Suggested copy to run with footage: — Adventure may be all the trend for today’s travelers but classic activities such as golf still carry a certain amount of prestige and popularity for vacationers. And in all its adventure glory, North Lake Tahoe continues to offer phenomenal venues and opportunities for travelers to take a swing.
Golfers here choose from 50 courses in North Lake Tahoe, along with those within an hour’s drive, including the Incline Village Championship and Incline Mountain Courses in Incline Village. In Kings Beach, Old Brockway’s nine holes was the venue for Bing Crosby’s first two unofficial invitational tournaments in 1934 and ‘35. The Tahoe City Golf Course also saw a fair share of famous faces, as Crosby, Bob Hope and the Rat Pack once teed off at the now municipal course overlooking the mountain town and crystal waters of Lake Tahoe. Just north of Tahoe City lies Olympic Valley, home of the Resort at Squaw Creek’s link-style course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Courses in Truckee also boast big names and spectacular scenery and include Old Greenwood, Golf Club at Gray’s Crossing, Coyote Moon, Northstar-at-Tahoe, Tahoe Donner and family-owned Ponderosa Golf Course.
Lake Tahoe was recently recognized as the #1 U.S. travel destination by TripAdvisor for 2008 (#10 in the world), and the #1 destination by Orbitz users for winter 2007-2008.

Now that airlines are charging anywhere from $25-$75 to carry extra baggage and recreation equipment, what are you going to do when you plan your ski trip to

By: James Hunt

If you love being on the water and water sports , you should plan a trip to Lake Tahoe. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but there is miles and miles of lake for you to speed around on in your boat. Depending on what type of boat you have, you can do all kinds of water sports with it. You can also fish if you want to or just take a leisurely ride around the lake and get tan!

You can go skiing, wake boarding or parasailing in Lake Tahoe but don’t forget your life jacket! No matter how old you are, it’s always essential that you prepare for the unexpected. Even if you’re just riding on the boat, wear a life jacket at all times in case there are big waves or unforeseeable currents that are much stronger than you. You may feel silly wearing a life jacket but trust me, they can and will save your life in an emergency.

It’s advised not to drink when you’re driving your boat in Lake Tahoe, but people tend to do it anyway. Think of it this way: you wouldn’t have 10 beers and then go drive your car, would you? Hopefully the answer is no and you should give your boat, the passengers in it and all the other people on the lake the same courtesy. Your vision and motor skills are highly distorted, even after just a few drinks, so appoint a designated driver to keep everyone safe.

It’s always fun to have a party on a boat in Lake Tahoe, so think about having your next birthday or anniversary party there. If you have a large enough boat, you can invite some friends to swim, ski, fish or suntan with you on it. Make sure you bring great food and music and everyone will have a great time!
