Disappointed.
Played twilight rates w/ NCGA discount for $100.00. Although its a forest course, I got the feeling, like w/ most developements, the houses got the best land and the golf course came last. For its location in the forests of Truckee, not many spectacular views or holes. A few of the last holes (15-17) border a deep ridge/ravine with stunning vistas but all in all, not many doglegs, most holes play straightand are fairly routine. Great bunkers. Great condition, though greens were bordering on rock hard.
Final opinion. Not worth the big bucks. Wouldn't play again.
