Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club is located near Lake Tahoe, CA

Phone: 530-836-0394

Website: http://www.golfwhitehawk.com/golftoday.htm

Course History:

Dick Bailey designed this magnificent course that stretches out over nearly 7000 yards. It was carved into the Mohawk Valley and the natural terrain makes for a game that is challenging for all players but plenty of fun. Professionals may have a bit of an advantage, but this is certainly a course that is enjoyable for players of all skill levels.

What You Need to Know:

The staff at Whitehawk are incredibly friendly and the course is known as one of the nicest in the area. Tee times can be reserved by calling the number listed above. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the costs of most of the other courses in this area but they also have specials for residents. We recommend checking their website for specials before booking your time.

The fees include the use of a golf cart and we recommend taking them up on the offer. The terrain can be a bit challenging at times and it's nice to have the benefit of a cart at your disposal. They do ask that visitors refrain from bringing their own alcoholic beverages - but these can be purchased at the course.

There is a dress code for both men and women. Men are asked to wear collared shirts with sleeves and appropriate slacks. Shorts are allowed as long as they are knee length. Denim is allowed if it is in good shape and nicely pressed. Women must wear appropriate golfing shirts, and any skirts or shorts must be longer than mid-thigh.

Playing Hints:

Many of the fairways are sloped and it can be difficult to get a shot you're happy with on many holes. What seems like a great shot will be made a lot worse after the ball rolls down the hill. We recommend working on your long game as well as your accuracy to make the most of this course. When there is a slope, try to aim a little in the opposite direction so that you minimize the amount of roll.

The natural terrain is challenging and will require the use of all of your clubs. There are a few water hazards, but nothing that is terribly difficult to surmount. The bunkers however are quite challenging and they are sprinkled throughout the course. You'll want to do your best to avoid them since the sand is quite deep and nearly impossible to get out of.

Incline Village - Mountain Golf Course

Phone: (775) 832-1146

Website: http://www.golfincline.com

Course History:

Incline Village is home to two fantastic golf courses, but we're going to focus on the Mountain Course for this review. This is as the name would suggest, a beautifully hilly course that is quite challenging for many players but definitely fun for all. Although this is a short par 58, you're going to get quite a workout on the hills. The course opens in May, and is a great place to have a little fun and relax.

What You Need to Know:

Robert Trent Jones designed this beautiful course and it is a true testament to his strengths as a designer. With the just the right amount of difficulty, most players should find that with a little practice they can come close to par. There is a dress code at this course and all players are asked to wear collared shirts. No denim, cut offs or tank tops are allowed.

The driving range has 28 stalls and opens a half hour before the first tee time and closes a half hour after the last tee time. It's a great place to work on your swing and the practice bunkers will get you ready for your round of golf. Lessons are available from the club pros and the pro shop is very well stocked.

The club frequently runs specials, so it's a good idea to check their website before booking your tee time. You can register your tee time by calling ahead to the pro shop or by using their online system.

Playing Hints:

Most of the holes on this course are very straightforward and you won't have to worry about dealing with dog legs. However, you are going to be dealing with some pretty incredible hills so we really recommend taking advantage of a golf cart. Creeks are the main water hazard and they bisect several holes. You'll want to have a really strong tee shot on the fourth and sixth hole, but for the seventeenth and tenth holes, you may want to shorten up your drive and use an iron to get over the creek.

The eighth hole is a great place to get your score back up on the front nine and on the back nine you'll also have a good chance of birdie-ing the fifteenth and eighteenth holes. This is a well balanced course, even though it is short, and it should be suitable for most levels of players. Keep in mind that it takes around two or three rounds to get the feel of the course.

The Northstar at Tahoe Golf Course is located near Lake Tahoe, CA

Phone: 530.562.3290

Website: http://www.northstarattahoe.com/info/summer/golf.asp

Course History:

This resort course has something for the whole family, including tennis, horseback riding and many other activities. The staff here are incredibly friendly and the course has built up a reputation of being one of the nicest in the area. Designed by the famous Robert Muir Graves, this beautiful course is incredibly challenging but still fun. It is definitely one of the nicest and most professional courses in California and the surrounding areas.

What You Need to Know:

You can reserve your tee time by calling the number listed above or by using their online system. The course frequently runs specials, so we highly recommend visiting their website before you book. Lessons are available from the on site pros and the pro shop is very well stocked.

We recommend wearing traditional golf attire, although the course doesn't state that there is a dress code. If you have any questions we recommend contacting the pro shop. Since it is a resort course, you'll probably want to err on the side of caution and dress conservatively.

