Past Champions
      Course Overview

      Not long after Martis Camp Club opened in 2008, Golf Digest magazine ranked it the Third Best New Private Course in the country and why Forbeshas Martis Camp among its 12 Best Private Golf Communities in America.

      The outward nine takes advantage of the dramatic mountain views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, while the next seven holes crisscross Martis Creek and wind through the valley floor. The finishing holes are framed by alpine vistas, with views to the east of Mount Rose and the Carson Range and westward of the Sierra Nevada Range. The 18th green sits in the shadow of a 70-foot rock promontory, where the majestic Camp Lodge resides.

      After playing the golf course at Martis Camp near Lake Tahoe, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen remarked, “Needless to say, Tom Fazio has designed some pretty amazing courses in his career, but after playing the Martis Camp course, I think this is without a doubt the best Fazio course I’ve ever played.”
