OLD BROCKWAY GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Tahoe Vista, CA, USA
Designed by John Duncan Dunn


Old Brockway Golf Course occupies a scenic stretch along the north shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoe Vista, California. Designed by John Duncan Dunn and opened in 1924, the course represents one of the earliest golf developments in the Tahoe Basin. Dunn, a Scottish-born architect active in California during the 1920s, routed the layout to take advantage of the natural terrain and lake views that characterize this part of the Sierra Nevada.
The course plays as a nine-hole layout, typical of many resort and mountain courses from this era. The property sits at approximately 6,200 feet elevation, where the high-altitude setting affects both ball flight and playing conditions. The routing incorporates mature pines and the rolling topography common to the region, with several holes offering glimpses of Lake Tahoe through the trees. The compact design reflects the constraints of mountain golf, where available flat land and the surrounding forest dictate hole corridors.
Old Brockway serves primarily as a public facility, providing accessible golf in an area known more for its recreational tourism than year-round golf. The course operates seasonally due to heavy winter snowfall typical of the Tahoe region. Its historical continuity and location near the lake make it a modest but enduring part of the area's golf landscape, offering a straightforward mountain golf experience without the length or difficulty of modern championship designs.
