Set in the Martis Valley, between historic Truckee and stunning Lake Tahoe, Schaffer’s Mill is a four-season family community, and home to a John Harbottle designed championship golf course. Harbottle, who passed away suddenly at the age of 53 in May 2012, left a legacy of well-respected golf courses, much influenced by his extensive studies of the great links courses of Britain and Ireland.
