Eagle Valley Golf Course is located in: Carson City, NV

Course History:
This is a truly great course that is actually two courses in one. You'll have your pick of two, and the West Course is by far the most challenging. We'll be focusing on this one for our review. The course is a bit tucked away, but easy enough to access from the Lake Tahoe area. However, there are quite a few construction projects in the works this year for this area, so you may want to call ahead to get a road report before you go. Overall, this is a course that is well worth the trip, fun to play and you'll have a great time.
What You Need to Know:
You can book your tee time by calling the number above. This is a great classic style course that offers a championship level of play. We recommend wearing traditional golf attire while you're here. It's a very friendly course, but this is a championship level course and you should dress appropriately.
The staff at the pro shop is unbelievably helpful and you'll find everything you could ever need for your game while you're here. The grill is a terrific place to kick back after a hard game and they have some truly marvelous food here. You won't mind making the trip once you bite into one of their entrees.
Playing Hints:
This is a course that requires a great deal of accuracy and patience. It is a lot of fun, but you will be working for that score. The worst part is the change of elevation and you'll be hard pressed to see the greens at some points. It's best to bring a cart since this is a very tough course.
You'll also be dealing with several water hazards, but the worst is the ninth hole. The lake there is shaped like a boomerang, so you'll deal with it first after your first shot and then again during your approach to the green. Stick to the right of the fairway for the best shot.

June 23rd, 2008 — CA, Chandler Egan, Pacific Grove, golf courses
Pacific Grove Golf Course is located in Pacific Grove, CA
Phone: 831.648.5775
Website: http://www.ci.pg.ca.us/golf/default.htm
Course History:
This is a beautiful municipal course that has been voted one of the best municipal courses in the nation. The value is absolutely unbeatable and the old English links style of play is very popular. It was designed by Chandler Egan in 1932 and quickly became one of the most popular courses in the area. The original course management wanted it to be suitable for players of all skill levels and they certainly achieved that. Novices won't be intimidated but pros can still enjoy a nice round of golf here.
What You Need to Know:
You can register your tee time by calling ahead at the number listed above or by visiting their website to book online. We recommend stopping by their site to take advantage of their specials. The pro shop here is top notch and overall, from the money, the facilities here are actually quite surprising. You wouldn't expect this level of service from a municipal course, but they truly exceed all expectations.
Playing Hints:
Most of the holes on the course are very straightforward but you will be dealing with more natural conditions such as some really tough roughs since this is an English style course. However, that only adds to its charm and it is a refreshing break if you are used to playing on more modern courses.
The third hole has a pretty severe dog leg, so you'll want to aim a little left from the tee to make sure you get a clear shot of the green. The eighth hole can also be tricky in this regard. Once again, hang a little to the left to best this hole.
The sixteenth hole is a long haul but offers a chance to catch up on your score before heading to the final holes that are a lot shorter but a little tougher.
