Course History:
Incline Village is home to two fantastic golf courses, but we’re going to focus on the Mountain Course for this review. This is as the name would suggest, a beautifully hilly course that is quite challenging for many players but definitely fun for all. Although this is a short par 58, you’re going to get quite a workout on the hills. The course opens in May, and is a great place to have a little fun and relax.
What You Need to Know:
Robert Trent Jones designed this beautiful course and it is a true testament to his strengths as a designer. With the just the right amount of difficulty, most players should find that with a little practice they can come close to par. There is a dress code at this course and all players are asked to wear collared shirts. No denim, cut offs or tank tops are allowed.
The driving range has 28 stalls and opens a half hour before the first tee time and closes a half hour after the last tee time. It’s a great place to work on your swing and the practice bunkers will get you ready for your round of golf. Lessons are available from the club pros and the pro shop is very well stocked.
The club frequently runs specials, so it’s a good idea to check their website before booking your tee time. You can register your tee time by calling ahead to the pro shop or by using their online system.
Playing Hints:
Most of the holes on this course are very straightforward and you won’t have to worry about dealing with dog legs. However, you are going to be dealing with some pretty incredible hills so we really recommend taking advantage of a golf cart. Creeks are the main water hazard and they bisect several holes. You’ll want to have a really strong tee shot on the fourth and sixth hole, but for the seventeenth and tenth holes, you may want to shorten up your drive and use an iron to get over the creek.
The eighth hole is a great place to get your score back up on the front nine and on the back nine you’ll also have a good chance of birdie-ing the fifteenth and eighteenth holes. This is a well balanced course, even though it is short, and it should be suitable for most levels of players. Keep in mind that it takes around two or three rounds to get the feel of the course.
