Ponderosa Golf Course may have a short layout but it features the challenges of a full-length championship course. The golf course sprawls across mountainous terrain that provides plenty of elevation changes throughout. The fairways are lined with towering trees and the greens are undulating, making accuracy a top priority in doing well. There are two dogleg holes and one hole has an elevated green to watch out for. There are also bunkers scattered throughout. The golf course provides excellent short game practice as well as being a great round for beginning to intermediate players. Ponderosa Golf Course also has practice facilities for golfers to use including chipping and putting greens and driving nets.

Nice Course For Anyone

First time playing this course. It was in very nice shape, fairways were great, greens were in very good shape, sand bunkers could use some work as well as the tee boxes. #9 was the hole I liked. Tee shot had to cut as it was a dogleg right. Second shot had a tree middle of fairway, you have to go left of it, nice set-up. I think it is one of the better 9 hole courses I have played and I have played a lot of them. One thing I have to say, I got $10 off a hot deal so to play it was $30 for 9 holes walking.

Nice 9 Hole Course

This course is in very good shape. The greens are pretty slow so you have to get used to the speed, but they are fair if you can muster the courage to hit the putts hard enough, Nits a nice setting and we were able to play in 1-1/2 hrs.

Pondy

Had a great time at pondy early season. Got a great rate on golf now. We walked an early morning nine. It was beautiful. The past was quick, we were done in less then two hrs. The greens were a little slow, but that was kinda fun too. Thanks Pondy!

Enjoyable and good price

Great course for the price. Greens recovering from a tough winter. They were a bit slow and bumpy but in remarkably good shape.

Great Deal for Truckee Area

This was a great deal not necessarily because of the golf course or the amenities but more of where the course is (Truckee, Ca.). The course was in a reasonably good condition considering the awesome amount of snow the area has had this past winter. The online TeeOff / GolfNow Pass member deal was exceptional especially since I was able to use one of my monthly award discounts. This is always a great 9 hole to play when in Truckee. Reasonably easy walking experience, one legitimate 5 par, two par 3s the rest par 4s. Check out the online deals especially in the early AM.

Ponderosa

Greens were very slow like putting on shag carpet. Fairways are in good shape. Everything is nice and green.
Staff would not honor the greens fees agreement on Golf Now charging us an extra $15 per golfer over the original greens fees. Walking only.

No Better Deal Than This

Great course to play 9. Mostly par 4's which is perfect for my daughter and myself. Scenery is pretty, course is well-kept and easily walkable, except one steep hill on the 3rd hole. I really enjoy playing this course and it's a great value for the money.

Perfect Course for All Players

We played here three times during our vacation. Great for us because it is affordable, three sets of pins, one set was 300 yards, the other was 150-175 yards. As a beginning female player, I appreciate this. Lovely course, good location, good experience. Thanks!
