LAKE TAHOE GOLF COURSE (1959)

HIGH SIERRA REGION

Resort: 18 hole -cost: $30 - $67

2500 Emerald Bay Road, Hwy. 50 I South lake Tahoe, CA 96150

Tel: (530) 577-0788

Designed by William Bell, Jr. This busy mountain meadow course is scenic and fun. Though flat, it has enough trees and creeks in play to keep your attention. The greens provide small targets, so don't let the mountain views distract you. The course is located on US 50, south of South Lake Tahoe and north of Meyers. It is about ten miles south of the casinos, on the right. A worthy and fun alternative to some of the more expensive higher visibility Tahoe area courses.

LAKE TAMARISK GOLF COURSE (1968)

DESERT REGION

Public - 9 hole -cost: $12 - $12

26-251 Parkview Drive, Desert Center, CA 92239

Tel : (760) 227-3203

Designed by unknown. Although oleanders and many other shade trees are scattered along the fairways, Lake Tamarisk is still driver friendly. For the player who hits it long and wrong, your ball will be bouncing off the highway. The greens vary in size, and the lake comes into play on two fairways. From Palm Springs: Take I-10 east for about 60 miles. Exit at Desert Center Road and head north. Go left on Kaiser Road to the course.
