Several good months of golf are still left this year before winter comes. Why not take advantage of this? Pack up your clubs and take a trip to the Lake Tahoe area. At Lake Tahoe, the elevation is at 6,000 feet which means your golf ball can travel up to 25 extra yards per drive! Numerous, top-level courses are found by the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
One golf resort to consider staying at is the Resort at Squaw Creek. This 18-hole course was designed only after ten years of brainstorming and is surrounded by the Sierra peaks at the base of Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe, California. The commitment to a high-quality environment was recognized by many, as this course has been certified by Audubon International year after year.
At Squaw Creek, you can choose from numerous golf packages including combinations of golfing, spa treatments, and fine dining. What could be more relaxing than an afternoon of golf followed by three-course dinner served at the Six Peaks Grille? Tennis, swimming, hiking, kayaking, fly-fishing, and biking are also fun activities at the Resort at Squaw Creek. And don’t leave without trying out the pool’s 120-foot waterslide.
Another stay and play (as commonly named) golf location is in Edgewood, found on the south shore of Lake Tahoe. Various golf and lodging packages exist. Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of America’s top golf courses and has been host to the U.S. Open. Don’t forget to pack your sand wedge though, as sand bunkers are commonly found on the course!
While at the Resort at Squaw Creek, try a boat rental and take your boat out on the water at Lake Tahoe. Rentals can be for as short as one hour or for as long as a full week. A great way to save money is to get your jet ski rental before heading to Lake Tahoe, where prices will most likely be higher. Boating at Lake Tahoe is the only way to truly appreciate the sparkle and clarity of the blue water. Don’t miss spending time jet skiing, boating, or swimming on the largest alpine lake in North America!
Whether you plan on having a week away or just an extended weekend, try golfing and boating at Lake Tahoe. Great choices of professionally-ranked golf courses are just waiting to be played and many other outdoor activities are also up for the taking. Travel to outstanding Lake Tahoe for your next trip out of town.
