Tucked into the Martis Valley in North Lake Tahoe, the Robert Muir Graves-designed Northstar GC delivers two very distinct nines. Totaling 6,781 yards, the links-style front side is a friendly meadow course with free-flowing fairways and pleasant mountain vistas, including Mt. Rose, while the back nine is definitive mountain golf with narrow tree-lined fairways complimented with greens that appear to get smaller with each hole. northstarcalifornia.com
