Many experienced visitors to the Tahoe area prefer the North Shore. This end of the scenic lake is less developed and is actually more accessible to the San Francisco Bay area. A number of new golf clubs have been built in the area and many of its famed resorts have been exciting new options. Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort near Truckee is a prime example.
The Ritz-Carlton Club is set to open its new fractional ownership residences in the Northstar Highlands adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton Highlands Hotel. There will be 78 ski-in-ski-out residences nestled in this mid-mountain location. Members will enjoy the use of all facilities of the neighboring Five Star Ritz-Carlton Highlands.
This includes a luxurious new spa featuring 16 indoor-outdoor treatment spaces, pool and whirlpool. The property will also feature a new gondola service connecting the Highlands to The Village at Northstar below.
The residences will have all the comforts one would expect from Ritz-Carlton, including a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, spacious living room with a gas fireplace and entertainment center, luxuriously appointed master bathrooms with vanities and heated floors, balconies and ski valet. There will be 26 two-bedroom residences 43 three-bedroom residences and nine, four-bedroom residences.
The North Shore at Lake Tahoe has always been more popular with well-heeled visitors. The views are just as spectacular but the crowds are much thinner. The density of housing is lower, especially on the California side of the North Shore. Most of the families from the bay area choose this side for vacation homes. Peace and quiet are necessary for a relaxing vacation within a short drive of the faster-paced casino action. If you like old- time western towns, be sure to take in downtown Truckee where many of the original Gold Rush structures are still in tact.
Golf options
Ritz-Carlton Club Lake Tahoe members have access to great golf though the Tahoe Mountain Club. This golf access includes Old Greenwood, Grays Crossing and Coyote Moon. Old Greenwood is a highly rated Jack Nicklaus signature design. This dramatic layout is carved out of 600 acres of towering pines and features numerous high mountain lakes and streams. Nicklaus designs always feature the best quality in shaping and conditioning. When the course opened in 2005, it received many awards including being rated No. 4 Best New Upscale Public Course by Golf Digest Magazine and No. 10 Best New Public Course by Golf Magazine.
The Golf Club at Gray’s Crossing is another great option. This Peter Jacobson and Jim Hardy creation is one of only two layouts in California to obtain the designation as an Audubon International Gold Signature Sanctuary. Great lengths were taken here to protect the environment framed by towering lodgepole and Jeffrey pines.
Coyote Moon is a fairly new public venue in nearby Truckee, which opened in 2000. This Brad Bell creation is a wonderful layout and highly rated. The course is cut out of a grove of huge pine trees and encompasses 250 acres. The feature shaping is high-end here with excellent conditioning to boot.
The Tahoe Mountain Club also offers a luxury private dining club located right on the North Shore and panoramic views. Wild Goose is a must for those who want to enjoy dinner on the lake no matter what the season.
