If you've never encountered mountain golf at Lake Tahoe, you're in for a unique adventure. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe, two golf courses (the Championship Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and the Executive Course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.) will both challenge and delight.

For the blue tees, the par-72 Championship Course is over 6,900 yards long, with a 72.6 course rating. If the elevation of 6,500 feet above sea level doesn't take your breath away, the incredible mountain setting in which you're playing might. You'll experience greater distance with every shot due to the altitude, but with tightly cut fairways bordered by towering pines, you'd better be accurate. Bunkered greens and water hazards await approach shots on just about every hole. You'll wonder how the course record of 63 was ever achieved.

The Executive Course is recognized as one of the finest layouts of its type in the world and has been host to the National Championship of Executive Courses. This par-58 course features 14 creative and challenging par-3s averaging over 150 yards in length and four par-4s. Straight shots are in your best interest, as the sloping designs of the landing areas among the lofty pines are not forgiving.
