Overview
In the mid-2000s, Kyle Phillips renovated this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design just as he did at Spain’s famed Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup. Make sure that you’re in control of your start line on your tee shots, as stately pines guard many of the tees and fairways. The course features a blend of doglegs moving in each direction, often severely. At over 6,000 feet elevation, the ball flies roughly 10 percent further than at sea level.

Review
“Set above Lake Tahoe, the Championship Course at Incline Village is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that marries mountain scenery with strategy. The layout moves through tall pines, with bold elevation changes on the front nine and more refined creek, protected holes on the inward stretch. Conditioning is excellent, smooth, quick greens and firm fairways are highlighted throughout the round. Despite its modest green fees, the course feels every bit like a premier mountain venue. Thoughtful architecture and amazing views make this one of Nevada’s most rewarding and beautifully framed public courses."

“Fun course with beautiful tree lined holes. Cant hit driver every hole, need to think about your second shots. No mesmerizing par 3s but really good mix of holes and routing through the property. Greens manageable and not overly difficult, but fair."
