The beautiful Lake Tahoe Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe is ideally tucked into a picturesque mountain meadow, surrounded by the majestic Sierra mountain range and the upper Truckee River. Just minutes from the South Shore casinos, the championship course still seems wonderfully secluded and is perhaps the best value golfers will find at the lake. The 18 holes of Lake Tahoe Golf Course, which has been Audubon-certified, were designed by Billy Bell, Jr., in 1962 and have matured exceptionally well. Towering pines, verdant greens and lush fairways wind across the 6,685-yard course, which is laid around the meandering Truckee River. The charming Truckee comes into play on no less than 13 holes, making for a lovely yet challenging obstacle.
