Edgewood Tahoe at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course

Edgewood Tahoe isn't simply a golf course; it’s a stage where legends are written against the backdrop of Lake Tahoe's breathtaking grandeur. Carved into the Sierra Nevada landscape in 1968, this George Fazio design, later refined by his nephew Tom, presents a deceptively gentle challenge. While seemingly wide and forgiving, the generous fairways belie strategically placed bunkers and the ever-present influence of the mountain air on club selection. A player who can manage their ball flight and distance control with the altitude change will do well here.

The course's most celebrated stretch hugs the shoreline of Lake Tahoe, offering unparalleled views and demanding precision as the wind whips off the water. These lakeside holes have witnessed dramatic moments in the American Century Championship, an annual celebrity golf tournament that draws a lively crowd and infuses Edgewood with a unique, lighthearted atmosphere. The event, broadcast nationally, showcases not only the course's beauty but also its playability for golfers of varying skill levels.

While not steeped in the tradition of major championship golf, Edgewood Tahoe holds a distinctive place in the golfing landscape. It's a haven for those seeking a memorable round in a stunning setting. A post-round drink on the clubhouse patio, overlooking the sparkling lake, is as integral to the Edgewood experience as navigating its undulating greens. The club is known for its exceptional hospitality, and its relaxed, inclusive environment fosters a sense of community among members and guests alike.
