Golf Lake Tahoe Your Way
Lake Tahoe golf splits into two distinct zones that play completely differently. South Shore: Edgewood is lakefront, exposed, and photogenic — the finishing holes are among the most memorable in American public golf. Truckee and North Tahoe: Old Greenwood, Coyote Moon, and Gray's Crossing are tucked into dense pine forest with zero lake visibility but dramatically different terrain — granite outcrops, elevation changes, and a quieter, more wilderness feel. Most groups benefit from playing at least one course from each zone. Incline Village on the Nevada side sits between the two — lake views from the fairways, mountain golf conditions. September and October are the best-kept secret in Tahoe golf: same courses, 15–25% lower pricing, and almost no weekend crowds.
Sean's Take on Lake Tahoe Golf
“Tahoe is bucket-list golf — period. Edgewood's finishing holes along the lake are the reason most groups call us in the first place. Old Greenwood and Coyote Moon in Truckee are our Jack Nicklaus and hidden-gem pair. Incline Village on the north shore is the only place you'll get true Tahoe lake vistas from a Nevada-side course. Book 60–90 days out for peak season — these tee times don't sit on the shelf.”

What is the best golf course at Lake Tahoe?+
Edgewood Tahoe is widely considered the best golf course at Lake Tahoe — a 7,519-yard championship layout on the South Shore with lakefront holes and home of the American Century Celebrity Championship. For a more secluded alpine round, Coyote Moon Golf Course in Truckee is ranked Top 100 Public Courses in America. Incline Village offers two championship layouts at 6,500+ feet with dramatic Sierra Nevada views. GTHS matches each group to the right course based on skill level and budget.
How much does it cost to play golf at Lake Tahoe?+
Lake Tahoe golf green fees range from around $75 at Lake Tahoe Golf Course to $350+ at Edgewood Tahoe. Coyote Moon runs $165–$250 depending on season. Incline Village Championship Course is $195–$295. Old Greenwood (Jack Nicklaus design) is $175–$250. Group rates booked through Golf the High Sierra are typically 10–20% below rack rate, and mid-week tee times reduce costs further.
Is Edgewood Tahoe open to the public?+
Yes — Edgewood Tahoe is open to the public with no private membership required. The course is located on the South Shore in Stateline, NV, adjacent to Edgewood Tahoe Resort. Peak-season summer tee times book out 60–90 days in advance for groups. Golf the High Sierra holds tee time blocks and can often secure dates unavailable to direct bookers.
What is the easiest golf course at Lake Tahoe?+
Lake Tahoe Golf Course on the South Shore is the most accessible public course in the area, playing around 6,700 yards through meadows along the Upper Truckee River. It is the best option for higher-handicap golfers or mixed-skill groups. Incline Village Mountain Course is also more forgiving than the Championship layout.
How difficult are the Lake Tahoe golf courses?+
Lake Tahoe courses span a wide difficulty range. Edgewood Tahoe plays 7,519 yards from the tips at 6,200 feet elevation — challenging for high handicappers, particularly with altitude affecting distance. Coyote Moon and Old Greenwood are both demanding layouts with significant elevation changes and tight landing zones. Incline Village Championship is the most difficult on the Nevada side. For mixed-skill groups, Lake Tahoe Golf Course (South Shore) and Incline Village Mountain Course are the most accessible options. GTHS matches each group to the right combination based on handicap range — a 20-handicap group and a scratch group get different course recommendations.
What is the difference between South Shore and North Shore Lake Tahoe golf?+
South Shore (Stateline, NV / South Lake Tahoe, CA): Edgewood Tahoe is the flagship — lakefront, exposed to wind, the most visually dramatic course in the region. Lake Tahoe Golf Course is also South Shore, more accessible, through meadow terrain. South Shore lodging is casino-based (Harrah's, Caesars Republic, Margaritaville). North Shore and Truckee (45 min north): Old Greenwood, Coyote Moon, Gray's Crossing, and Northstar are all forest golf — dense pines, granite boulders, no lake views from the fairways but dramatically different terrain. Lodging is mountain-style (Old Greenwood cottages, Hampton Inn Truckee). Incline Village sits between both zones on the Nevada north shore — lake views, mountain conditions. Most multi-day trips combine at least one South Shore and one Truckee course.
How far in advance should I book Lake Tahoe golf courses?+
Edgewood Tahoe fills fastest — 60–90 days ahead for July and August peak season, 4–6 months for groups of 20+. Old Greenwood and Coyote Moon book 30–60 days out for summer. Incline Village and Gray's Crossing have more availability and can often be secured 2–3 weeks out in shoulder season. September and October bookings can typically be confirmed within 2–4 weeks. For full stay-and-play packages including lodging, see our Lake Tahoe golf packages page — room blocks at casino resorts require earlier commitment than tee times alone.
Are Lake Tahoe golf courses still open in September and October 2026?+
Yes. Most Lake Tahoe golf courses are open through late October 2026 depending on weather. Edgewood Tahoe, Incline Village, Old Greenwood, Coyote Moon, and Gray's Crossing typically run through October. September and October are excellent value months — tee times are more available, pricing is 15–25% below peak summer rates, and conditions are often at their best as summer crowds thin. Golf the High Sierra can confirm exact close dates for any course when building your fall quote.
Can I book a Lake Tahoe golf trip for 2027?+
Yes — Golf the High Sierra is now taking 2027 group reservations for Lake Tahoe. Edgewood Tahoe and the Truckee courses (Old Greenwood, Coyote Moon) book out fastest for July and August. Groups planning 2027 summer dates should reach out before December 2026 to secure preferred tee times and hotel room blocks. Off-peak 2027 dates (May, June, September, October) have more flexibility.
