There are about the same number of golf courses in the Lake Tahoe Basin as there are ski resorts. During the winter, a fan of both sports can golf and ski on the same day!
Many of the golf courses around Lake Tahoe are 6,000+ feet above sea level. Because of the high elevation you will get an extra 6 to 10 percent more distance than at sea level. A good rule is thumb is to hit one club less than you would at home. When playing on golf courses that are close to the lake, prevailing winds can come in and make for some difficult club selection on some holes.
The playing season varies from course to course. All of the golf courses will be happy to send you a brochure and a fact sheet or answer phone inquiries about the course, rates, weather and special events.
