Check out what they have to say, and book your tee time for September, when the course is in the best shape of the year.
To me, Tahoe Donner Golf Course is magical. It binds wonderful people together who share the love of walking in the woods, developing amazing friendships and the desire to be just a little bit better than yesterday!

While I love the course (and I’ve seen all of it from one side of the woods to the other), it is the staff – beginning with the guys in the shop and the starters, to outside services, the girls in the snack shop and cart, and even the maintenance crew – that make my family and me feel like we’re part of the family and playing our home course.

My favorite thing about the Tahoe Donner Golf Course is that they allow golfers to walk. Even if you have a bad day of golf, you still get a great workout!

Shellie Poplin
I love the great condition of the course and think the staff is top notch.

Favorite thing about the TD golf course was the way years ago before Kevin the grass along the creek in the 18th fairway was cut short and the rocks were exposed, making a nice water feature.
