Played 7/13 on a cloudy summer day early but slow paced pop on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. reviewed my report from 2020 and rob's and the course is remarkably similar in condition now compared to four years back. A Trent Jones Jr designed short 18 holes inspired by Harold B. Tiller who developed this area in the early 60's.
Tee boxes flat and playable 14 par 3's some better than others. Par 4's fine.
Bunkers the ones i was in heavy deep sand easy to go too deep too fluffy for me.
Fairways and surrounds well kept and tight lies. A lot of summer watering as few wet areas roped off and a few approaches wet and soft. In the rough around the greens it maybe sitting up or go deep in 2"+ stuff.
Greens are nice with a few small brown areas. rolling fair and firm uphill cautious on the down-hillers.
Cart paths recently renovated. No current golf moose specials. Locals pay less.
Rack rate weekend at $95 ok? for summer vaca, and a 4 month season. A 5-some (one younger teen) in front of us slowed our pace and we noticed a few more playing behind us as we got to 17th. Therefore our pop was slowed significantly.
Paired with a local guy with 220 rounds experience and he plays regularly with Bruce Gordon 84+ years old local legend who in 2016 at 78 years young walked over 107 rounds (3+ mi. each) that summer. So good conversation helped pass the time.
Had we been first out at 7 we would have saved and hour's time. That was Ok, as
Casa Baeza in Truckee didn't open for lunch until 11. Good fun good day recommend.
