Lake Tahoe Golf Course (LTGG) and the American Golf Foundation (AGF) would like to recognize the volunteer members of the AGF Ambassador Program for their continued support in raising funds for local and national charities and for providing quality customer service for golfers coming to play with us from near and far!

The game is simple: a golfer is asked for a $10-$20 donation when they step on the tee at the par 3, 6th hole.  If they put their first shot on the green, they receive a sleeve of golf balls!  Happy golfer, happy charity!   The Ambassadors at LTGC raised $41,017 in 2025 for the following national and local charities:

Folds of Honor – $2,685

Jacob’s Heart – $11,369

AGF’s mission is to promote the game of golf and its ideals through charity, education and community service. AGF works with representatives from American Golf across the U.S. to further our mission. At the core of our program is a dedicated team of volunteer AGF Ambassadors who donate their time, energy, skills and knowledge in service to their communities.

Through various fundraising activities at the host courses, AGF Ambassadors have raised funds to be donated to a multitude of charitable causes over the years ranging from health-related organizations and programs for at-risk kids, to military families or natural disaster and crisis relief efforts.

In addition to their charitable endeavors, Ambassadors help golfers more fully enjoy the golf experience by educating them regarding proper course etiquette, rules, safety and pace of play; help make the game accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages and backgrounds; and participate in outreach programs in the local community.
