OLD GREENWOOD GOLF COURSE

The Jack Nicklaus design carved through towering pines at 6,000 feet elevation demands precise iron play on approach shots that must carry forced carries over native fescue and granite outcroppings. Mountain air adds 10-15 yards to every club, turning what appears to be a routine 7-iron into a strategic 9-iron while you navigate elevated greens protected by deep bunkers and natural waste areas. This high-altitude Sierra Nevada test rewards course management over brute force, with dramatic elevation changes and Lake Tahoe glimpses making every round feel like a destination experience.
