Practice Facilities: Off-mat driving range, putting green.
Description: This executive course was home to the first Bing Crosby Golf Tournament in 1934-1935. The course is often referred to as a “Dean Martin Loop” for the fact that one can skip straight from hole 4 to hole 8, thereby quickening the pace back to the bar for a Martini. Located in the Banana Belt of North Lake Tahoe, Old Brockway is often the first to open and the last to close due to the sun exposure it receives. On the first hole, be sure not to slice or you will land your ball in Hwy 267 traffic.
