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.

some nice holes on this course, some long, some elevated tees. needs a lot of work doing to tidy it up, but they dont seem to get too many players (mostly retired in tis area - seniors dont like the length)

Lots of water features

Caught a hot deal here ($14!!!) and was impressed. Hard to play the first time through as there were some severe downhill shots that were difficult to determine distance. 19th hole is a real thing here, short par 3. Wind is always an issue. Greens were slow, but rolled OK. Interesting design. Will come back.

Once a slow twosome let us through at the 6th hole, we had no unusual waiting time. Sand traps are still mostly granular or under repair. The rest of the course is improved from years past.

Great value and fantastic veiws

Course has improved greatly as they have gotten the fairways cleared of dandelions. The course presents a good challenge with lots of water and some fantastic elevation changes. Over all a very fun course to play you will have to give some distance for accuracy but well worth the effort.

This golf course is challenging.

We enjoyed our time at Sunridge. The staff is friendly. Although a challenging course, it is quite fun. We loved the diverse holes. All in all, a pleasant experience.

dandelions

ok this is the second time I played the course got to finish this time the first time I was with a friend whose wife called every 15 minutes to see when he was going to be back home to take care of the dogs.

this time the 14 th. hole was open. this course is a diamond in the rough. the down side is all the dandelions I would suggest that management give a discount of 10 dollars if the players bring a sack of weed and feed good carts and a challenging lay out

Don't waste your time or money

Dandelions 6 inches high covering every fairway. Mickey Mouse Layout. Pulled off after 9 holes. Payed $29 bucks. Not worth .29 cents. Lady manager was nice though and said I could play 27 holes for price of 18. I chose to leave after 9 holes instead. It was that horrible!!

Lots of potential not very well maintained

This course is interesting because the front 9 was relatively flat with a nice mix of rolling hills and lots of water hazards which makes it challenging. The back nine was a lot of fun elevated tee shots, lots of hills and really nice views. The fairways and greens were not very well maintained. There's lots of overgrown vegetation and 3-4 inch tall dandelions in the fairways and the rough, making it difficult to see your ball. Also the water hazards were disgusting, algae and murky waters, look like a breeding ground for insects. Overall the pace of play was good, the staff was friendly and we had a good time at a good price.

Great course for the money

I got a Hot Deal special and it was well worth it. Got windy on the back 9 and made the course a lot more challenging. Bunkers needed work and lots of water, bring an extra sleeve of balls.

Played a good round for me. Not ground was soft in places but not so soft your feet got wet. A little wait toward the end but pace of play was good.

Many lost balls

Lots of altitude changes on the course. There are also several blind shots, make it easy to lose your ball. Still, it is a rather exciting course.

Just try the course!

We had heard this was a difficult course. It really was not all that bad. I would not recommend it for a senior or someone out of shape. The back nine had big altitude changes (nose bleeds) but fun.

I would play it again.
