Getting better I guess

I came here with super low expectations since all the reviews talk about how bad the fairways are and generally how bad the conditions are. I thought the course was in good condition with green fairways, plenty of grass everywhere, flat tee boxes, and overall well groomed. Greens were slow but I wasn’t out for an important round so I didn’t mind… with new ownership I believe they’ll have those greens rolling fast before the end of the year. If you’re local and haven’t played here since it went downhill I suggest you give it another shot. Pro shop is undergoing renovations and I saw lots of workers all around the course busy making changes. I was pleasantly surprised. Design wise I felt that despite the flat nature of the course, the green slopes were tricky and the length was no joke. Next time I’m in the area I’ll play again. FYI: restaurant is currently only open on weekends but pro shop has some beer and sodas for sale, nothing at the turn so buy beforehand.

Still a solid track, just a bit dry

Plays well despite the dryness… if you’re not in the fairway then you should be punished anyway, but you won’t find thick rough with current water cost and drought restrictions. Course was still fun, greens rolled true and looked healthy.

Usually not worth it but current conditions are great!

If you can get a hot deal or other discounted green fee then now is the time to play Diablo creek. Greens are moving and feel true, fairways and tee boxes are lush.

Layout is still uninspired, but the back 9 offers some tight fairways and longer approaches for a decent challenge.

Usually not worth the money but with more daylight and cheaper rates it’s worth it now, conditions are good.

Good condition right now!

Greens rolled true and we’re pretty quick. Grass was looking nice in most fairways and around greens.

Only complaint was our cart wasn’t equipped with sand/seed mix so we couldn’t fill divots...

Immaculate course and beautiful setting

The course is in perfect condition, probably best condition I’ve ever experienced on any golf course. Fairways are lush and even, as though they went out and measured each blade of grass... tee boxes were great, all the different cuts of grass were clear and consistent. Greens had small patches of inconsistent grain but I felt they rolled very true and indeed my putter was the best club in my bag that day. I’ll definitely be back. I can’t stress enough how well maintained the course is.

Still a good spot

Pretty dry conditions right now, ball is rolling! Great afternoon round, it wasn’t super fast at first but sped up after the first 5 holes. Limited food & beverage which was weak, but it’s understandable. Greens were decently quick but slightly still recovering from aeration. By now they are probably perfect. Always like coming back to Tilden

Living in it's sibling's shadow

This isn't a bad course at all, but for the same price, I can go across the freeway to the sister course Rancho Solano and get a better deal. If Paradise Valley was the only course in the area, I believe it would be a great option. As it is however, there's no reason to choose this over Ranco... Conditions are better, and the layout is much more memorable.

Great Course - first time playing

Loved the layout of this course, every hole has something to it, except maybe #4. There was some challenging element on every hole even though we played from the white tees. Decent amount of forced carries, and water hazards are in play throughout the course. Not my first choice for forgiveness and learning, but for a regular golfer this course offered something refreshing.

Be ready to hit every club in your bag, and I wouldn't recommend walking it.

Solid course

I was skeptical about coming back to the east course, I generally haven't held it in the most positive memories... but we had a great round today. The course layout was refreshing since I hadn't played here in quite a while and I wasn't used to it. Unfortunately the greens are sandy after aerification so they weren't in the best condition for scoring and a number of tee boxes need leveling. Otherwise the course was in good shape and played well.

Still got it - always enjoy coming back here

Greens had been punched within the last week or two, so putting felt like lawn bowling, but overall the course was in great shape and our group had a really fun round. Will certainly be coming back again in the near future.

Still underrated

This was my second time playing here, and my first was about a month ago. I had originally come to play with low expectations since so many reviews were negative. I was very happy to find that the course was much better than the reviews would lead you to believe. This time playing here was even better than the first time. I will concede that some tee boxes were a little rough, and some fairways were slightly patchy, but otherwise, the course was in great condition. I had a twilight time as a single, and blew through the course in 3 hours, even waiting on a few groups on a number of holes. I highly recommend this course, although be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag except your driver. Fairways are tight, and the links style really kicks your butt if you don't humble yourself. You have to lay up and be smart rather than hit long, and that makes for an interesting round. The setting in Olympic Valley at the foot of Squaw's ski peaks really makes for a beautiful backdrop.

My new favorite course - absolutely worth the money

I love playing golf in Tahoe, but this was the first time I got to play Incline, and I wasn't disappointed.

Everything about this course from start to finish is top notch and worth the money. Upon first glance, it appears to be like any other tree-lined mountainous course, however as you play through you begin to feel the difference. Each hole has something to it, and once you're done you feel like you've been on a real adventure. Having played Gray's Crossing two days prior, I was overwhelmingly pleased by how much better my experience was at Incline. The golf shop was brimming with a variety of quality products. Facility staff were easy to talk to despite the upscale atmosphere. I had a great time here and so will you. Highly recommended.

A little disappointed but greens are insanely fast!

In comparing this course to it's sister Old Greenwood, as well as other courses in the north Tahoe area, I have to say I was a little disappointed in the layout/design of the course. I came expecting the pretty views and vibe of Old Greenwood or Coyote Moon, but Gray's Crossing felt a little stale, or boring, as premium resort courses go. Use your money for a better value like Incline, Coyote Moon, Old Greenwood, Squaw or dare I say even Northstar.

Best feature of this course is that the greens were in excellent shape, and ridiculously fast. Pro tour fast, or at least what I imagine is pro speed... I can't remember the last time I had so many 3 putts!

Also, upon check in and payment I wasn't told my transaction total or even offered a receipt. I had to ask before leaving how much the round cost. I get it this place is posh, but what's wrong with normal communication?! Some people may think it's great, but for me, there are better options on the north shore.

Underrated!!!

I can't speak to previous reviews, they must have been written when the course was in bad shape. I was lucky and played the course when it was in great shape! I came expecting poor cheap muni course conditions and was extremely pleased to find that the tee boxes were in fine condition, greens were fast and true, and overall the course was playing really nicely (aside from my golf game). There was some construction/maintenance work being done on some of the holes, but that didn't bother us or make any difference really except that one hole's tee box was moved up to the reds. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend this course, especially for those currently in form and/or wanting a test of your accuracy.

Course is super tight, and although staff will tell you to ignore your driver, if you hit your driver 250 yds or less, you can use it on quite a number of holes. There are lots of forced carries, but as long as you stay disciplined and don't go for the long shot every time, you'll be fine.

Loved the links feel, great conditions despite covid, and would love to go back.

Not a bad place but needs work

I've golfed here a handful of times, and for me the only time it's worth it is if you can get a cheap hot deal on golfnow. Otherwise I don't really think the course quality and design warrants charging the regular price. Easy to walk.

Great Course - Super Difficult

Everything was great except my score. Course is very difficult and you will get punished for the most minor draws and fades. But when you do well here it's worth it haha. Course and facilities all top notch. I will be back although not too soon, my ego is still whimpering...

Great course and service!

marshal was out bringing fresh cold water to golfers... great service considering many courses have no water available on course to avoid contact points. Greens were difficult; fast but true. Entire course was in excellent condition!
