About

Holes 18
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.

Too frozen

The course is nice with the exception of several elevated tees on the back nine. The ground was too hard from cold weather and the ball bounced excessively!

Good challenge

This course gets bad reviews from some.. usually because they can't keep the ball in play. This course requires precision and patience, but is a blast to play!

Fun and challenging

This is one of my new favorite courses to play. The variety of Fairways and elevations provide a challenge even after you've learned the course. It can be a very challenging course with a lot of lost balls so be prepared

Playable course at a great Golf now hot deal.

First time playing this course. Pay attention to course guide, particullarly distances to water. Greens roll better than they look. Back nine has some severe elevation holes and can be difficult to determine which club to use especially when the wind also has to be factored in. Fairways in decent shape and starting to go dormant. Some great views on the Carson Valley and surrounding mountains. Played the course in 2 1/2 hours by myself, playing thru one twosome. Would play it again

Sunridge Fun

3rd time this year I played this course and it was a blast. No wind, not crowded and friendly staff.

The course challenges you with water holes, elevated holes, and a variety of dog legs. The first hole is a blind drive, so be on the money.

Fun Course

Sunridge is a fun course to play....Holes 15, 16 and 17 extremely challenging with the vertical drops.....it would take several times playing this course to figure out how to approach certain holes.

Great challenge

Sunridge has a great layout, but the course could really use some TLC. I’ve played there a dozen time, I come back for the challenge and the price is great. BTW I did finally have a sub-par round

Unique Course

This is a really fun course that is challenging due to afternoon wind, water features and elevation. A must play if you're in the area.

Course is in terrible condition

The condition of this course was terrible. Dandelions and weeds everywhere. Fairways are mostly closely mowed weeds. Most bunkers are flagged as "ground under repair" as they were overgrown with weeds and full of water. Greens had some strange black stuff (fungus?) on them. Greens were bumpy and several had large burned out areas on them. Even at $45, I was disappointed in the condition of the course and would not play here again.

Water did me dirty

Watch out for the water. Accuracy off the tee is a must, and even for a lot of second shots. This course can tear you apart for 9 and then reward you for 9. Really great play. When Tahoe is busy this course is wide open. Wind could be a butt kicker. Some very unique holes with lots of elevation change, for instance hitting a 9-iron 220 yards on hole 17 and hole 14's three fairways with a massive elevation drop. hole 4 has you carrying over water. Great course
