6 Great Lake Tahoe Golf Resorts & Getaways

Lake Tahoe is an ideal destination for a summer or fall golf trip. Whether you want to treat yourself to a luxurious golf resort experience, or build your own Lake Tahoe golf trip by hand-selecting your preferred courses and accommodations, Lake Tahoe has a golf trip for you. Here are six great Lake Tahoe golf resorts and getaways.

The golf course at Edgewood Tahoe Resort has a resume like none other. It was originally designed by George Fazio in 1968, only to be renovated by Tom Fazio, one of golf’s most famous architects, later. It’s also host to one of the most enjoyable golf tournaments of the year, the American Century Championship.

The course itself tips out at over 7,500 yards, but has five sets of tees to offer an appropriate length for every player. With mountain views throughout, Edgewood brings you right to the shores of Lake Tahoe. Public tee times are available from May to October, ranging from $250-$350, while resort guests can take advantage of stay-and-play rates and enjoy all the amenities Edgewood has to offer, including three restaurants, a spa, and a beauty bar.

Robert Trent Jones Jr., designed the 18-hole Links at Everline Golf Course, which surrounds the Everline Resort. The course measures as long as 6,931 yards, but offers four sets of tees to accommodate all golfers. Be warned, however, that the course favors accuracy over length. If you can hit your targets, you can put up a satisfying score.

Public tee times at the Links at Everline start at $109, but resort guests can book stay-and-play packages and get discounted golf.

Dining options at Everline Resort at aplenty. From the Asian-inspired noodle house and poolside bar and grill for a casual bite to the Six Peaks Grille, a steakhouse with a view, there are six restaurants at Everline Resort, offering something for every occasion. The resort also features a spa, fitness center, and pool with a 90-foot waterslide.

Everline is formerly known as Squaw Valley.

Play golf at Lake Tahoe’s most unique layout and stay at one of the region’s premier mountain resorts, Northstar California. 

The course itself is a tale of two nines. Start your round with free-swinging aggression as the front “Meadow Nine” is a wide open links style routing. Hold on tight on the tree-lined “Mountain Nine” to finish your round.

Public tee times range from $99 to $139, and golfers who package their golf and lodging save 10% on their Northstar Resort accommodations.

Northstar Resort is all-in on action and adventure. You won’t be skiing and golfing on the same trip, but that doesn’t mean you can’t hit the slopes. Mountain biking is the dominant summer activity at Northstar, and there are also plenty of hiking trails and 5-day camps for kids ages 4-15.

Incline Village is a resort town on the Nevada side of the north end of Lake Tahoe featuring two municipal golf courses. The Championship Course, built by Robert Trent Jones Sr., has earned high praise, including a #3 ranking among Best Courses in Nevada and a #2 ranking for Best Course Conditions in America on the 2022 GolfPass Golfers’ Choice lists.

The Championship Course stretches over 7,100 yards and offers six sets of tees. Public rates for the Champions Course run between $146 and $247, depending on the time of year and day of the week.

Meanwhile, the shorter 3,527-yard, Par-58 Mountain Course is one of the best short courses in America, and offers an opportunity to take in beautiful mountain and lake views without consuming your entire day.

There’s no shortage of lodging in Incline Village, from the Hyatt Regency Resort, Spa And Casino to the rustic-chic Franciscan Lakeside Lodge. Between golf, all the lake activities you can imagine, and Casinos, you’ll have all the entertainment you can handle in Incline Village.

Coyote Moon Golf Course is in Truckee, California, but you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by towering trees with a calming creek, this tranquil track is golf in nature at its finest. 

Don’t get too distracted by your surroundings, the 7,177-yard course (four sets of tees) requires your undivided attention. There’s plenty of room to hit the fairways, but if you don’t, you’ll find yourself hitting through trees to get back in play.

Public rates top out at $190 during peak golf season.

The Peter Jacobson-designed Gray’s Crossing course measures 7,466 yards from the back tees and emphasizes elevation change and the landscape’s natural beauty. 

Tahoe Mountain Club uses dynamic pricing, so you can save by booking as far in advance as possible, or pay a premium for your ideal tee time. Peak rates hover around $260, and you can always book a two-course package for $320 during the shoulder season, or $460 during peak golf season (mid-June through September).
