Chase Kanarek is a PGA golf instructor at Schaffer's Mill Club in Truckee, an exclusive private community in the Sierra Nevada foothills that features a mountain golf course designed within a landscape of granite outcroppings, high-altitude meadows, and old-growth forest at the edge of the Lake Tahoe basin. The course plays at elevation in a setting that demands shot-making creativity — drives that must navigate tree corridors, approach shots that account for the ball flying farther in thin mountain air, and a short game calibrated to the firm, fast conditions that characterize high-altitude turf in summer. Kanarek's instruction is available to club members in a setting that provides both world-class practice infrastructure and one of the most distinctive and beautiful golf environments in Northern California.
