Clear Creek Tahoe opened in 2009 as the centerpiece of a 1,500-acre residential development in the mountains above Carson City. Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw were given first choice of the steep, rugged property and routed the course with minimal earthmoving, using only about 55 acres of turf. Its real-estate launch was put on hold by the 2008 downturn. It is a private club.