Playing Hints:

As we mentioned earlier, this is a challenging course, and you'll need to bring your best game. The main issue are the water hazards which affect pretty much every hole. You'll be dealing with a creek throughout the entire course, and there are also some sizable lakes that make several holes a lot more interesting.

While most of the holes are straightforward, there are a few with a slight dog leg. You'll need to focus more on avoiding the water and going for a long, straight drive. The bunkers aren't terribly bad but there are enough of them to make it challenging.

The greens for the second and third hole are cut off by the creek, so you'll want to make sure that you land your drive in a spot where it will be easy to get across with one shot. The same creek also affects the fifteenth and eleventh holes, so you'll be pretty familiar with the creek before the end of your game.

The first green is situated directly next to a large lake, so you'll want to keep to the right of the fairway for the best chances of avoiding it. On the thirteenth hole however, keep to the left to avoid the lake before the green.

Wolf Run Golf Club is located near Lake Tahoe, CA

Phone: (775) 851-3301

Website: http://www.wolfrungolfclub.com/

Course History:

Wolf Run Golf Club is a very nice course that is a little expensive to play but well worth the trip. The course was designed to fit right into the landscape, which means it can be quite challenging to play at times. It quickly became a local favorite and golfers from all over the world travel to take a crack at this tough but fun course.

What You Need to Know:

You can book a tee time up to fourteen days in advance either by phone or online. The practice facilities are definitely state of the art and the 10,000 square foot practice green is essential before heading out on the course. They also include a 100 yard short game practice area as well as a newly remodeled driving range. Overall, the practice facilities are some of the nicest in the area.

The pro shop is very well stocked and you'll find just about everything under the sun that's related to golf. It's a great place to shop for golfers on your list, especially if they think they already have everything. The club restaurant is out of this world and offers a great mix of high-end fare mixed with comfort food.

The course does not specifically state that they have a dress code, but please keep in mind that this is a very nice and exclusive facility. We recommend collared shirts and slacks for both men and women playing this course. You may want to bring soft spikes since most courses in this area are soft spike facilities.

Playing Hints:

This is a challenging course that offers a good mix of different shots that all work towards perfecting your game. Don't expect to master it in one go-round, unless you're already a pro. However, that's part of the fun and you'll definitely want to keep going back to give it another shot.

The fairways undulate and at times, you may be hard pressed to see where to go with your next shot. They don't go overboard with tips on the scorecard either, so you'll be playing the first round pretty much blind. We recommend working on accuracy since some of the roughs are incredibly tough. The greens are very fast and you'll need to really work on putting accuracy and speed to find the right mix.

There are also plenty of water hazards that definitely make your round a challenge. You'll want to do your best to shoot over them, but in some cases, you may be better served with a short shot that will put you in a better position to get over the hazard. The key to this course is definitely using the right club at the right time.

Eagle Valley Golf Course is located in: Carson City, NV

Phone: 775-887-2380

Website: http://www.eaglevalleygolf.com

Course History:

This is a truly great course that is actually two courses in one. You'll have your pick of two, and the West Course is by far the most challenging. We'll be focusing on this one for our review. The course is a bit tucked away, but easy enough to access from the Lake Tahoe area. However, there are quite a few construction projects in the works this year for this area, so you may want to call ahead to get a road report before you go. Overall, this is a course that is well worth the trip, fun to play and you'll have a great time.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number above. This is a great classic style course that offers a championship level of play. We recommend wearing traditional golf attire while you're here. It's a very friendly course, but this is a championship level course and you should dress appropriately.

The staff at the pro shop is unbelievably helpful and you'll find everything you could ever need for your game while you're here. The grill is a terrific place to kick back after a hard game and they have some truly marvelous food here. You won't mind making the trip once you bite into one of their entrees.

Playing Hints:

This is a course that requires a great deal of accuracy and patience. It is a lot of fun, but you will be working for that score. The worst part is the change of elevation and you'll be hard pressed to see the greens at some points. It's best to bring a cart since this is a very tough course.

You'll also be dealing with several water hazards, but the worst is the ninth hole. The lake there is shaped like a boomerang, so you'll deal with it first after your first shot and then again during your approach to the green. Stick to the right of the fairway for the best shot.

Coyote Moon Golf Course is located near Lake Tahoe, CA (This is one of my favorite courses... Played it when they first opened before they had their license to sell beer... Beer was free! Water you had to pay for.)

Phone: 530-587-0886

Website: http://www.golftahoe.com/coyote-moon

Course History:

Coyote Moon is a fairly new golf course but it has been incredibly well received and quickly shot to fame. Although it is one of the most difficult courses to master in this area, it is also one of the most enjoyable to play. Professionals will find it challenging, but even novices will be able to enjoy a round without feeling too intimidated. The scenery alone makes this well worth the trip and overall, this is one of the nicest courses in the area.

