There are about the same number of Lake Tahoe golf courses as there are Tahoe ski resorts. During the winter, a fan of both sports can golf and ski on the same day!

During snowy winter months, some Lake Tahoe golf courses close for the season, others transform into snowmobiling areas and a few that receive very little snowfall stay open year-round. During the rest of the year, expect pleasant weather and plenty of sunshine!

Many of the golf courses around Lake Tahoe are 6,000+ feet above sea level. Because of the high elevation you will get an extra 6 to 10 percent more distance than at sea level. A good rule is thumb is to hit one club less than you would at home. When playing on golf courses that are close to the lake, prevailing winds can come in and make for some difficult club selection on some holes.

The playing season varies from course to course. All of Tahoe's golf courses will be happy to send you a brochure and a fact sheet or answer phone inquiries about the course, rates, weather and special events.

The Course
In 1896, the Park family, still the current owners, purchased Friday's Station and the surrounding ranch land. In the mid 1960s Brooks Park had the vision to create a world-class golf course on his ranch land. Renowned for such courses as Seminole and Butler National Golf Course, architect George Fazio was hired and the lakeside course opened for play in the spring of 1969. George's nephew, Tom Fazio, had just graduated college and apprenticed with his uncle for the first time at Edgewood Tahoe.

Tom Fazio went on to build his own outstanding reputation with courses such as Shadow Creek. Tom Fazio has been refining Edgewood Tahoe for the last several years, with the sizable renovations completed for the 1998 season.

OLD BROCKWAY GOLF COURSE

7900 North Lake Blvd.

Main Number
530-546-9909

 
The Course
This North Lake Tahoe golf course was built in 1924 by Harry Comstock as a recreational amenity for his celebrity friends and his socialite guests at the Brockway Hotel. Comstock and his business partner, Robert O. Sherman, hired renowned Scottish architect John Duncan Dunn in 1922. Dunn was one of the premier golf course architects of his era. He designed and built many famous golf courses in his day, one being Shinnecock Hill, New York, the site of the 1995 U.S. Open.

Old Brockway meanders through towering Jeffrey pines with views of majestic mountains and Lake Tahoe. The tight fairways and the postage stamp greens are reminiscent of golf in an era gone by. The charm and character of the old Brockway remains the same today, much as it did in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1934, Old Brockway was the home of the first Bing Crosby Golf Tournament..

The Course
This course is a "links-style" course designed by golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. The tees, landing areas and greens are carefully placed in order to preserve its existing wetlands and forested hillside setting.

Robert Trent Jones Jr. describes Squaw Creek as worthy for all those who play it . . . "A challenging and fun course, with an elevation of approximately 6,000 feet above sea level, accuracy, not length, will be at a premium. This course will emphasize a player's ability to properly determine the amount of risk to wager with each shotmaking decision, and then execute the appropriate shot accordingly."

Indeed, the extensive planning and careful handling of the environment gives Squaw Creek the unique character of a natural golf course that blends with the majestic surrounding mountains.

Special Events
Squaw Creek is the host of the amateur event, Tournament of Champions, held the first weekend of October. All northern California club champions qualify. Squaw Creek's professional golf staff will assist you in organizing any type of competition you desire, including Scramble, Best Ball, Callaway and others.

TAHOE CITY GOLF COURSE

251 North Lake Blvd.
Tahoe City

Main Number
530-583-1516

 
The Course
Established in 1917, this course was designed by May "Queenie" Dunn Hupfel for the railroad. She also served as pro/manager. The course originally had sand greens and was for the use of guests at the Tahoe Tavern. Golf was coming into its own in the early years of this century, and was a favorite pastime of the wealthy. First planned as a six-holer, the Tavern links became nine holes and 2,700 yards by 1926 -- a status which later development of surrounding property obliged it to maintain permanently. There were big money games in the fifties before Incline Village was built. Names of old-time players include Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, the Mills Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr and Andy Williams.

The greens at this course are some of the best in Lake Tahoe. They have a lot of character, are fast and true, will always accept a good shot and they are in great shape. You may think you can tear it up, but this course draws many well-known players who find the greens challenging and in excellent shape and they don't often score well.

Special Events
Many local tournaments are hosted to benefit local groups, such as the Bill Connors Memorial & Alpine Meadows Ski Team.

Restaurants
The Old Tahoe Country Kitchen is open for breakfast and lunch. The Par Bar looks out over the course and offers a great view of the #6 and #9 finishing holes. For information about hosting special events, call 530-583-1516.
