Old Greenwood, host of the 2020 Barracuda Championship on the PGA Tour, is widely regarded as one of the best public courses ever designed by Jack Nicklaus. It features a beautiful mountain backdrop in the High Sierras, winding through an exclusive neighborhood of homes. Tall pines line its twisting fairways. Deep bunkers and water hazards guard demanding Nicklaus greens. The facility, part of the Tahoe Mountain Club, is also home to a golf academy with one of the best practice facilities in northern California.

Old greenwood

I screwed up. I should have called the course direct. I paid $204 per person to play. If we would have called the course direct it would have cost $170 each. I just thought calling golf now it would have been cheaper. Lesson learned.
Thx Dave

Tough Track

Amazing for a public course. Challenges include elevated greens complexes, bunkers seemingly in the middle of each approach shot, and most shots ran out.

Great Golf course

Great course with some very tough holes. Wind and elevation made it a bit tougher. Green complexes were also difficult and well bunkered.

Over expectations

Getting for PGA event…Pro shop staff inattentive…my first time…rented clubs..I got a cart with no GPS…no ice…no direction…play was so slow due to cart path only(that’s understandable) Greens were not that fast maybe a 11 at best and very spotty ….very small venue compared to other PGA event I’ve been to….looking forward to watching the TV coverage…

Disappointed

I am disappointed that it’s cart path only, with the amount of money I paid, it’s not worth it! If ever and whatever the reason is, you or they should announce that it’s cart path only so at least we know if we still want to do it!

Old Greenwood

This was my first time playing at Old Greenwood and it definitely will not be my last. The staff was very friendly from the bag drop off receiver, cashier, starter and Marshall.

The warm up and driving range areas were fantastic! Reminds me of Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert with anything and everything that you need to get you ready for the game.

The course was challenging with some tough pin placements, but the fairways were forgiving when you hit them. The views around the course were fantastic and I enjoyed the course lay out.

OG is one of my favorite courses. Gorgeous views and meticulously maintained. Tee boxes were immaculate. Greens were great 10.5 stimp. Challenging, but playable. Highly recomended!

. Hard golf course.

If you’re up to a very challenging golf course, it would be the place. I am a two handicap and I didn’t find it to be very much fun. I like the opportunity to score when I hit good shots.

Pace of Play

Wonder why I was waiting 20 mins on the 12th tee. At one point there were 4 groups on the tee box. Apparently there was an 8-some ahead slowing the pace to a crawl.

Course was good but slightly overpriced due to it hosting a PGA event. Staff was great. Probably won’t play it again due to the pace of play issue.

Players course with some benefits to keeping the ball below the hole. Be careful of the false fronts.

Great course if you bring some patience with some great views, the back nine and the front nine present different types of challenges with the front nine being more tight and playable, and the Backnine, being more of a shot makers and risk takers Haven. Make sure you practice your chipping and putting especially dialing in your soft hands around the greens. You will find a bunker.
