Few places on the planet match what Incline Village and Lake Tahoe provide for all those who live here or visit. Incline Village and Crystal Bay is a haven for outdoor lovers. During the summer, hiking and biking trails, such as the East Shore Trail and Tunnel Creek, provide stunning views and exhilarating experiences.

Welcome Message from ivgid's general manager

Don’t forget the Music on the Beach on Wednesday and Friday nights.

Not to be missed are the Incline Village Golf Courses, the Mountain Course and Championship Course. Following your round or other adventures, drop by The Grille at The Chateau for a great meal and toast to an amazing day.

For those aged 49 and above, the Incliners program offers social, recreational, and educational opportunities. From book clubs to community dinners, this initiative fosters a welcoming environment for those looking to stay active and engaged. It is a great way to build your

network of friends and acquaintances in the Village.

This community is more than just a scenic getaway - it's a destination filled with adventure, relaxation, and community spirit. Whether you live here year-round, are visiting for a weekend, or are planning an extended stay, Incline Village and Crystal Bay have the right venues to make your time special.

Lastly, don’t forget about our Independence Day activities. The community comes together for a variety of special events, including activities at the Village Green, the Veterans pancake breakfast, fireworks brought to us by Incline Fireworks, the community parade, and all-day fun.

RECREATION PUNCH CARDS

What is the value for IVGID Punch Cards renewed on or after June 1, 2025?

For parcels with beach access, IVGID Punch Cards will have $165 worth of value loaded on them this year. For parcels without beach access, IVGID Punch Cards will have $86 worth of value loaded on them this year.

Which IVGID venues accept Punch Cards?

Punch cards must be used in accordance with the guidelines outlined in IVGID’s Ordinance 7. Generally, for beach access parcels, a Punch Card can be used to pay for the full cost of guest access to the beaches, pool, and daily boat launching fees.

And for all parcels, Punch Cards can be used to pay the difference between the regular rate and IVGID Recreation Pass (Picture Pass) daily or hourly rates at the Recreation Center, Tennis & Pickleball Center, Diamond Peak Ski Resort, and IVGID golf courses – the IVGID Recreation Pass rate must still be paid.

Can I reload my Punch Card?

No. Punch Cards cannot be reloaded in the same fiscal year they were issued. If additional Punch Cards are required, you

can purchase up to three more in most cases. For inquiries, please contact the Parks & Recreation Department Counter staff at 775-832-1310 for further information.

If I want to switch my Punch Cards to IVGID Recreation Passes (aka Picture Passes), how do I do that?

Please contact the Parks & Recreation Department Counter staff at 775.832.1310 for further information. Note that you will need to pay the balance used from the Punch Card up to its original amount, and there will be a $15 administration fee to make the switch.

How do you compute the value on a Punch Card?

Please scroll to the bottom of our Passes & Punch Cards page on the website for a breakdown. Scan the QR code here.

Why does this matter? Dehydration sneaks up on you, leading to headaches, dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, and dark urine. If left unchecked, it can progress to heat exhaustion or even life-

• New bag drop area on the curb at the Championship Course.

• New clocks at the bag drop and putting green at the Championship Course.

GOLF TIPS FOR EVERY LEVEL— FROM FIRST TEE TO SCRATCH GOLFERS

One of the (many) reasons golf is such a great game is that it welcomes players of all skill levels on the same course. Whether you’re just picking up a club for the first time or you've been playing for years, there’s always something new to learn. And here at the Golf Courses at Incline Village, we

have the courses, the instructors, and the practice facilities to improve your game no matter what your experience level.

Read on for a few practical tips tailored for both beginners and seasoned golfers.

For Beginners

1. Start with your short game

New golfers often focus on the hitting the ball off the tee –often with a driver. But most shots in a round of golf happen within 100 yards of the hole. So spend much more time practicing chipping and putting, as mastering these areas will lower your scores faster than swinging for the fences.

