Ponderosa Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fun and relaxing golf
This is a fun course for intermediate golfers. There are some long par 4’s and the uphill par 3 is challenging. The fairways are wide and well kept. We played late morning on a holiday and had no problems booking a time. Play was fast and we were allowed out as a twosome. I really enjoyed playing this course.
Nice nine hole course
Course is good for the average golfer. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff was excellent and really helped in making it a very experience
Excellent course
This was my first time playing at Ponderosa golf course. It is a challenging and top notch nine hole course that you will enjoy. The fairways and greens are in great condition! The pace of play at 7am was ideal. The staff is friendly and professional.
Great Tahoe golf and experience.
Great Tahoe golf and experience.
Beautiful convenient course to play nine holes
Will be back next time I visit Donner Lake
Went to Donner Lake for a weekend getaway and wanted to play golf. Found this gem of a course! I must say the fairways and greens were in excellent condition. They just had a new arrigation system put in a year ago and looks like it's really paid off. Fairways were green and luscious and perfectly cut. I didn't have my own clubs so had to rent...$20, which was a bummer and I wish this place was 18 holes! That's my only criticism of this place. I'll definitely be back!
Great, reasonably priced, 9 hole course
Nice municipal course; very friendly staff; good pace and fair pricing.
Nice 9 hole coursew
This course offers 9 or 18 holes. They have pull carts and drive carts. Front staff is very friendly. Course recently went through an irrigation upgrade and is much improved over the past few years.
Great value for the money
This is a one of the best night nine hole courses I’ve played that gives you your monies worth it is we’ll maintained and gives you enough of a challenge to keep you coming back.
Best family fun
Had a blast playing with my kids.
Low rating on course condition only temporary because irrigation system being redone.
Low amenities score due to Covid 19 restrictions.
