Old Brockway Golf Course is a scenic nine-hole course that offers spectacular mountain vistas and panoramic views of Lake Tahoe. The charming landscape is sprinkled with towering Jeffrey pines, meadows, and meandering streams. It was the first nine-hole course in the country to become certified as an Audubon cooperative sanctuary. The classic layout features tight fairways and postage stamp greens, putting a premium on accuracy and careful strategy. Bunkers and water hazards provide even more challenged. Old Brockway Golf Course has always been a local favorite and it has been host to countless celebrity golfers including Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Joe Kennedy.

First Time Playing

A bit pricey for a 9 hole track

Well maintained interesting layout with rolling fairways, mature trees and scenic views. Greens are pretty slow but just as well since there are a lot of contours and tiers and not many straight putts. Not worth the $70 18 rate to play the same 9 twice. Catch the twilight, offseason, or just go 9 just to say you played the original home of Bing Crosby's "clambake"event before it went to Pebble Beach. The clubhouse should play that history up more with some kind of old photo display, books, artifacts.

Beautiful scenery

Great 9 hole layout, surprisingly long, with a couple of surprises for 1st time players. Snow has only been gone a couple of weeks and 2 of the greens show it, but otherwise in good condition. Views on last four holes are extraordinary! Mountain Mo's Cafe was also a pleasant surprise.

Like a Walk in the Park

This course is in the North Lake Tahoe area & the surrounding scenery makes this a must play course. It is only 9 holes but I recommend you play the white tees the first time around and the black tees the second time around. The course is nice enough and challenging enough for the good guys but for us hackers, just take the extra shot and enjoy the scenery.
