I live in Incline Village so some suggestions in that area.
1. Post round drink – Lone Eagle Grille Bar at the Hyatt (on the Lake)
2. View from the tee – #16 at Incline Championship Course from back tees. Beautiful view of the Lake. Edgewood finishing holes are also great.
3. Restaurants – Incline – Fredricks Le Bistro, or Lone Eagle Grille.
Tahoe City – Wolfdales or Christy Hill; Truckee – Moodys or Cottonwoods.
4. Keep an eye on GC – Mountain Course in Incline. Test your short game but not for beginners. Par 58.
5. Interesting Travel – Kayak from North Shore down East shore to Thunderbird Lodge. Take the tour if available. Interesting North Shore history.

I am more familiar with South Lake Tahoe. (SLT)

Best place for after round drink/food: Edgewood in SLT.

Best value for golf: Lake Tahoe Golf Course on Highway 50 on way into SLT. It also has a good driving range and short game area. Easy course to walk, fun holes, and great views of the mountains, river and a variety of wildlife.

Restaurant: Mott Canyon Grill on Kingsbury grade (Nevada is nonsmoking in restaurants), Edgewood, Cafe Fiore & Evans. Red Hut for Breakfast.

Unique: Plenty of nightlife. Summer is here and the outdoor concerts at Harvey’s are a great value and alot of fun. The venue is small so every seat is pretty good. Harrahs and Horizon generally have live bands at night in the casino area.

The Adidas outlet in SLT at the Y has a ton of golf clothes for women and men at very good prices.

I’ve golfed all over California, and Edgewood Tahoe’s 18th hole has by far the best view of any hole I have ever played. The hole runs parallel to the lake, and is incredibly lush and well manicured. The view of the clubhouse in the backdrop makes it the perfect final hole.

My buddies and I love playing that course because after an amazing and refreshing round of golf, we always go back to Brooks for a cocktail. The service is impeccable, with a view to match. Its the perfect atmosphere to share stories and relax after playing in the sun all day.

I’m not too much of a golfer, but my husband is. So after he’s done golfing and I’m done playing games over at Harrah’s, we usually meet for dinner at Edgewood Tahoe Restaurant- It’s our place! We love the food (He loves the steaks and I love the fish), and the view over the lake is amazing.

Best place for a post round drink: Brooks Bar and Deck, which was named one of the top 19 holes in the country by Golf digest last year.
Tee box views: the 16th or 17at Edgewood Tahoe. The 16th is tree lined with the Lake in sight at the greens and the 17th runs paralell to the Lake. Incredibly great for twilight playingm, but exceptional at any time of day.
Best driving range: Again, Edgewood Tahoe – the Lake views and the incredible way they maintain the grounds is unbeatable.
Restaurant: Edgewood Tahoe Restaurant – Lake Views, incredible food, breads baked in-house, and a resonably priced Prix Fixe seasonal menu offered. Perfect for date night.
Inique Travel Experiences: Twin Pines. A huge private home on the Lake with boat access. Steps from Edgewood to play and from Harvey’s for some late nigth play.

In the South Lake Tahoe area I never miss a chance to play Sierra Nevada Golf Ranch, now one of the 2 courses at Genoa Lakes (sp?). Technically this is Carson City but 20 minutes from S. Lake Tahoe. On my way there from San Francisco, on Highway 50 just past Placerville, is an absolute must play at Apple Mountain Golf Course. This pristine Mountain Pine setting gets almost no play and is in perfect condition everytime. Great prices and the most unbelievable scenary. These are 2 must plays if you go to the South Lake Tahoe Area.

If you’re looking for “near Tahoe” experience, try Apple Mountain Golf Resort in Camino. It’s on Highway 50 just an hour from South Shore. At less than half the price of Edgewood or Old Greenwood, it’s a fabulous golf experience!
