The Links at Everline

I played this course on a cloudy and windy day with 25 mph wind. Strong wind and a difficult layout make it very challenging to play. Even so, I enjoyed the course. The fairways and green are well-kept. The course is long, hilly, and is not suitable for walking golfers. It offers fantastic view of wild flower and mountain scenery. You need to bring a lot of golf balls as many fairways are narrow, and the roughs are thick, especially if you are not used to link golf.

The fee may be a little high, but playing it is a worthwhile experience.

I am a 12 handicap who consistently shoots in the high 70's. Unless you are deadly accurate (and long) with long irons and fairway woods this course is not for you. The fairways are narrow and long with OB on both sides on most holes. Granite just off fairways creates some wild bounces, often into areas you need a chainsaw and machete to find your ball. Rarely do I lose more than one ball a round. I stopped counting after 7 and that was on the front nine. Three of those hit the green on approach, rolled off the back, and disappeared into the swamp that surrounds most of the course. I often play with my wife who is not long, but hits the ball dead straight. She only lost 8 balls for the round which, to me, was a great accomplishment. On the upside the pace was great. We tee'd it up at 1 PM and there were no other golfers in sight (I wonder why?). Beautiful views of the mountain and ski slopes. The stream running through the course was lovely.
P.S. Large areas of cart path are wood, over the aforementioned swampland. Bring your power tools, or hip waiters, as multiple boards are loose and the cart could disappear at any time. Have fun! After taking this abuse twice, we won't be back. Twice because I really didn't believe this course could be so cruel. And at my age my memory is no longer reliable.

I find this course to be fun but with the poor greens and spotty fairways, it looses a lot. On a chip shot to the green, you will get bounces in all directions. I understand it has a lot of winter snow though. Will come back later this summer and see if the greens have improved.

Course plays fairly short and very tight. Narrow landing areas and skinny fairways. Nice greens, good and fast.

Except for the greens the course was great shape after a hard winter. Enjoyed the scenery and had a good experience overall.

Wow, what a beauty of a golf course.
Unfortunately it wS very windy when we played, so our scores were below expectations. But to be honest some fairways are so narrow even on another day it would be difficult to play our handicap.
We loved every minute of it.

Course weather and price were unbeatable! Check in was seamless, clubs and cart waiting for me....no driving range but a net. Course was perfect and the greens were fast!!

This is a nice time of year for mountain golf. The crowds have thinned out; but unfortunately so have the pace of play staff. The greens at Squaw Creek were in really nice shape and rolled fast and true; they were also receptive to approach shots. Kudos to the staff.
One slow group of young "hotshots" kind of blemished the experience with slow play. A foursome of ladies was four holes ahead of them with a 15 minute head start. I would recommend this course and plan to play it again. Very nice layout.

This course starts off in the wooded mountainside and ends up like a links course. It's tight at the beginning but opens up in the end. They give you a yardage book which helps a lot if you have never played there. Like any course, the second time around would be easier by knowing the distances from hazards and green layout. The terrain and mountain scenery make this place special.

Bring lots of balls. Narrow fairways, lots of carries and lots of trouble. Nice views. The course was not crowded and the staff is very accommodating. (With the possible exception of the person at the pro shop who checked me in. Both times I was in the shop I was the only person there but I almost felt like I was bothering her.) Everyone else at the resort is really great. My kudos to the starter who really took great care of me and yes, she was a women. They also have a cart "boy". You have to love a golf course where gender doesn't matter.

This is one of the most beautiful courses in the Lake Tahoe, Reno area. Their are great views of Squaw Valley on almost every hole. It was a good value for the price we paid.

The course design is very tight. Club selection is tee and driver is rarely needed. Course management is the key criteria to be successful at this course.

Also, there is no driving range at the course, just a net. Come ready to play.

My brother in law and I had an overall great experience. Free valet, they carried our clubs to the starter. Putting green definitely a must before hitting the course to find your speed. Course was in amazing shape! Plus, not only are the views of the surrounding mountains spectacular, we saw a coyote too!

Course could be more friendly if there was another front tee box. Too hard to carry for short distance hitter on some of the holes.

It is a great course to test your skills. You need to use your head to play it finesse is the key be patient. It is not a power course unless you have great control. I enjoy it every time. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

The Links at Squaw Creek is a very challenging course and was in excellent condition when I played. Squaw Valley makes a great backdrop for the course, with stunning views. Greens were supreme, fairways were very good. This course is TIGHT. Not much room for driver and requires strong shotmaking skills.

Tough course. The toughest I ever played. Lost a lot of balls. the course is made for the skilled shotmaker. good shots go unrewarded. The high handicapped player would really struggle on this course. If I were to play it again, it would be for the views and the facilities. Beautiful property

I Played this course for less than half of the normal rate. Conditions were not ideal as it was very windy and it did rain a little bit but it was still a good round of golf. It is a hard course as some of the other reviews have said but that just makes it more fun in my opinion. I will be returning!

This course was challenging but fun. And in a beautiful settimg. I don't reccomend this course to the average player though. Its a very narrow course and the rough is very thick. If you miss the fairway you are in trouble. The majority of the holed are in the wetlands and if you miss the fairways you will have a difficult time finding your ball it the high grass and wetland areas.Most of the par 3s are difficult because they are long with forced carry.if you are a single digit handicap you will enjoy the challenge. But if not you are in for a long day and a lot of lost balls. Great value though on golfnow.

I don't understand how this course rates a 3. My rating of 5 is partly a result of how much it exceeded my expectations.

I'm a bogey golfer, and I had a great time out there. I just had to take less risks than usual to stay on the fairways. No big deal. Yup, I lost some balls but no more than normal.

There is one par three on the back nine that requires an accurate shot or you might be in the drink or high grass. The rest of the course just required care for me and I had a fun time.

I didn't eat here but I assume it's pretty good fare at the resort.

Intermediate and advanced golfers will enjoy the challenge and beautiful surroundings. Not recommended for beginners.

Narrow fairways, blind shots, black hole ruffs. Don't hit off the fairway, you'll never find your ball. Bring lots of balls.
