About
LakeRidge Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones course that has consistently been voted the "Best of Reno" ever since it first opened in 1969. Though the course sits less than five miles from downtown, the surrounding mountains provide a tucked-away feel. There are some stunning views from the elevated tees but don't get too distracted, this challenging course demands your attention. Mature trees tower over the fairways but they are thankfully wide enough to offer a little room for error. Water comes into play frequently and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along the undulating greens. Accuracy is essential at LakeRidge Golf Course. The signature hole is the par-3 15th. This tee sits atop a rocky ridge that is perched 140 feet above Lake Stanley. You'll be playing downhill to an island green on this challenging but scenic hole.

Golfer Reviews
Overwatering and Goose poop
Nice course but it is flooded with water (almost swamp-like). Due to the overwatering, they can’t mow parts of the course. It is also overridden with geese and there is poop everywhere - a bit unsanitary. The Marshall told us the front 9 should be played in 2 hours - there were 3 holes that were cart path only and two more Par3’s. Do we could only drive to our ball on 4 holes.
Wet
I enjoy the course layout, greens and overall it always nice. The course was very wet with cart tires making ruts on most every drivable holes. With a late morning tee time the wetness was very evident and damage quite apparent.
Soft and Slow
First time playing. Perfect weather. The course was very soft with how much water they are putting on the turf. Had several approaches plug. Pace of play was an issue. We had 4 groups on the par-5 8th. Needs marshals. Overall, I’d play again, but I’d hunt for a discount on the green fees.
Same old Lakeridge
I had not played Lakeridge for several years. Had a friend coming into town and the signature island hole peeked his interest, so I made a tee time. Played on a Sunday so my expectations were low. We waited on every hole, but finished in 4:50. The geese are still a problem, goose poop everywhere, but mainly around the greens. Cart girl.was not friendly. We saw her on the first hole and only again on the 9th hole. I'm assuming she was just having a bad day.Todd is the pro shop was very friendly and helpful. Jim the starter was great as well. It would be nice if they had a driving range again instead of a warm.up cage. Overall, the course was in good shape, it's just an old layout with no excitement other than #15. I like to hit driver off the tee. Most of the par 4's are layups. All that said, this course won't be high on my list to play again.
Enjoyable Golf Day
Staff was fantastic, no driving range was a bummer, and then the couples tourney put us 30 minutes behind our tee time - I wish, when booking the tee time they would have mentioned there was a tournament. Overall we will return - it is a unique and enjoyable course with elevation changes.
Great course, unfortunately it down poured and hailed on us so we had to stop at the 8th hole...bummer because the place was emaculate!
Lake ridge
Decent value but the course is a dump. Geese have taken over the course and it just smells like goose poop. The goose poop is everywhere to the point you don’t even want to put a club or club cover on the ground. The greens were solid but the rest of it was just kind of a dump. They had sprinklers going the entire round (after and during a rain). They were attached to above ground hoses it just interrupted play more than one would prefer. Staff and amenities were GREAT. The human element was awesome. The course was a dump to be friendly.
Prices up, course downhill.
Quite a few garbage fairways and tee boxes for a public premium priced course. Was my fav for a long time. No more.
Perfect greens
One hole is a par 3 that you drop down to an island on the lake. Beautiful. Started at 330 and just barely finished before closing.
Highly recommend
Very enjoyable course ant a good value. Interesting layout. Nice practice area.
