THE COURSES

The Links at Squaw Creek The Links at Squaw Creek is a daunting par 71 mountain track set in the heart of Olympic Valley. Designated as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, it rests amongst a habitat of protected wetlands and resident wildlife. The terrain is host to deep roughs, mature pine trees and off-camber fairways. Systematic climbs, steep descents, blind shoulders and puzzle-like greens are all surprisingly manageable with a slow approach and contemplative club selection. | squawcreek.com

Old Brockway Golf Course

Resort at Squaw Creek

Old Brockway Golf Course is a nine-hole gem tucked into the forest, just a stone’s throw from Lake Tahoe’s shores in Kings Beach. Designed by John Duncan Dunn, it opened for play in 1924 and was a favorite place to play for many celebrities in the 1930s and 1940s. The course still maintains its old-fashioned feel: narrow fairway corridors, small greens and wild times. | oldbrockway.com

Tahoe City Golf Course Now more than 100 years old, the Tahoe City Golf Course has never ceased to provide great golf at a reasonable price. The nine-hole, par-33 course is located in downtown Tahoe City. Despite its compact stature, it provides fun and challenging play for both experts and novices. In the middle of the 20th Century, the course was a popular hangout for Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. It is one of the only courses in the area where dogs play for free. | golftahoecity.com

NORTH LAKE TAHOE & OLYMPIC VALLEY Incline Village Championship Course

Incline Village Mountain Course Incline Village Mountain Golf Course is Nevada’s highest elevation course. It was built in 1968, designed by the legendary golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., who has put his stamp on courses such as Chambers Bay in Washington, which hosted the 2015 U.S. Open. It’s an 18-hole executive layout, but despite its moderate yardage and true to the nature of Jones’ golf philosophy, this is not a course that is easily conquered; pars here are won in a chess-like game of risk and reward. | yourtahoeplace.com

Schaffer’s Mill

In the 1960s, Robert Trent Jones and his son of the same name descended on the Tahoe region and set out to etch their names into the history books. In 1964, Trent Jones Sr. laid out his grand design for the Incline Village Championship Golf Course, carving into the mountainside a course that would stand the test of time and set it apart in humble fashion among all others in the Tahoe Basin. A bright green maze reminiscent of an alpine rainforest features picturesque views of Lake Tahoe, raging creeks and plenty of healthy-sized pine trees throughout. | yourtahoeplace.com

TRUCKEE & NORTHSTAR Coyote Moon Golf Course A high-elevation roller coaster ride and true test of one’s skill reading the natural topography of the land, shot placement and ball-flight control. Located minutes from downtown Truckee, the course is carved into 250 acres of climbs and drops, bends and tunnels, with breathtaking views in a heavily wooded alpine zone, featuring towering pines and eccentric granite outcroppings. The layout sports countless elevation changes, both vertically and horizontally, with well-guarded greens and strategically placed hazards throughout. | coyotemoongolf.com

Gray’s Crossing opened in 2007 and was once a private golf facility; though now open to the public, it still has a private feel and look to it. Expect lofty ancient pine trees, native landscapes, wide fairways and relatively easy-to-find greens. The National Audubon Society recognized Gray’s Crossing as an Audubon International Gold Signature Sanctuary. | golfintahoe.com

Northstar Golf Course Opens July 15 A tale of two nines. The Northstar Golf Course offers two unique golf experiences. The front nine, weaving its way around Martis Valley, is fairly flat, exposed, traditional and straightforward. The back nine immediately immerses players into mountainous terrain and winds its way through shaded hallways between the tall trees. The course was designed by Robert Muir Graves and is an approachable endeavor for golfers of all ages and skill levels. | northstarcalifornia.com

Old Greenwood Golf Course Meticulously maintained, with all the feel of a professional club. Old Greenwood Golf Course is a pure golf haven handcrafted by the legendary Jack Nicklaus in 2004. The course has been given a Top 10 ranking for Best New Public Access Golf Course by Golf Digest and was ranked the 4th Finest New Upscale Public Course in America by Golf Magazine.

The practice facility here is second to none in the Reno-Tahoe area and offers customized learning opportunities, as well as a fully immersive golf academy. | golfintahoe.com

Ponderosa Golf Course Originally brought to fruition by the townspeople and designed by Bob Baldock, Ponderosa Golf Course is Truckee’s oldest golf course, opening for play in 1961. It’s a fairly short nine-hole course and, with the exception of one severely uphill par 3, is quite flat.

