Looking to play a round of the “Greatest Game on Earth” during your visit to Lake Tahoe? We are fortunate to have some of the world’s most beautiful golf courses right here in Tahoe. Both the north and south shores offer many breathtaking courses, as well as some of the neighboring Tahoe areas. Most courses open in the late spring and stay open into October. The summer season offers the best playing conditions with consistently sunny and warm weather, and both late spring and early autumn offer cooler temperatures (often with discounted rates).

Edgewood Tahoe
Our most famous golf course in Lake Tahoe would most definitely be Edgewood Tahoe. Famed for its the annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament where celebrities (sports players, Olympians, musicians, and actors) come to play for charity every July; locals and tourists alike flock to this event to catch a glimpse, or even snag an autograph, from their favorite sports player or celebrity. Edgewood is also famed for its beautiful lakeside course; with the upscale clubhouse and restaurants, views of the lake, forest and surrounding mountains, it’s easy to see why people from all over the globe come to play a round here.

Hi Devon, If the following doesn’t pertain to you -- please point me in right direction.
We’ve been retained by Rudy, of the SkiRenter (etc, etc,) Ski Shops -- to create a banner ad/link that is to be placed (somewhere) on your Site. I was not able to find your page with existing ski shop listings/links, so I’m running a little blind here. I’m trying to get BTR’s size spec requirements for the banner. Note it will include Name/Logo and Tel. on all three of their shops. Please advise. 😉
Kind Regards, Brian Williams, Media West Group, Lake Tahoe, NV.
