OLD GREENWOOD GC

The high Sierra air at 6,000 feet turns every drive into a missile launch, but Jack Nicklaus designed these fairways to reward precision over power through dense Tahoe-area pines. Elevated tees reveal dramatic glimpses of the surrounding peaks while forcing carries over granite outcroppings and natural water features that punish the wayward. The mountain terrain creates severe elevation changes that demand local knowledge—especially on the signature par-3 7th, where club selection can vary by three clubs depending on pin position and wind swirling through the canyon.
