The Northern California PGA Chapter
held their Northern
California Senior Open Championship at nearby Clear Creek Tahoe earlier
this week and congratulations to Shawn McEntee, a PGA instructor at Chardonnay Golf Club who won by one stroke over Stuart Smith, Director of Golf at Somersett Golf and Country Club in Reno. What does
this have to do with the Carson Valley Inn? For starters, many of the participants including the winner stayed here at the CVI on Sunday and Monday – another of the 100ish golf groups
who headquarter at the CVI each year. Also, this is a good reason to remind all of our
golfing guests there is still time to enjoy golf at Clear Creek Tahoe this
year if you are staying at the CVI. Call Greg at 775-783-6615 for more on golf
group packages or access to Clear Creek!
A CV
Steak Did Ya Know? CV Steak
at the Carson Valley Inn is the only restaurant in our area that offers tableside
tossed salad – and it's included with every entrée!! Choose our house-made
special dressing (sure, we'll let you taste it first) or a dressing of your
choice – it's the last thing to go on before the tossing begins. Our tip for a
relatively unusual and exceptionally special CV Steak appetizer? The Salmon
Tartare – try it! While not mandatory,
reservations are always suggested and sometimes necessary for CV Steak – call today
at 775-783-6650.
