The course plays through a multi use park using the leftover areas around other activities. This course is very accessible for newer players, it makes a nice complement to the other more challenging and technical courses in the area. About half the course plays through scattered mature trees with no rough and generous fairways. This part of the course offers little punishment for errant shots and ample opportunities for recovery shots after a missed fairway.

The other half of the course is a little tighter without getting too technical. There is enough brush to make you pay for really bad shots but not enough to hide discs or prevent creative par saves. There isn't really any elevation but some small dips and rises are used to make things a little more interesting.

The course is fairly short overall and has mostly straight shots. It draws on a very limited skill set to score well, experienced players won't need more than straight mid and putter shots to have birdie looks on all the holes. There isn't enough elevation or dense enough foliage to make things very interesting, and even the brushier holes don't have much punishment unless your shot is really horrible.

There are some serious safety issues with several holes throwing right on top of each other. This seems to be a pretty popular course for newer players and that exacerbates the conflicts. There are some really long walks, even with some directional arrows it's not immediately obvious where to go. A couple holes have multiple baskets in view, it can take a little extra effort to figure out where to throw.

This is a nice course for introducing the sport. It has enough challenge to keep things interesting for someone new without enough punishment or difficulty to get frustrating. Experienced players won't find any real interesting challenges here, it's a quick stress free round unless the course is crowded and discs are flying in on you from other holes.

This course in Incline Village presents an opportunity to play some laid back golf in the shade of towering pine trees and through some other local riparian foliage. A seasonal stream works it's way through the back half of the course. All of the pins are obtainable off of the tee.

The course begins in the lower part of the park, where you can find parking off the street or in the Rec Center parking lot if you like. After playing only two fairly wooded and brushy holes, you take a lengthy walk to the other end of the tennis courts to play the next segment of the course. This next segment is pretty easy to follow, but on at least a couple of the holes, it's a good idea to make sure you are throwing at the correct pins...several dips and hills obscure what may be your pin. I actually really liked this part of the course, holes 3-10 all play in this park-like section. With small rolling hills, minimal ground coverage, and simple holes with obvious objectives, these holes played fast and also provided an opportunity to watch other holes get played as well. Several signs indicate that this is a 'quiet section' for the neighbors, but no signs at the tennis courts indicated the same for them. The only noise we heard was that of the highway and screaming tennis children.

Beyond hole 10, the course once again enters a more brushy section of course, so be prepared for some minimal disc finding if somebody in your party is unable to keep the disc on the fairway. A local told us '5 is a good score on hole 11,' but as long as you stay on the fairway a 2 or a 3 is extremely possible.

The back 9 are a little more difficult to navigate than the front and having a map or another group to follow can come in handy...after hole 14 another long walk is in order to get you back to the first part of the course. These last 4 holes are probably the most challenging on the course (and maybe 14 as well) with a bit more length and bushes to run into trouble with. The course ends with little fanfare near hole one. We had a good time playing here, if only because birdies are tough to come by at most of the other courses in the Tahoe Basin.

If you are visiting the area with beginners or would like to have a family day out on the course, this one would be a good choice. As far as Tahoe being a destination for your vacation, I would place lower priority here as it is more of a community practice course, or try to fit it in between a couple of more difficult courses...your legs and your short game will appreciate the stop.

- Very accessible (or is this a con?)
- brand new discatchers (is this also a con?)
- nice stream in play (aestheically nice, but probably a con in the long run...more later)
- several fun ace runs
- pretty little forest for a nice walk

- seemed crowded compared to other tahoe courses
- several holes right by park neighbors
- difficult navigation. One long walk and many holes where there are baskets bunched together making it trying to figure out which one to throw to
- Because the local environmental board's mission is to keep Tahoe blue, one of the problems with this course is the layout itself. Too many holes have the creek in play. When people go near or in the creek to get their discs, they will cause erosion. This will get washed into the lake and could be a problem down the road. The creek is very nice, but if the point is to prevent erosion, this design doesn't address it.

All in all, Incline is a fine way to laze away an afternoon or morning, or hit between more extreme courses like Vista, Zephyr, or Sierra College. Seemed really popular with young chuckers with one disc, as well as families and people of all ages. For them, it is a good introduction to disc golf. For people seeking a wilder experience, I'd pass on this course and head to one of the afore mentioned ones.