What You Need to Know:

This course is very eco-friendly and has numerous features that make it a very "green" course. There may be some areas that are parked off from the public and the management asks that visitors observe these rules. That's a small price to pay considering the overall beauty of the course.

Although no dress code is specified, we highly recommend traditional golf attire since this is a more conservative course. The facilities are definitely top notch and the grill is a definite must-stop-by. They are open every day for breakfast and lunch, and the bar is open until 7pm.

Playing Hints:

The terrain makes for a very challenging round of golf and the management states that you'll need to use just about every club and every technique at your disposal to beat this course. It's definitely one of the toughest courses to play and you'll find that distance combined with accuracy will make your game a lot easier and will keep your scores higher.

The sixth hole is particularly challenging and you'll be facing a water hazard right from the tee. Keep to the left a little bit and keep in mind that your shot will be pulled towards the water. On the fourteenth hole you may feel as though you're playing hopscotch, not golf, as you try to avoid the rough. Try to make your tee shot as long as possible and head straight. This should put you in a great position to make it to the green in about another shot with the right club and the right amount of power.

The Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course is located in Lake Tahoe, CA

Phone: 888.881.8659

Website: http://www.edgewood-tahoe.com/

Course History:

This is a stunning course that first opened its doors in 1968, and has since gone on to receive numerous accolades and an ardent fan base. It was designed by George Fazio and contains a great mix of hazards and terrain that make it a challenging but fun course to play. The USGA holds several events here and the course also frequently hosts celebrity golfing events. The public is usually not allowed on the course to play, and we've noted below which dates are unavailable.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time online or by phone and this is one of the few courses that will let you book six months in advance. Please note that singles cannot reserve a tee time but may play on standby notice. If you don't call to cancel your tee time, the course will charge you for the full amount, so make sure that if you can't make it that you do cancel with plenty of notice to avoid this.

This is a very nice course and we highly recommend wearing traditional golf attire. Their pro shop is literally one of the nicest throughout the area and you'll find plenty of gifts or things for yourself. The Golf Bar and Deck is incredible and well worth the trip out. The food is just about perfect. Overall, this is a course that has everything required for a memorable and fun golf outing.

Playing Hints:

As we mentioned above, this is a challenging course, but novices shouldn't feel too intimidated. The water hazards will require a bit of effort to surmount, but the key is definitely distance and accuracy. It's a good idea to perfect the long tee shot before going to this course to increase your chances of staying under par.

The terrain is certainly not level and there may be times that one wrong shot will put you where it's just about impossible to see the green. This is a challenging area for many players and requires a good iron game as well as being able to hit a long drive. The greens are fast and unpredictable, but this just makes it more fun. Chances are, you'll want to keep coming back to try to master this course.

Incline Golf Course - Championship Course

Incline Golf Course's Championship Course is located in: Lake Tahoe, NV

Phone: (775) 832-1146

Website: http://www.golfincline.com

Course History:

By far, this is one of the finest courses in the Lake Tahoe area and it is well worth the trip. The Championship Course offers all players just enough of a challenge without being terribly difficult. Although novices may prefer the other course, it's well worth the time spent trying to get a par on this one. Those who do make the trip find themselves going back again and again.

Robert Trent Jones had this to say about this course: "the ideal mountain layout with a challenge you won't want to miss and views you will never forget"

What You Need to Know:

The course does ask that all players replace any divots that they create. They enforce this policy, so please keep this in mind and comply with their request. Men must wear collared shirts while women are allowed to wear appropriate golf shirts. Please keep in mind that no denim, tee shirts or tank tops are allowed on the course. In addition, all players must have their own set of clubs. If you do not own a set or do not wish to bring your own, rentals are available.

Tee times can be reserved online or by phone and may be held up to seven days in advance. This is a very popular course, so it is definitely a good idea to make your reservation ahead of time.

The pro shop is incredibly well stocked and the course serves breakfast and lunch every day. There are also snack bars that come in handy if you get hungry on the course. Overall, the amenities are simply terrific at this course.

Playing Hints:

Stamina is the key to this course as well as accuracy. The entire course was remodeled in 2004 and the result is fantastic. The bunkers are the main issue for most players, and you'll need to make sure that you keep your shots as close to the center of the fairway as possible. There are numerous water hazards, and you'll need to watch out for the creek on the first and second holes. It bisects both so make sure you hit a long shot off the tees.

Holes 11, 12 and 13 all have a dog leg and it can be a bit difficult to master these three holes. Your best bet is to stick to the right and use your irons to get to the green after your second shot.
