About

Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6914 yards
Slope 137
Rating 72.5

Located justhalf-hour drive from both Lake Tahoe and Reno, Sunridge Golf Club features monster holes and mammoth lakes. The 669-yards par 5 11th - the longest hole in the scenic High Sierras region and then some - draws your attention as soon as you look at the scorecard. But the 26 acres of water on the golf course will probably provide more challenge and thrills.

There's also a hole with a 300-foot drop from the tee to the fairway (No. 14), a tiny par 3 19th bet-decider hole and a ton of driveable par 4s that almost beg for you to go for it. As a bonus, Sunridge Golf Club's green fees wow many vacationers used to Tahoe pricing.

Always a favorite

Consistently one of the best all around golf experiences in Northern Nevada. Challenging track, friendly staff, fast pace of play, and affordable.

Good fun in the desert

I really liked this course. It was quite the challenge. With water in the valley and challenging uphill and downhill shots on the mountain parts. Very interesting. It was like a Rollercoaster ride. I would like to play again now that I know the layout better. The course was over watered. I plugged my ball a handful of times, including on the greens. I guess it was pretty responsive haha.

Staff second to none

Great experience at Sun Ridge. Pace of play is slower due to the course design. Need to play this course a few times to adjust your game to layout. A bit of target golf for sure. You will use the bag no doubt!

Tough course but beautiful

The course has a lot of water, which is surprising to me for Nevada. Greens were tough with a lot of uneven surfaces. The rough was pretty long, which makes finding an errant ball tough. Hole 14 to 18 are like playing a different course since you are generally hitting from elevated tee boxes into valleys where you often cannot even see the ball land. Overall, it is a fun course but you are really rewarded for accuracy. The sand traps need a lot of work to add sand and fluff up what is there. Luckily, I stayed out of them.

Pace was Slow

This is my favorite course in Reno/Sparks/Carson. It’s challenging and the views are great. Unfortunately today it took my two some 4 hours and 20 min to finish. 2 hours and 35 min on the back 9. The people playing in front of us left after hole 14 from the backup.

Is what it is, was a beautiful Thursday and you’re playing golf right?

A few of the holes had leaks in the irrigation system that caused fairway areas to be very wet and unplayable