However, no hole is a streamline conquest; the fairways are tight and, though hitting driver is always tempting, it can easily lead to driving right through the short grass into a monster pine or onto the adjacent fairways. Overall, it’s a great and affordable place to sharpen your game. | ponderosagolfcoursetruckee.com

Schaffer’s Mill Golf & Lake Club Set amongst the lush Sierra foothills, Schaffer’s Mill is a semi-private golf facility codesigned by John Harbottle and two-time major winner Johnny Miller. The front nine is sunny and open in an expansive meadow under the peaks of Northstar and is generally flat, while the back nine is of a hillier nature with a healthy dose of ups and downs tee to green. It is a relatively long but manageable course. | schaffersmill.com

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE Bijou Municipal Golf Course Bijou Municipal Golf Course is a nine-hole executive course featuring five par 4s and four par 3s. It opened in 1920 and was designed by Virgil Gilcrease. It is a short, gettable course, with a casual atmosphere, great for working on distance control and dialing in your clubs.

There are no water hazards on the course, however, the well-placed bunkers are plenty enough to keep you honest with your shot placement throughout your round. | cityofslt.us

Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course South Lake Tahoe’s most prominent golf club is none other than Edgewood Tahoe.

It is the only course in the Tahoe Basin that shares its fairways with the shores of Lake Tahoe, giving it a one-of-a-kind feel and aesthetic. Edgewood opened in 1968 and was designed by George Fazio. Golf Digest regularly rates it among the top 100 in the nation. | edgewoodtahoe.com

Lake Tahoe Golf Course Lake Tahoe Golf Course meanders about the floodplains of the Lake Valley State Recreation Area, just a few miles from the lake’s southeastern shore. On-in-one par 4s, sharp doglegs, forced carries or layups, territorial trees and bottomless bunkers make for technical gameplay in an absolutely beautiful setting. | laketahoegc.com

COYOTE MOON GOLF Course is one of the finest mountain golf experiences in the country. Residing in the beautiful Lake Tahoe area, Coyote Moon sits on 250 acres of secluded, rolling hills amidst towering pines, enormous granite outcroppings, wildflowers and the beautiful Trout Creek. The vistas, plus fresh mountain air, equals near perfection.

Coyote Moon Golf Course is a challenging, but fair test of Lake Tahoe golf. Most tee shots offer ample landing areas, as there are only a few forced carries. From the landing areas, most holes funnel to medium-sized, undulating greens that are well protected by trees, sand and water. The golf course was designed by Brad Bell, a former PGA Tour player, well known for creating highly praised courses.

Tahoe Paradise Golf Course is an 18-hole, executive-style, mountain course 4 miles from South Lake Tahoe. Designed by Fred R. Blanchard, it features a challenging variety of par 3s and 4s ranging from 95 to 372 yards. Family-style vibes, stunning views of Mount Tallac and green fees that won’t break the bank, are all sure to keep you coming back again and again. | tahoeparadisegc.com

THE LOST SIERRA The Dragon at Nakoma Golf Resort Nakoma’s course is outright beautiful and no matter how you might play, you’re sure to leave here satisfied. It’s just an hour from Tahoe, designed by Robin Nelson, famous for his work on The Dunes at Mauna Lani. Golf World once designated this course as one of America’s Top 75. Come out and take on holes such as Dragon Lagoon, Dragon’s Tail and Teeth of the Dragon. | nakomaresort.com

Feather River Park Resort Just outside Blairsden and Graeagle, Feather River Park Resort golf course opened in 1985 and was designed by Bert Stamps. It sits in a prime spot amongst the Mohawk Valley offering up stunning views and a nine-hole, par-35 golf experience for golfers of all skill levels. | featherriverparkresort.com

Graeagle Meadows Golf Course Opened in 1968, designed by Ellis Van Groder, Graeagle Meadows Golf Course sits among the vast Mohawk Valley. The course digs itself farther and farther away from civilization, as your round goes on and plays host to an abundance of wildlife. The native landscape can be deep and chaotic and missing fairways can result in adventurous outings.

Finesse of the short game is of importance here. | playgraeagle.com

Grizzly Ranch Golf Club One of the newer courses in the area, Grizzly Ranch Golf Club was designed by Bob Cupp and opened in 2005. From the moment you step off the first tee, you will notice that this is a long course, playing at more than 7,400 yards from the back tees. It’s mainly flat and open, tempting you to make the big shots, though cautionary play can at many times be beneficial because ideal landing zones are often filled with one hazard or another and generally require some creative thinking. | grizzlyranchgolfclub.com CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Plumas Pines Golf Course The course opened in 1980 and was sculpted by Homer Flint. It follows the Feather River around a sharply groomed, vibrant green oasis. Water can be found on almost every hole and fittingly so. There’s no shortage of forced carries and must-hit fades and draws.

It’s a fairly short course, but is filled with tight corners, huge pine trees and quick-putting surfaces. | plumaspinesgolf.com

Whitehawk Ranch Golf Course Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club is a championship-caliber course in the serene Mohawk Valley in Clio. Designed by Dick Bailey, the course opened in 1996. It has since racked up several honors and is consistently ranked amongst the Top 10 to 20 courses on many editorials’ Best Public Golf Courses of California lists. It also received the Golf Writers Association Environmental award. With Sierra peaks in nearly every direction and several streams moseying through the playing field and into lush ponds and even waterfalls, there’s not a spot on the course lacking a beautiful view.

