Played on:Apr 8, 2020
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
- No crowds on the day we ere there
- Good variety all around
- The best baskets I have seen/played on
- Amazing personalized artwork/welding work for every bag
hanger on every hole (worth playing to for this alone)
- Good signs
- Separate cool welded arrows signs on most holes that point
to the next tee
- Great views
- Love the smell of sage and juniper
- Nice t pads for each hole
- Great layout and use of space
- Out of town

Cons:
- Right next to the dump. No bad smells the day I was there
but a bit of loud noise
- Some tee pads are getting holes in them. At this point they
were all usable but on a few you had to use caution. It won't
be too long before a couple become dangerous or unusable
- Discs often landed in Junipers that are impossible to get any
forward throw on (just an added challenge I guess but kind of
frustrating)
- Arrow signs that point to the next tee were often turned the
wrong direction (moved by wind)

Other Thoughts:
It is apparent a lot of work and care went into this course( A+)
Would be great to see maintenance on the worn tee pads as
they are becoming a hazard
The arrows indicating direction need to somehow be made
unmovable (a very small amount of cement in a hole is all it
would take)

Great use of rolling hills 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Sep 23, 2019
Played the course:once
Pros:
Great use of rolling hills. They did a great job using the hills in every variation. They have at least 2 side hills that the best way to get to the basket is throwing an anti over the downhill side. Do it right and have a good chance at birdie. Go to high, and you could end up way down the hill with a tough par save. Has some long open holes for you big arm guys. (Not me) some short with even a really short downhill putter drive. Great pads that are easy to find with the metal custom bag racks. Each hole has an awesome map of the hole that even show the elevation difference for every pin! Very nice baskets. I printed the map, but really didn't need it. I am NOT a desert fan, and I still give this course a solid 4.
Cons:
Not really anything. For me since it's in the desert, it isn't the most beautiful course. But that is personal preference. But I definitely wouldn't play on a warm day. Not much shade to find.
Other Thoughts:
Lake Tahoe has so many top quality courses it's crazy. From Sierra at Truckee, North Tahoe Park, Zepher, Markleeville, Kirkwood to this one. Plus about 4-5 other good courses. If you travel here from out of town, you could stay a few days and get in 2-3 good courses a day. Combine that with some gambling and some great beers. Plan your trip.
