Golfing is one of the most popular summer pastimes in Lake Tahoe and Truckee. With incredible weather, stunning views, and top-notch courses all around the Lake, it is easy to see why. It’s such an important part of the lifestyle appeal, that there are entire luxury communities, such as Martis Camp and Lahontan, built around world-class golf courses. Groundskeepers have been hard at work preparing the courses for play, after our historic snowfall this winter.
