On April 3, more than 200 people turned out at the Tahoe City Golf Course to honor the Bechdolt family and the legacy they have created, and to celebrate the new public ownership of the Tahoe City Golf Course.

The direct descendants of Carl Jr. and Elsie Bechdolt all received special plaques honoring the family’s contributions and legacy to the Tahoe City Community. All funding partners — Placer County, North Lake Tahoe Resort Association, Truckee Tahoe Airport District and Tahoe City Public Utility District — were recognized for their contributions to the acquisition of the golf course property.

The Tahoe City Golf Course is now under ownership of the TCPUD. A five-year lease has been signed with Duncan Golf Management to operate the golf course, bar and restaurant. The nine-hole public course will open when weather permits.
