Located high in the Sierra among towering pines and meandering creeks, Tahoe Donner Golf Club is a scenic mountain course that is a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program. The front nine of the golf course moves clockwise while the back nine moves in reverse, providing an interesting change of pace. The unique layout features narrow fairways that are lined with trees and large, undulating greens that putt true and fast. There are bunkers strategically placed throughout and a water hazard comes into play on the last hole. Dramatic elevation changes afford views of the mountainous countryside and the abundant wildlife that call Tahoe Donner Golf Club home.

Bad Start

Loved this course, challenging, in great shape,
nice people, BUT pace of play gets downgraded, actually due to starter apparently first allowing a foursome of apparent members to go out THREE MINUTES BEFORE my scheduled tee time and we were a twosome. AND this group chose to play extremely slow, not keeping sight of the foursome in front of them and not allowing us to play through. Where's the marshal when you need them? I should also say things got better when weather turned a little threatening (thunder with a fear of lightning) and many left the course. This was as we reached the turn, so things were much better on the back nine although I did get a little wet as the final six hoiles were played in a steady drizzle. (thus, the wet weather rating)

Good Course (not great.) Terrible Head Pro.

Like the title says. Good course. Tight and lots of elevation. However, the head pro (Jeff Hwang) ruined the experience for our group. We witnessed him berate a guest and then try to talk poorly about them to us. Not sure what his deal was but our groups will not longer play here.

Nice layout but overpriced for conditions

I like the layout but it needs to grow in. Greens slower than I thought they would be. Needs a couple of years after renovations

The Views!

The greens were long but in excellent shape. Fairways still need a couple of weeks to fill in from the hard winter. The layout and views from the course were awesome!
