Alaskan Open Snow Golf is nine holes of pure winter fun for a great cause and a highlight of North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST!

Teams of up to five players take on a snowy nine-hole scramble using tennis balls instead of golf balls and just three clubs of their choice. Skis or snowshoes are welcome but not required — creativity and good humor are strongly encouraged.

Expect outrageous golf attire inspired by Caddyshack and Hot Dog the Movie, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs out on the snow. Food and drinks will be available from Café Zenon, keeping spirits high and golfers fueled.

Entry is $200 per team (up to five players).

All proceeds benefit Adventure Risk Challenge, Adventure Risk Challenge (ARC) was founded in North Lake Tahoe as an outdoor leadership and literacy development program for underserved youth. Since 2004 ARC has facilitated relationship-centered youth development programming, using the outdoors as its classroom.

Find two tee times together so teams can join up and double the fun — this is snow golf, Tahoe style.

This year features the new “snowflake” course layout with a bar and live music by W. D. Saw centrally located in the middle of the course, right on the snow! More live music by DIZI PULSE at the clubhouse and don’t forget the live music après party with Home at Tahoe Tap Haus. Because only at SNOWFEST do you tee off with a soundtrack.
