Trukee, California - Ranked as one of America’s top golf courses by the 2005 ZAGAT Survey and given a four star rating by Golf Digest, the Northstar-at-Tahoeâ„¢ golf course plans to open its scenic meadow nine Saturday, May 20, weather permitting. In preparation for the course opening, the resort’s golf shop will open Saturday, May 13 to accept tee time reservations and offer the latest golf fashion and apparel from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. The mountain nine and resort driving range will open as conditions allow.
Two Courses In One-Northstar Resort’s golf course is home to two truly extraordinary nines. The front nine, more commonly referred to as the mountain nine, requires tight precise play as the course winds through tree-lined areas with narrow fairways and smaller greens. The back nine, or the meadow nine, allows golfers to open up their game as this links-style course is wide-open, featuring views of Northstar Resort and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Playing up to 6,781 yards, the Northstar golf course offers four tee locations and carries a rating of 72.4 from the Northern California Golf Association. The course was designed by legendary landscape architect, Robert Muir Graves, whose designs are famous for integrating rugged, wooded sites with wavy bunkers and putting surfaces.
Lessons-Northstar Resort’s skilled golf professionals can help any golfer take a few strokes off their game or master the fundamentals of the sport. Group and private lessons are available for adults and children based on the length and number of students in the lesson.
