Edgewood Tahoe Resort

The property

Edgewood Tahoe Resort is the only property in the Lake Tahoe basin that puts you on the first tee of the region's best golf course without a car ride. The 154-room resort opened in 2017 on the south shore, adjacent to Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, and earned its Forbes Four-Star rating through details that justify the premium: fireplaces and indoor hot tubs in every room, a private beach on the lake, and three restaurants that operate above the standard resort dining bar.

What to expect

The spa is a real facility rather than an afterthought, and the outdoor pool overlooks the lake with mountains in every direction. The course is on-site; you walk to the first tee. The tradeoff lives further north: if you also want to play the Truckee corridor at Old Greenwood, Gray's Crossing, or Coyote Moon, you are adding roughly fifty minutes of drive each way. This works best as a two- or three-night base anchored by a round at Edgewood, with non-golf days spent on the beach, at the spa, or exploring the south shore. Couples and small groups prioritising the Edgewood experience will find it natural; groups planning multiple Truckee rounds will find the commute repetitive.

Rates and booking

$400 to $800 nightly. Book direct for stay-and-play rates that bundle Edgewood tee times more sensibly than booking the round separately.
