Aptly described as majestic, magnificent and truly remarkable, the unmistakeable Edgewood Tahoe golf course set along the shores of one of America's most photographed natural wonders is the toast of the Lake Tahoe-High Sierra golf scene.
Annually Edgewood hosts the American Century Championship, a golf tournament that has featured celebrities like Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice and John Elway over the years. This year the event celebrates its 20th anniversary and the anticipation of Barkley debuting his re-tooled swing to the public is quite palpable around these parts.
At an elevation of approximately 6,000 yards, this terrific tree-lined beauty is everything you can possibly want in a golf course and the perfect way to spend an afternoon, even if the rain is blowing sideways as you're exposed to the lake shore on the par-3 17th hole.
And even if your game isn't up to par or triple bogey, spending a day on the links at Edgewood is still as good as it gets; take it from Sir Charles.
"I've got a good life," Barkley recently said during the media conference for the American Century Championship. "If the only thing I've got going bad in my life is about golf. I tell people - man, I've got one of the greatest lives a person could possibly ever have. It's not a facade.
"I mean, think about it," he continued. " I'm playing golf with Trent Dilfer, Emmitt Smith. Walking 18 holes in Lake Tahoe on a beautiful golf course on a beautiful sunny day. I mean, the next day I'm playing with Mario Lemieux and Michael Jordan. I mean, that don't suck now. That doesn't suck."
Words don't do this place justice, so without further ado, some photos of Edgewood Tahoe.
