The Truckee region is difficult for golf courses because of the winters harsh weather so when courses struggle, its usually all of them in the area. Heavy frost for example.

All in al the tee boxes were horrific, some greens were still not good and there was plenty of weed growth throughout the course playing areas. Since the back 9 has a lot of trees, its expected to take longer to mature as there is a lot of shade.

The front nine layout is similar to a muni course in the flat lands. Less shade but still not looking good.

The back nine is corky and short because there isn't enough room for a full length golf course. Some hoes on the back nine are tight with trees and doglegs causing your to iron to this spot then turn and iron to that spot. You'll be using irons on almost every tee on the back 9.

It's like playing two very very different 9 hole courses. I've played here for years because we live in the area and my spouse likes the short length. For the golf in this area, Northstar is the lowest rates in my opinion.

I was a little disappointed that they removed trees that were in play. They opened up some landing areas and opened up room around some greens.

Greens were not completely grown out but on their way to looking good. As a previous member, the greens needed to be redone, they were sloping real badly. Glad this was done.

Some fairways were not looking good, dandelions and weeds are growing badly, even the first tee was filled with dandelions?

This course is a great fun play with elevations and challenging holes. The renovation was not as good as I had hoped, but still overall this is a good track.

To be fair, there is still a lot of growth going on with the new areas and that will improve over the year.

They will need a lot of water, many hot spots already showing on the new surfaces.

Customer service and the restaurant are top notch.

Course is great for a shorty, some tee boxes are best up with many hitting irons creating divots. No sand on tee boxes?

Pro shop staff wasn't pleasant at all, maybe because they were asking $70 and golfnow was asking $50? Either way, they surely weren't happy to see us for some reason.

Marshal was a nice man.

Greens and fairways were in excellent condition and all the sand traps were very well maintained.

Great course to practice irons.

Price is always high at Incline, even on this short course. However, you can't really find a better 18 hole short course than this one!

They appears to be 2 different sizes of greens. Some are small and some are larger, appear to be different. Maybe the course is changing them over time?

Overall the course was in great shape. Since it is a very challenging course, foursomes can be very very slow. Beginners will take a long time to finish this track.

I think Tahoe Donners problem is they so badly want to be a private country club but that seems impossible considering their neighbors are Coyote Moon, Grey's Corssing and Old Greenwood. Those courses are in much better shape and not private. The price was ok, the course was pretty good. Some holes were a bit strange but not anything out of control Over all, not a bad place to play a round of golf. Tight fairways and fast greens,
