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.

Washoe Golf Course is located in: Reno, NV

Phone: 775-828-6640

Website: http://www.washoegolf.org

Course History:

Washoe Golf Course is a public course that is extremely friendly and fun to play. No matter what your skill level is, you'll feel right at home on this great course. It has much to offer, and the prices are truly remarkable. It has a rich history that dates back to the first World War, and it is one of the oldest courses in this area. It's nickname is the "Shoe" and it has remained incredibly popular with residents and guests since the day it first opened. If you just want to play a simple round of golf in a great environment, this the perfect course.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. This course offers lessons as well as special Ladies and Mens groups that are very popular. The pro shop is surprisingly well stocked given the overall size of the course, and you'll find pretty much everything you could ever need right there.

If you don't have your own clubs, they do offer rentals at very good rates. Overall, this is one of the most economical courses in the area that still provides that great traditional golf experience. Odette's restaurant, located on site is a legend and with good reason. You won't find better food anywhere else in this area. We really can't say enough nice things about this great course.

Playing Hints:

The front nine all play very straightforward. This isn't the most challenging of courses, but it is a great place to really work on your game. Like most courses, accuracy really helps, but this one is a little more forgiving than others. The third hole is a deceptively easy Par Three, but it will take a few times of getting to know the course to par it.

One of our favorites holes on the course is the 18^th, which is a very long par five. You'll have plenty of chances to make up any slack on your score with this hole and you've got a great chance of making a birdie, even if you're a novice.

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.

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.

The Resort at Red Hawk is located near Sparks, NV

Phone: 775.626.6000

Website: http://www.resortatredhawk.com

Course History:

This is a gorgeous course that was designed by Robert Trent Jones. By far one of the prettiest courses in the California/Nevada area, it is a pleasure to play no matter what your skill level may be. The course stretches out over 7000 yards and includes more than 100 bunkers to test your skills. The greens are made with A4 bent grass and offer a great challenge without being too intimidating.

What You Need to Know:

Tee times can be reserved by calling the number listed above. You can reserve your time up to 14 days in advance. This facility has quite a bit to offer, whether you are a guest at the resort or just playing on the course. Guests should remember that there is a separate course for members only, but the public Lakes course, which is being reviewed here, offers top notch amenities and some really great prices.

The practice facility is one of the best in the region and the club grill is well worth the trip alone. The true piece de resistance however is the pro shop that has much to offer any golfer. We recommend wearing standard golfing attire at this course, even though it is technically public, simply because the atmosphere really calls for that kind of respect.

Playing Hints:

As we mentioned above, you'll be dealing with more than 100 bunkers, so you'll want to dust off that sandwedge if you're not very accurate. This is a course that is not particularly difficult if you are good at placing the ball right where you want it. Otherwise, it can be a bit hard, but it is so beautiful, you'll barely notice.

There is one massive lake that will make the holes 13 - 17 much more interesting. Try to go a little to the left to make up for the pull of the water. The are a few other small lakes, but nothing that you won't be able to handle.