PONDEROSA GOLF COURSE offers a family friendly, but surprisingly challenging, 9-hole course, developed by the townspeople of Truckee in 1961. The course, nestled in the heart of Truckee, celebrates the natural Sierra landscape and is characterized by its amalgamation of pine trees.

The course rolls smoothly with straight fairways and a short par 4 until the third hole, a tough uphill par 3 with unexpected gradation

changes and a sloping green. Still, the 9th hole is considered the most difficult, with trees woven as obstacles along the long fairway.

Purchased for private operation in 1968, the course was made public by purchase from the Truckee-Tahoe Airport District in 2008, and is manicured to ideal conditions by the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District. Ponderosa also features practice greens, driving nets, a pro shop and snack bar.

This is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. course in the middle of the city. It opened in 1969 and the place still seems to take you back in time to that era. Climbing up the mountainside, Lakeridge Golf Course features wonderful views of the cityscape below. It’s not by any means a long course, with drivable par 4s and reachable in two par 5s, but the greens can be treacherous if not given your complete attention. You could find yourself above the hole or on the wrong tier of the putting surface, which can make for a tricky two putt. Hole 15 par 3 is a perfect example of what a signature hole should look like.

The tee pad is perched 140 feet above an island green on the lake below and offers an iconic view of the city of Reno. | duncangolfreno.com/lakeridge

Sierra Sage Golf Course Sierra Sage Golf Course just north of Reno is pleasantly walkable with a comprehensive practice facility with an ample grass tee range. The fairways are wide and open, as there are not many trees in the field of play. The greens are thoroughly maintained, fast and true. The course offers GolfBoards, giving golfers a healthy and fun alternative to walking or taking a cart. | sierrasagegolf.org

Washoe Golf Course This historical golf club was founded in 1917; it’s the oldest 18-hole golf facility in the state of Nevada. Washoe Golf Course is a staple of the Reno community, an oldfashioned, genuine-natured golf experience right in the heart of the city. The fairways are generally wide, flat, forgiving, feeding the greens, though lined with age-old cottonwood trees and seemingly invisible-from-the-tee water hazards. Overall, the greens are small and feature at least one steep drop-off into an abyss. | washoegolf.org

Wolf Run Golf Club The home course of the University of Nevada’s men’s and women’s golf teams, Wolf Run Golf Club was designed by John Fleming and opened for play in 1998. It’s a great example of desert mountain golf. The course rolls about the foothills in continuous undulating fashion with fairways edged with hard-packed sand, decorated generously with rocks and sagebrush. It features many drastic changes in elevations, an abundance of sand traps, forced carries and project-like oblong greens that really make for a fun day of putting. One of the best deals in Reno for a course on this level. | duncangolfreno.com/wolf-run

SPARKS The Links at Kiley Ranch The Links at Kiley Ranch is a 9-hole, executive-style, par-3 course open year-round and available for play at an affordable rate. It’s a great course to calibrate clubs and sharpen your short game. The greens are fairly straightforward and allow golfers to focus on speed more so than guessing their lines. There is also a large top-notch putting green onsite. If kicking a ball is more your style, be sure to inquire about FootGolf on the course. | kileylinks.com

Redhawk Golf and Resort | The Hills Course The course, once operating as ranch land, was designed by three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin. The course is well known because of his signature creation where he laid out a vision of deep Augusta-style, crushed-marble bunkers, tiny green, cleverly placed water hazards and large rolling fairways. This course is shorter and plays a little bit easier than its sister – the Lakes Course. | redhawkgolfandresort.com

Redhawk Golf and Resort | The Lakes Course Robert Trent Jones Jr. is known for producing punishing layouts, incorporating minimalism and subtlety and highlighting risk and reward, victory and defeat. The Lakes Course at Redhawk is a prime example of his determination to truly test a golfer’s abilities, while also providing an enjoyable round in a rich and serene setting. The course plays 7,400 yards and feels every bit of it. As the name suggests, there is plenty of water to deal with out here. | redhawkgolfandresort.com

Resting on the floor of the Carson Valley, the field follows the banks and canals of the Carson River. True to its name, several lakes scattered around the wetland-lined fairways bring water hazards of various nature into play on 14 holes. | genoalakes.com

WASHOE VALLEY Toiyabe Golf Club Tucked away at the base of the Carson Range, the Toiyabe Golf Club in Washoe Valley was a cattle ranch in the 1800s, known as the Lightning W Ranch. While maintaining the tranquility and beauty of nature’s landscape, Robert Muir Graves designed a course that he states, “offers an extraordinary golfing opportunity rarely available today.” Come challenge the howling Washoe winds and see for yourself. | toiyabegolfclub.com
