It may not have been the sport of kings, but bocce ball dates back to ancient Egyptian times. However, as with many pleasures in life, it was the Italians who molded the game into how it is played today. From the descendants of Caesar, bocce ball thrives in Tahoe Donner with three courts located behind Northwoods Clubhouse. The Recreation Info Hut has bocce ball sets for member and guest use. Head down to Northwoods Clubhouse and make bocce a summer tradition.
