Lake Tahoe
Genoa Lakes Lakes Course
Carson Valley / mountain-view public golf
Genoa Lakes is a practical pressure valve. Use it when price, availability, or South Shore routing makes sense. Do not sell it as the Tahoe headline.

Well kept secret, first time golfing here, the course was in great shape. The staff greeted us and provided great customer service. It's a very scenic course.
The one thing I noticed were the sand bunkers needed to be worked on. They were very compact and very wet. Luckily I did

A little slice of heaven. I've been golfing here for a few years its calm peaceful setting is a delight, and the employees are very welcoming. The course is fun but challenging.

What a beautiful golf course! Played Lakes course today, not easy by any means, but in great condition and the setting with all the aspens turning colour is pretty spectacular. Staff were really nice and welcoming. Rental clubs were immaculate and high end. We’re visiting from Fl
