. now for the course, the front 9 is more open than the back 9 which has more tall trees and requires a better shot making for sure. the greens were med/fast and very true, and showed no signs of bumps given the amount of people who play this course. the greens are bent grass and fairways are winter rye, and rough is about 1-3" and lush. the course has its share of doglegs right/left and can reward the risk takers who know where to hit and put it there. on the other hand the course does require course mgmt too as it can bite back. there are more than 70 great sand traps too, and the hazards and OBs on some holes are just plain wicked and can cost you as you try to find your ball in the thick of the forest and grass or worse yet the River. so whether your a hard core golf nut or just want to try a new course for the fun of it and relax, this is a must play course for sure. its easy to get to and is just about 20mins from the casinos at south shore. if your in the area you must play this course, forgot your clubs, no problem they have full sets of cobra rentals too. again this is a must play course for sure...
