When it comes to golf courses, Lake Tahoe’s Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course is one of those rare places that combines picture-postcard scenery along with a challenge. In fact, it’s the ONLY Lake Tahoe golf course that exists on the shores of the lake. It features three holes that run along the shoreline and for the remaining holes the lake is still in sight. For more than three decades, this course hosted the American Century Golf Championship. The only downside is a round of golf can range from $225 to $300 depending on the time of day and season. But as they say, you only live once right? To learn more about Edgewood Tahoe and all the other golfing options available to you, visit our golfing page.

Luckily, there are a host of other beaches to consider as well. And if you have a bike, that’s an even better way to get to them.
