Tom Fazio Course
Martis Camp Club




About this course
Martis Camp Club's Tom Fazio course sits in the forested terrain of the Sierra Nevada near Truckee, California, at an elevation of approximately 6,000 feet. Opened in 2007, the course represents one of Fazio's mountain designs, routed through stands of Jeffrey pine, fir, and aspen across rolling topography that reflects the region's glacial history. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and incorporates the area's granite outcroppings and seasonal streams into the design. The course plays as a private club amenity within the larger Martis Camp development, which also features a second course designed by the Coore & Crenshaw firm. Fazio's routing emphasizes playability across varied skill levels while working with the constraints of mountain golf—limited growing seasons, altitude effects on ball flight, and integration with the surrounding forest ecosystem. The design includes strategic bunkering and green complexes that reflect Fazio's characteristic attention to visual presentation and shot values. Martis Camp operates as a family-oriented private club with a range of recreational amenities beyond golf. The property lies between Lake Tahoe and the town of Truckee, positioning it within a region known for both winter sports and summer mountain recreation. The course typically opens from late spring through mid-autumn, depending on snowmelt and weather patterns at elevation.

Getting there
The gateway to Martis Camp Club is Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), a straightforward forty-minute drive northwest into the Sierra Nevada foothills above Lake Tahoe's north shore. Private arrivals often favor Truckee Tahoe Airport, a discreet facility tucked into the mountains just ten minutes from the club gates, where the altitude and alpine setting announce themselves immediately upon descent. The final miles trace Highway 267 as it climbs through Jeffrey pine and fir, then turns onto quiet residential lanes where the forest thickens and the air sharpens, delivering members to Martis Camp's understated entrance - a threshold between the public Tahoe corridor and one of the region's most coveted private retreats.
