About Lake Tahoe Golf Course

Lake Tahoe Golf Course occupies one of the most scenic golf settings in North America, set in the Upper Truckee River meadow at the south end of Lake Tahoe with views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada peaks and the lake itself. The course was designed by William Bell and plays through a flat alpine meadow flanked by lodgepole pines and aspen groves, with the meandering Upper Truckee River coming into play on several holes. The elevation — around 6,200 feet — adds notable distance to every shot, and the crisp mountain air and brilliant Sierra light make every round a visual treat. Spring and summer wildflowers carpet the meadow surrounds, and the fall color display through the aspens is extraordinary. At its core, this is a relaxed, accessible layout, but the scenery elevates it to bucket-list territory.

History

Lake Tahoe Golf Course was designed by William Bell and opened in 1960, developed to serve the growing resort community at South Lake Tahoe. Bell worked with the natural Upper Truckee River meadow landscape, creating a layout that complements rather than disrupts the remarkable Sierra scenery. The course has been a beloved recreational destination for both locals and Tahoe visitors for over 60 years.

Golfers visiting Lake Tahoe who want a beautiful, affordable, and memorable alpine round as part of their Sierra Nevada vacation.
