Pace of Play

Experience a very good pace of Play. I guess the relatively warm weather forecasted accounted for low demand, but the weather turned out to be confortable and calm. Our tee time was 1:45 pm and wind basically disappeared after three holes and the temperature never got out of the 70s.

Fun & Challenging

Though the course is challenging as is expected of a Faldo course it was fun. Played with some great folks and improved my bunker playing abilities. There are a lot of bunkers throughout the course. Though I avoided the bunkers the previous day, my 2nd day brought out the best of me playing from the bunkers.
The fairway grass was cut too low for my liking and the greens were fast. The hole locations meant you had to bring your putting game and put your putting skills to the test. Did good though I was using rental clubs.

Good Course Condition

Played the day after the charity golf tournament. Therefore, the course was in good condition, since it was evident that the course was well prepared for the tournament. The greens were groom and rolled providing uniform pace and/rolls.

A Tahoe Must

Lake Tahoe Golf Course is a mus play course especially holes #10, #11 & #12. The back nine (9) is where the game and challenges begin. The first 9 holes you'll be fooled into believing you'll be improve your handicap easily.

Current Course Condition

We'll I should have know after the Course Manager ignored my question regarding the course condition prior to arrival. The course condition was not great. The fairways were hard with very short grass and greens needs some work. I played at Las Vegas Golf Club the day before with much better course condition.

Hi "maxinskip" We apologize that the course was not up to par on the day you played. We are now going into season and the course conditions are improving. Please give us another try on your next trip from San Francisco.

Enjoyable Course

Though the course overall is in good, the sand traps are horrible. They are no sand, but clay

What a disappointment

Invited a friend from East Bay to play with me for the first time at the course. We were disappointed. The grass on the greens were like a "forest". The pace of the greens were all over the place and very inconsistent. The Marshal only rode around in cart and did not direct the playing pace. Basically, he was useless and the pace of play was like cross the Bay Bridge in commute hours.
For such as beautiful location and amazing views, it ashamed that there is little effort in maintaining the course at a high and inviting level. What a waste! The road through the gold course to the museum is awful. It's a shame that we are not taking advantage of such great location and making the course part of the tourist attraction. The entry to the course and its parking lot is so darn ugly is very unappealing. The Club house facility is in need of renovation. The bathroom facilities are awful and it appears the pipe insulation is asbestos containing.
I would vote a thousand times to put the course into the hands of a private entity and pay higher fees to play at this spectacular location. We need to take this facility out of the hands of the Park & Rec and City workers. They have no pride in their work and their value to actually make the course become revenue generator and self sufficient. Popular Creek in San Mateo is super compared to Lincoln Park. The worst resort course is of a higher standard than Lincoln Park.

Nice course for walking. The fairways were in great shape compared to other courses in the Bay Area. Had a lot of fun playing the course for the first

Fantastic first experience, though I only had one birdie.

The greens were fantastic, very tight, fast, even and smooth.

Though a comparatively short course with moderate difficulty, its very easy to make a lot of mistakes because it is not as easy as it looks.
Overall is a fun course and a spectacular 18th hole.
