Rating Snapshot
About
Founded in 1917, Washoe Golf Course is the oldest golfing facility in Reno. The layout has small greens and tree-lined fairways, but the fairways are wide and flat making them fairly forgiving. There are water hazards and bunkers strategically placed throughout. The mature landscape is carefully maintained with an elaborate sprinkler system that ensures that the course is green and ready for play all year round. Washoe Golf Course also has PGA Professionals on staff to help with individual or group instruction and extensive practice facilities that include a generous putting green, driving range, and a chipping area with practice bunker.

It Hates Me!
I've played Washoe dozens of times. I [lay harder courses and score better. I think a combination of its deceitful appearance and its lightening fast greens contribute to my poor play, at times, on Washoe. It is a fun course, but when faced with groups ifo you that play from the wrong tees and wait for a group on a par 4 to reach the green before teeing off, then topping their balls 100 yards, pace of play is very slow at times. A mobile marshal would help with that. Other than that, I will be back!
A decent muni
Course was in good shape and pace of play was good
Always reliable
Washoe is an older course with relatively small and usually fast greens, most that slope back to front. The fromt nine is relatively flat as are the last three holes. It is walkable, which I do. It also has several challenging holes and is good for everyone from beginner to advanced player. For the amount of rounds each year, it is in remarkable shape, better than several private, open to the public courses in the area.
Unfortunate ending to a great day
We had a 1240 tee time and were advised on arrival that we would have to return the cart by 415 for an event that going on later in the day. So we only got to play 14 holes before returning the carts and leaving. The overall course was nice and other then not playing all 18 holes was more then satisfied

Really like this course, in town decent food quick round played in under 4 and offers a senior discount.
Course in really good shape for March. Great bang for the buck-
Thank You
Thank You for another fun day of golf. Nice and friendly Pro Shop and Grill staff!
Always enjoy playing your course.
Nice outing
The course has some good personality to it, especially the back nine. However, a 210-yard par-3 is asking a lot
Washoe Golf Course
Love this place! Has everything you need for a great day of golf. Real family feel to this place! Stones throw from the Casinos.
Gravel cart paths with old gas powered carts from 1998 is not a good time. The smell of gas gave me a headache but the view of Reno was beautiful.
Ahhhhhhh
So good to have a break in the cold and windy weather to play golf. We had a great time and the course was not crowded so no wait. The only negative was not being able to drive on the fairways - Cart path only. But not a deal-breaker. The course had a lot of debris after ferocious winds so that is why I gave the condition an average rating, This is likely temporary.
