The Tahoe —“Truckee area is one of the densest pockets of high-quality golf in the West, with designs by Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones and Jacobsen winding through pine forest and meadow with the Sierra as a backdrop.

The short alpine season runs roughly May through October, and at this altitude the ball flies noticeably farther —” club down and enjoy it. Tee times at the marquee courses book up fast in mid-summer, so reserve ahead.
