North Tahoe boasts six championship courses and four executive courses when it’s time to hit the links. If that’s not enough, 14 more courses are all within an hour’s drive. North Tahoe’s courses are some of the most beautiful in California and Nevada, if not the world, offering spectacular views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding wilderness. Information on all North Tahoe courses are available at the Visitor's Bureau's golf homepage but these are a few of our favorites.

The place to be if you want a unique and serene golfing experience in the Sierra Nevadas is the Coyote Moon Golf Course. This course, a par 72 designed by Brad Bell, features tree-lined fairways and a true feeling of being away from it all; not one house can be seen from any of the holes on this 18-hole course and instead of unsightly marshals on the course, carts are equipped with GPS systems to guide golfers to the next hole. The course’s signature hole is a par 3 and features a 140-foot elevation drop.

A North Tahoe favorite, the beautiful Old Greenwood Golf Course is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course designed by the golfing great himself. Every hole is considered a signature hole at this 18-hole, par 72 course which received nods from both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine for being an outstanding public course. Old Greenwood also features the Golf Digest School, providing premier lessons and instruction.
