Lake Tahoe
Edgewood Tahoe
Lakefront mountain resort
Edgewood is the famous one for a reason. Holes 16 through 18 finally put Lake Tahoe in the round instead of just near it. Just do not pretend the whole course is 18 holes of shoreline theater. It is the trophy round, not the entire Tahoe golf argument.

The iconic Tahoe round, lakefront scenery, and groups wanting the celebrity-championship stage
Watch out
Cost, demand, construction around event spaces through early 2027, and the fact that not all 18 holes sit on the lake

The golf course is first class. The conditions were as pure as anywhere I have ever played. We had beautiful weather and could not have asked for a better day. The finishing holes 16-18 have got to be up there for the best finishing 3 in the US. Beautifully designed. It played 6,

Attended the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament here. It's a fun event where you see many celebrities from TV, film, and sports. The course itself is beautifully set along the shores of Lake Tahoe, surrounded by majestic alpine trees.
