Championship at Incline Village Golf Courses - Championship Course

The Championship Course at Incline Village, a fixture of Lake Tahoe's north shore, presents a compelling challenge forged from High Sierra mountain golf and the vision of Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the late 1960s. This mature, parkland-style course is sculpted along rolling terrain dotted with towering pines, demanding strategic play and rewarding thoughtful approaches. Its generous fairways often belie the challenges that await on the undulating greens, making precise iron play essential for scoring well.

Jones' design philosophy is evident in the strategic bunkering and cleverly placed water hazards that frame many of the holes. A later refresh by his son, Robert Trent Jones Jr., ensured the course retains its classic character while incorporating modern agronomic practices. While it may not boast the pedigree of a major championship venue, the Championship Course has long been a favored site for regional amateur events and boasts a loyal following among discerning golfers who appreciate its playability and stunning natural setting.

The club’s relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere extends beyond the course itself. Informal matches and gatherings on the patio are common, underscoring the community spirit that defines Incline Village. The snack shop’s legendary hot dog – a simple yet satisfying post-round staple – has become a beloved tradition among members and visitors alike.
