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.

sprinklers

I used to live in AZ, Reno is also a desert, so why do you water during the day? A lot of the water evaporates in the hot sun! Gotta water two hrs before the sun comes up and right after it goes down. Just sayin, I know people that work on those Az courses for yrs and yrs.

THANKS.

Great Experience

I’ve played the course 2 years ago and I vaguely remember the course. But I showed up early and had a great conversation with the starter Jim while waiting for my tee time. There is no range, but there is a hitting net for warmup. Good enough for my level. Course was saturated and there was little roll on the fairways. But the greens rolled true. Liked it so much had to get some extra holes in. Other than the Marshall cutting our second round short, hole 13 was our last hole, it was a great experience. I would’ve recommended that he start cutting out players from 18 and working backwards. But we were the first group through the back 9. But it was getting late. Would definitely play the course again.

Slow play by disrespectful players

Both occasions we had singles or 1 double either push from behind and hit while still waiting to hit second shots. Then on occasions, would hit and just pass you by to move onto next hole, slowing our progress down to wait til then hit in front which then prolongs our round. Please consider having Marshalls.

Great Test of Golf

If you are looking for a course in great condition, excellent layout, fast greens with a lot of break, and a true challenge, this is your course. I’m on vacation and drove from Northstar Resort (45 minutes) because the courses near me were outrageously priced that really didn’t look worth it from the street. Well worth the time and effort. If you think the front nine is tough, wait till you get to the back nine, it’s a whole lot more challenging.

Great layout, great conditions, great staff. It was a busy day. The Pace of play was a little slow, but in a setting like that, you don't mind great value for the price, the only drawback is the limited driving range area, but there is a putting green and a chipping green and I would come back and play it again and I recommend it to everybody.

Skipped the last hole at Lakeridge.

I've played this course and appreciate how it is run for the most part. Yesterday was quite a departure from what I have experienced in the past. My tee time coincided with the tail end of a tournament with three groups of two playing best ball. Six people hitting a ball. I was paired early with another gentleman and initially asked the jump in his cart. I usually oblige to this request, and glad the starter was nice enough to let me be in my own ride. That turned out to be crucial. The person I played with had to leave at the 15th hole. I gave up after 5.5 hours and skipped the 18th hole because there were three groups waiting to tee off. It's a fine course. My request is to manage tournaments better and not allow groups larger than 4 people. Thanks

Sad pace of play

They had a tournament before us with threesomes and foursomes, but right before us they put in a fivesome. Very slow, Our 12:12 T time went to 12:30, at 3pm we got 9 holes done, no room to skip a hole so we quit after nine. The best news is they refunded 9 holes which was nice of them.

too wet

It seemed like every hole right in front of the green was soaking wet and muddy, so any shots in front stopped immediately. Greens too hard and not receptive to wedge shots so everything rolled to the back of green which made for a downhill very fast putt. Tee boxes, fairways and greens good.

Always fun

I didn't play well...weather was windy and on and off rain all day. Pace of play was good. Course was in good shape. Greens a little slower then last time I played here, might have been due to the rain. Look forward to a return visit and hitting the 15th green next time!

The course was excellent. Literally the only thing wrong is some of the Jones tee boxes were a little uneven. Other than that, amazing golf course
