First time to Lake Tahoe and as I was driving to the Hotel - I drove by the course and from what I saw from the street, I knew I wanted to play the course! Confirmed that feeling even more when other out-of-towners complemented the course too. So I got a last minute Saturday (9/4/10) twilight tee time out (finished in perfect time).

Once you step out onto the first hole - you'll know - the combination of the sport with nature's beauty is almost harmonious.

Greens were consistently fast (other than Hole 7 - which probably does not get much light all day). Fairways were well taken cared of; roughs are challenging but forgiving.
Hole 3 was my favorite throughout the day - Par 5, dogleg right, with the green elevated and encompassed by a forest. - UNTIL I saw the approach shot on 16 and the par 3 17! (Jokingly gives new meaning to water hazard on the right side of 17).

I can not possibly see how anyone would not like the course - certainly worth the time and money. Although there are certainly other courses in the area that I would like to try (Check out North Tahoe) - if somebody asked me to play Edgewood again - I wouldn't think twice.
