Resort Course · 18 Holes · Par 72 · 7,529 yds · $175–$350 · 4.7

Host of the American Century Celebrity Championship on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Edgewood Tahoe is one of the most scenic courses in the West. The George Fazio design plays along the lake with stunning Sierra Nevada mountain views, towering pines, and three holes directly on the shoreline.

History & Heritage

Edgewood Tahoe was designed by George Fazio in 1968 and later refined by nephew Tom Fazio, sitting at 6,200 feet on the southeastern shore of Lake Tahoe. Home of the American Century Celebrity Championship (televised annually in July, featuring Charles Barkley, Tony Romo, Steph Curry, and others).

The only course at Lake Tahoe with holes directly on the shoreline. The 16-17-18 lakefront finishing stretch (par 5 / par 3 / par 5) is considered one of the most spectacular closings in American golf. Ranked No. 1 in GolfPass\'s Golfers\' Choice 2025.

Playing Tips

Play conservatively around the doglegs — safe angles produce more greens in regulation than aggressive corner-cutting.

The altitude adds distance to every club. Adjust accordingly.

The lakefront finishing holes play into prevailing afternoon winds. Club up for the close.

The mirror on 15\'s tee is not decoration — use it to check the blind fairway.
