Scenery and ambiance are wonderful.... It's fun, and if you go after Labor Day in September during the week it's virtually empty....

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

Played this course on the way into Tahoe for a mini-vacation. Beautiful course and challenging, wasnt very enthusiastic on the price but it wasnt horribly overpriced. Some incredible holes right next to flowing rivers and beautiful mountains. There are some great holes that force you to hit something besides driver off the tee. Greens rolled pretty well and were soft. Played this course the day before Edgewood so obviously not fair to make a comparison but worth playing next time I am in Tahoe.

This is one of my favorite courses! It isn't too challenging (which I prefer) and the scenery is BEAUTIFUL!! There is a river that runs through some of the holes. If you are looking for a fun and enjoyable day of golf, play this course!

For the money, it's one of the better second tier courses in all of Tahoe. Still there are better options to be had, depending upon where you are coming from. (Apple Mountain down I-50 in Camino, Genoa Lakes over the Kingsbury Grade south of Reno). Nothing wrong with the course at all -- the setting is beautiful -- but just not anything super special.
