Best Value in Northern Nevada
This is one of the very few golf courses that is open year round. The $20 per round twilight (noon or after...summer 1pm or after), includes a cart...really hard to beat. Compared to Reno courses, the pace is excellent! A twosome can usually finish in around 3 hours, a foursome in 3 1/2. I live in Reno, but the the 25 minute drive is well worth it! The Staff is always very friendly too!
Love the staff!
I hit this course a couple dozen times in past couple years... the staff is 99% on point. Super nice and easy going. Re: course... good greens and challenging course design but not too difficult. The main guy in the clubhouse is super cool and accomodating.
