Played 9/9/2015. 9:30 tee time, temp in 70's, no wind to speak of. Pretty ideal playing conditions.

Expensive tourist course with great views of Lake Tahoe. Fall rate is $200; course closes for winter on October 11th this year.

Course condition just about perfect. Greens quite firm, quite fast and hard to putt due to their size and speed. Entire course slopes down the hill to the lake -- affects break and speed of putts both uphill and downhill.

Fairways are quite wide and lots of bunkers. What water there is is along the sides of the fairways -- no holes that require carry over water to reach the green. Also lots of pine trees and pine needles in the rough. Two holes have large pine trees in the middle of the fairway.

Class A- amenities. Ice chest on carts with comp water and apples. No ball washer/club cleaner on carts. No towels -- bring you own. Range, putting green and chipping area are all good -- grass (no mats) on range; balls included in green fees (as they should be).


Electric carts with great GPS. According to the starter, each green has six hole locations, each of which are programmed into the GPS. So the GPS shows the distance to that day's hole location as well as front and back yardage and the yardage up to and to carry fairway bunkers.

Large pro shop and vary large restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining with great lake view. Even if you don't want to pay two bills for a round of golf, excellent choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

So, I have never paid $200 for a round of golf for a lot of reasons. I still won't, unless I am playing edgewood. I have always wanted to play this course and now that I have, I want to again. Let me ... Continue »

So, I have never paid $200 for a round of golf for a lot of reasons. I still won't, unless I am playing edgewood. I have always wanted to play this course and now that I have, I want to again. Let me tell you why... The course is BEAUTIFUL. I have never played a course that can hold a candle to this one. Lake Tahoe is in view from almost every hole. The grass is great, the greens roll true, the range is great, the chipping area is great, the putting green is great. Every hole offers something unique. Every hole is memorable and I often caught myself just spacing out looking around. The conditions were perfect and the only complaint I have is something most courses dont have anyways... I want a smaller sand to carry since I am a carry walker. I hate leaving divots with nothing to repair them with. The best part of this course is, it is a fair test for your average golfer. The course is a faders course and since most amateurs miss right, it gives you the chance to shoot a decent score. Sorry Classic Club, you've been replaced.

Excellent course great service from clubhouse to starter's. Bunkers were pristine fairways perfect, some bare spots in the rough but mostly thick and penal. A must play when in town.

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.

I enjoyed a vacation in Lake Tahoe last week and played Edgewood Tahoe on July 7. A really outstanding golf course worth the $200 green fee. As others have mentioned, the views of the lake on the back nine are beautiful, but more importantly, the course is well laid out and in perfect condition. I think it might have been in prime shape because of next week’s Celebrity Tour event. It’s going to be fun watching on TV as Charles Barkley and the others play the same holes I played.

Back to the course… Tees, fairway and rough were green and lush. Sand was soft and deep. All but two of the greens were fast. The starter said number eight and number 15 had been recently replaced and were spongier than the other greens. I did one-putt both those greens, probably because they were a bit slower.

Service was outstanding. Everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful. As a single, they tried to pair me with a husband and wife teeing off on number one, but the wife had requested that they play alone. The starter was real good about it and asked me whether I wanted to play by myself or wait for another group. Meanwhile, I’m hitting balls on the grass range and enjoying the scenery. The starter comes back to me a few minutes later and asks me whether I would like to join a threesome coming up to number 10 and play the back nine first. I was ready to go and was pleased to join a group of locals who play the course regularly.

After a fun back nine, I came around to number one and the starter said I had the front nine to myself as no one else was on the course… That was actually a lot of fun. I got around the front nine in an hour-and-a-half, and completed the entire round in three-and-a-half hours.

Throughout the round, along with the beautiful scenery, it was cool seeing the stands and camera towers in place for next week’s event. I even received some applause from the set-up crew as I sank a par putt on my final hole, number nine. If you happen to vacation in Tahoe, I highly recommend playing Edgewood Tahoe.

Played 8/21. The conditions of the course were excellent. The greens were smooth, held shots, and the speed was medium/fast. The fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes were in great shape. The rough was good and at a reasonable length but it really grabbed the club.

The course is very challenging. Water hazards, large pines, and plenty of fairway and green side bunkers. The price I paid for prime time summer weekend is up there but I wasn't disappointed. The staff at Edgewood Tahoe is wonderful. The course does offer a caddy option but I found the GPS to be enough. One disappointing thing about many high priced courses is they frequently seem to have 1 to 3 holes that are gimmicky and/or poorly designed. This was NOT the case at Edgewood Tahoe. Aside from the spectacular views the course is solid. It has a nice mix of short to long par 4s and par 3s. A few holes were fairly basic but not one did I think was poor.

Whether paying $200 plus to play golf is worth it, that is your call. For me, considering I was on vacation, the course is not close to home, and it is a quality course with great staff, it was worth playing.

Before playing this course I thought it was all about the views. I'd heard all the hype about being on the edge of Lake Tahoe and how beautiful the scenery was. So imagine my surprise when I find that this is a very solid golf course! Yes, the views were spectacular. But if this course were stuck in the middle of nowhere, without any decent scenery, it would still hold up as a very good golf course. The conditions were very good as you would expect, since you do pay a hefty greens fee to play Edgewood. The bunkers had the best sand I've ever hit from. It was nice actually having the club move through the sand without bottoming out on rocks underneath as we're so accustomed to in desert courses. The greens were fast, true, and held shots. There is a very nice mix of long and short par 3's . . straight and dogleg par 4's . .elevated teeboxes and greens throughout the course. The pace of play was great. It was busy, but the tee times are spread far enough so there was never any waiting on anyone ahead, or rushing to avoid the people behind. The customer service was second to none! I'll definately play this course again when in the Tahoe area. Oh . . did I mention . . the scenery and views are spectacular!