2. Get a lesson early

A single lesson with a certified golf professional can help establish solid fundamentals and ensure you start off your golf journey having fun. Seriously, the most important aspect of any lesson is how to make it fun. Grip, stance, and posture might look simple when watching experienced golfers play, but poor habits are hard to break later on, and a golf pro will help you set yourself up for success down the road, and avoid injury while doing so. Even better – enroll in a series of lessons such as the Get Golf Ready series we offer (see GolfIncline.com for details).

3. Start off with the right equipment

Beginners probably don’t need a full set of 14 clubs. A half-set (e.g., driver, hybrid, 6-iron, 8-iron, pitching wedge and putter) is usually enough to learn the game and start having fun. Plus it will make your club selection easier when you have fewer options. Look for beginner-friendly clubs, not just whatever hand-me-downs your experienced golfing buddies try to pass off on you. Club fitting is just one of the many services available from our golf pros, so come see us in the Golf Shop at the Championship Course if you have any questions about which clubs are right for you..

4. Focus on etiquette and fun, not perfection

Pace of play, being quiet during shots, and taking care of the course matter just as much as your score. Learn the basics of golf etiquette early, and you’ll be welcomed at any course. And then don’t take yourself too seriously – at least at first. There will be plenty of time to get competitive down the road should you find yourself falling in love with the game of golf. Bonus tip: Find a friend or foursome who are all at your same level and motivate each other to play more golf together!

THE GOLF COURSES AT INCLINE VILLAGE®

For More Experienced Golfers

1. Practice with purpose

Instead of just hitting balls on the range when you have spare time, create practice sessions with specific goals – like shaping shots, controlling distances, or simulating pressure situations – and work on those goals when you’re on the range or the practice green. Quality practice leads to consistent results.

2. Analyze your game

Track stats like fairways hit, greens in regulation and number of putts per round. Identify trends and weak spots in your game and then practice those specific scenarios (see tip above). Even low handicappers often overlook key areas that need attention, but analysis will highlight these weaknesses.

3. Play different courses and in different conditions

Variety builds adaptability. Playing in wind, on different turf types, at different elevations, or unfamiliar layouts sharpens your strategic thinking and shot-making skills. Right here

in Incline Village we have two incredible courses to choose from, so don’t just play one or the other, but embrace both for the opportunities they offer. (And keep in mind the Mountain Course offers 14 chances at hitting a hole-in-one!).

4. Don’t neglect fitness and flexibility

You can practice for hours, but stiffness and lack of flexibility will always restrain your golf game. A strong, flexible body improves swing mechanics and reduces injury risk, so add golf-specific stretches or workouts to your routine, especially as swing speed becomes more important. Consider working with a personal trainer with golf-specific training credentials to customize a strength and flexibility routine for your specific game.

GOLF TIP: MENTAL PREP

By Ashley Wolford, PGA

Mental toughness

Mental toughness —it can be the difference between a frustrating day on the golf course and a great day on the course. Having a pre-shot and post-shot routine is one of the

best ways to get your mind in a place to find the consistency we all are striving for on the golf course.

Routines create habits, habits create consistency. Golf can be very dynamic, and many factors are not in our control; however, our emotions and readiness to hit can be under our control.

You don’t have to be robotic about your pre-shot routine, you just want to make sure you are physically and mentally prepared for your shot each time.

"A good routine gives your mind a specific and creative job. It keeps your mind occupied with something productive instead of letting it fill up with tension and worry about the consequences of a bad shot." - From Imagine Golf's 7-Day Series on Own Your Game by Dave Stockton.

Next time you are on the range, think about some of the tough tee shots or approach shots to the green you might find on the course. Visualize what you want the ball to do and what you want to do; then take a few breaths to calm your nerves and swing away.

Keep it positive and keep it consistent. Your mind will be less distracted by negative thoughts and nerves. Practice with a purpose, and you will see results on the golf course a lot sooner!
