Looking for a Golf Community in Lake Tahoe / Truckee?
US Golf Living can connect you with a local real-estate specialist who knows Lake Tahoe / Truckee's golf communities.
Lake Tahoe/Truckee is a small, single-anchor standalone market created per the state market manifest's routing resolution: Martis Camp, a confirmed modern ultra-high-end private golf community in the Martis Valley near Truckee (Placer County), has no home in any of this state's other geography-based research clusters and is researched here rather than folded into Sacramento proper. This page covers only Martis Camp's immediate footprint, not the broader multi-county Lake Tahoe basin (which spans El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada counties well beyond what this research pass covers). Martis Camp was restored to this market's flagship tier after this session's live research replaced its earlier placeholder content with genuine, sourced overview and membership findings: club eligibility is restricted to Martis Camp property owners, but joining is optional for owners (2025 published pricing: $300,000 golf-membership initiation + $45,000/yr dues, separate from ~$1,800/quarter HOA dues).
Golf Character
Martis Camp is a Tom Fazio-designed private golf course (opened 2008, 7,751 yards) inside a large, gated mountain real-estate community spanning roughly 2,100 acres, ranked among California's Top 40 private clubs (roughly #10 among the state's Tom Fazio designs) on a 2025 industry ranking. Its residential integration is exceptionally tight -- the club and the real-estate community were developed as a single project -- making this the strongest residential_integration case in this batch. Club eligibility is confirmed restricted to property owners, though membership itself is optional for owners rather than mandatory.
Membership & Access Patterns
Martis Camp functions as a private, gated club-and-community development where club eligibility is restricted to property owners -- confirmed this session -- but membership itself is not required to own a home there. As of 2025 published pricing, a Golf Membership (50% equity) carries a $300,000 initiation fee and $45,000 annual dues, separate from the roughly $1,800/quarter HOA dues every owner pays (which do not themselves include club amenity access). Confirm current 2026 figures directly with the club before any purchase decision.
Geography & Getting Around
Martis Camp sits in the Martis Valley near Truckee, in Placer County, close to Northstar California and the Lake Tahoe basin's north shore.
