Only one word in the English language can stir such tremendous love/hate emotions. You guessed it, that word is GOLF. No other sport has such a profound impact on the participant. From the scratch golfer, to the 40-handicapper, the game is an addiction. When faced with such a strong need to fulfill the primordial battle of the links, it is important to have the appropriate battlefield. In the Lake Tahoe area there is a never-ending supply of perfect challenges for the person ready to take on Nature and himself. Lake Tahoe Golf offers an astounding number of choices and challenges.
Within a little over an hour from Incline Village, a residential town on the northeast side of Lake Tahoe, you can find over 40 golf courses waiting to test your game. These golf courses cover the gamut from High Sierra fairways lined with tall pine trees, just waiting for the errant shot, to the rolling treeless terrain of courses designed in the tradition of the Scottish links, to the more traditional golf courses found all over America. No matter which venue you prefer, you will find the perfect course to inspire the Tiger Woods buried within your soul.
In many places across the country the decision to play golf on a given day can be thwarted by weather that does not want to cooperate with your need to visit the GOLF GODS. This condition does not exist in the Lake Tahoe area. The climate here at Lake Tahoe and in the surrounding Sierras, is one of constant sunshine. There are more sunny days than in Phoenix Arizona. Spring, Summer and Fall are virtually rain free. When you are ready to play, the courses are ready for you. An added bonus of playing golf in this area is the lack of humidity and mild temperatures. A typical day in Paradise would consist of temperatures in the low 80s with very dry conditions. Imagine playing 18 holes of golf without perspiring! In other environments, the completion of a round of golf can leave you fatigued. At Lake Tahoe, when your golf round is over, your day is not, you are ready for other activities. When playing in Reno or Carson City, you will find temperatures to be approximately 10 degrees higher with the same dry climate.
When selecting a golf course, you can choose from venues in all price categories and scenic situations. You can find resort golf courses that are fairly expensive, courses that are moderately priced and public courses very reasonable priced. You can find courses with awesome views of Lake Tahoe, courses nestled into pristine forests and desert courses with views of the valleys and surrounding mountain ranges. Northern Nevada has become one of the best golf destinations in the country.
When your round of golf is over, don’t forget the world-class restaurants, entertainment opportunities including big name performers and sophisticated casinos ready to be plundered. All in all, Lake Tahoe is ready for your game.
