INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. and TAHOE CITY, Calif. – June 1, 2016 – Edgewood Tahoe officially opened its iconic lakefront golf course for its 48th season in May. To celebrate the occasion, Edgewood presented a check for $10,422 to the Tahoe Fund. The donation comes as a result of dollar donations added to rounds of golf by the resort in the 2015 golf season.
“We are so thankful for the continued support of Edgewood in our efforts to restore and improve Tahoe,” said Art Chapman, chair of the Tahoe Fund board. “We congratulate them on 48 wonderful years, and look forward to a great partnership long into the future.”
“Opening day is always a big day for our guests and employees,” said Bryan Davis, Director of Marketing at Edgewood Tahoe. “It was especially exciting to mark the day with a donation to the Tahoe Fund, an organization that works hard to preserve the environment that makes the Edgewood experience so memorable.”
The Tahoe Fund is a nonprofit dedicated to raising private funding for environmental improvement projects in the Tahoe Basin that will restore lake clarity, enhance outdoor recreation, and inspire greater stewardship of the natural environment. The Tahoe Fund has raised private funds for 15 projects in the Tahoe Basin, including a new bike path from Incline to Sand Harbor that will break ground this year. The organization will launch fundraising campaigns for its 2016 projects in early summer. They will feature the acquisition of 200 acres in South Lake Tahoe on the area’s highest priority watershed, a new overlook at Taylor Creek to help improve the visitor experience during the popular salmon run, a restored section of hiking trail on the famed Rubicon Trail on the West Shore, and a new section of Lake Tahoe Bikeway near Dollar Point.

Now in its 48th year of operations, Edgewood Tahoe is a world-class golf resort on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. This season will mark the 27th year that the course has been home to the popular American Century Celebrity Golf Championship. Currently in development and scheduled to open in June 2017, the new Edgewood Lodge will feature 154 hotel rooms, additional dining, a luxury spa, outdoor swimming pool, meeting facilities, and many other amenities.
