The West Course at Eagle Valley Golf Course winds through the Carson City foothills at the base of the Eastern Sierra. The links-style layout features an interesting variety of holes that provide a formidable test for even the most advanced players. The fairways are lined with native desert vegetation that grows tall enough to provide some challenge and several water hazards are strategically placed throughout. The dramatic elevation changes in the rolling landscape also require forced carries. Accuracy is vital to doing well on the golf course, offering a true risk-and-reward experience. For golfers wanting a more relaxed round, Eagle Valley offers the less daunting East Course.

Codger Central

Had to quit at the turn because it was so slow. Played alone and had two holes open in front of me but hit a brick wall of two codger foursomes who were not going to let me play through...fortunately I was able to loop back and play holes five and six three more times (total of six extra holes) to give me some space, but I still caught them on the 9th tee box. Figured they would have let me through at the turn, but no. Total time to play the front: 2:42
All in all, the course is forgiving and well maintained for the winter, but not worth the cost...much better courses in the Carson area for less money.
And take your range finder with you...yardages are not clearly marked.

Excellent course

Greens were perfect couldn't get any better soft receptive and rolled true. fairways in great condition and the ruff not too deep the only thing is the bunkers were not like sand but hard pan not once out of 5 sand shots did I ever get the results that I wanted the club would bounce off the sand then skull the ball. Please find a fix for the sand

Enjoyable Course

No frills golf course. Some unique and enjoyable holes. Played on a GolfNow Hot Rate in the $20 range. Would have been disappointed if I had paid more. Greens were perfect. Tee Boxes and Fairways adequate. No first cut off several fairways. Lush thick rough where lies were a coin toss. Outdated tee markers detract from the course. No real complaints, just all golf course with few amenities.

Don't be put off by first sight

Don't worry when you're first driving in. Course is right outside industrial area, next to highway. Course is lush, well maintained with a rustic beauty that grows on you as the round goes on.
Thick rough and desert sage area sets up course defense so keep it on the short grass.

Golf Value

Can't be this course for money. If you're near Carson City, go play it. You won't be disappointed. Good pace of play and lots of nice course architecture and challenges for the intermediate to advanced golfer. East side for beginners with more room off the fairway.

Very fun course to play. All variety of holes- tough and easy.

Little slow. There were a few groups out there that were not keeping up. Wish there would have been a marshal out there, but can't really expect one during the winter months.

Overall it is a great place to play for a reasonable price.

Interesting golf course

Course was in good shape. The fairways and bunkers were maintained and the greens were firm and smooth.

Course has some interesting holes with forced carries that can be tough with the wind blowing.

A very good value at the "hot deal" price.

This course had delayed start time, dead cart issues. Snakes!

Several issues: 1) The tee time was delayed for twenty minutes due to a lack of carts. 2) During the round the cart died twice. The first time it was replaced within fifteen minutes. However, the second time the cart failed, the pro shop failed to respond and we limped through the last five holes. This made for a long and painful round. 3) RATTLE SNAKES ABOUND! Beware! Saw one rattler at the starter's shack and one dead one near the 12th hole. Play at your own risk!

Nice Layout at a Reasonable Price in Carson Valley

Eagle Valley West Course is a challenging but fair course with a variety of hole layouts for fun and competitive play. The diversity of the course design keeps your attention. A great test for a middle degree of difficulty course.

Fun course to play!

The west course is very fun to play, has some challenging holes. We booked the tee time on GolfNow.com which gave us a great discounted rate on green fees. We also played the east course, if you want a more interesting lay-out, play the west course.

Sad looking course, won't go back

My husband and I played the West course and were very disappointed. We have played all over the Reno area and a lot of people with whom we played highly recommended Eagle Valley West; we were told it is very challenging, all the tees and/or greens are elevated, the fairways are undulating and rolling, the greens are very undulating.

I checked in and asked if it were possible to go out early if the course was not busy. The kid behind the counter said the West course was closed for maintenance and we would have to wait. Not a problem, we went to the range to warm up. The range balls are very old and used that they didn't fly at all, don't waste your money.

After warming up we were told the maintenance on the West course was complete and we could go; we did get to go out about 20 minutes earlier than scheduled, which we greatly appreciated.

When we got to the first tee box guess what we saw - a course full of carts and people playing golf! There was no maintenance being done, the kid in the pro shop flat out lied to us. Both my husband and I were very upset that this kid lied to us, all the kid had to say was no, the course is full and you will have to wait until your scheduled tee time please.

Neither my husband or I could figure out what all the fuss is about this course. We found it to be flat with a few elevated tees and greens, and some rolling fairway. There is nothing asthetically pleasing to the eye about this course - it is very bland and ho-hum. There is a lot of scrub and weeds and who knows what else, the bunkers are rock hard, parts of the fairways are burnt out.

The staff in the pro shop was somewhere between dismissive and cordial, the feeling I got was "pay, play, and leave"; I didn't feel welcomed at all. There is too much competition in the Reno/Carson area to play a course such as this. Sadly, Eagle Valley has lost our business.

I can't tell you what the East course is like but from what I saw it is very flat and has a lot of burned out fairways.

Entertaining and Challenging Course

I really enjoy playing this course with one caveat,......the last two times I played there, our cart broke down (bad wire), given a "fresh cart" then had to get another one......and the second time our cart died after 9 holes....attendant says they were told new carts coming for last 3 months since he started.....the staff was very accommodating and made up for the hassle with a couple of free beers.....I am easily bought! :)
