Golf
Schaffer's Mill Golf & Lake Club debuted in 2008 to immediate acclaim, being named the #1 New Private Club in California and among the Top 10 New Clubs in the Country by Golfweek magazine. The par 71 course plays to over 7,000 yards and is considered by many as the finest golf course in the Tahoe and Truckee area.
Golf at Schaffer's Mill is reserved for its very fortunate Golf Members.
