About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Could be better
Too bad they dont put energy into this course. I would pay more if it was in better shape.
Great value
14th hole with the 200ft elevation change from the tee box to the green is still out of commission due to last years flash flood, despite that the course is a great value and appears to never be busy enough to encounter slow play, good variety of water hazards on the front nine and challenging elevation changes on the back nine, love this course.
Nice value
I played Sunridge in early February and it was dormant but it was very playable. Just played it in April and it's getting greener but it's overall condition is a little beat up. That's to be expected this time of year. The greens are very nice though. I particularly liked the staff and thought they were very friendly. You can't beat the overall value! Can't wait to play it this summer.
This course is a hidden gem
The 14th hole was all but wiped out due to water run off last year. They are working very hard to get it repaired, so you substitute the 19th hole par 3 for the 14th. They have just been purchased by Dark Horse Golf Course in Auburn CA. They will be replacing all of their electric carts in May. Very enjoyable course with a lot of elevation changes, especially on the back nine and water on 9 holes. Number 15 is my favorite, short par 3, hit it to the right side and let it feed to the center or left pin location.
unique golf course
This golf course is a must play if you are in the area. I have never played a course like this before. Lots of OB, you have to be accurate off the tee. Lots of elevation changes makes for challenging approach shots.
This course has great features.
Challenging course. In pretty good shape for the time of year. Except #14 was closed and we were not informed of this. Also was cart path only and that made it more difficult with the altitude for us Florida players.
Improving conditions
First time in a year to play the course. 14th hole closed due to a recent flooding/mudslide. However, a 19th hole par 3 exists right after 18. Course plays to a par 71 instead of 72. Fairways and greens in great condition compared to the past few years. Beware of cart path only rules, call in advance. Well worth a visit at golf now deal rates. Course needs to place red stakes around water hazards next to fairways, to help frame shots. Bunkers and tee boxes in good condition. Driving range and putting green in good shape.
Just ok
Course is in really rough condition. I went into it expecting some issues because I know a lot of course maintenance is done in the off season. This course was beyond torn up. Not every hole, but enough to be noticeable to my buddy who had never played there. Also, their signature hole (#14) was completely closed. If you go in the afternoon, be prepared to get a cart that dies on the 13th hole.
Nice course. Staff not so much.
Course was in good condition for the winter. Both carts in our group could not make the round. Staff seemed to resent the fact that we had booked on golfnow. Even though there was not another person on the course made us wait for our exact tee time. Charged us extra cart fee because we only had a three some and was told the golf now rate was only for double riders. The cart fee was more than the round. Certainly did not make us feel wanted or like coming back. But will go back for the course. Cant wait to play it in the spring when it gets green. Im a single digit handicap. I found the course challenging but fair.
Fun and challenging
I played 18 holes with my wife. The weather was good in the beginning, but a little strong wind later. The course condition was very good. We enjoyed the rounding. As a beginner my wife had finished her first time of full 18 courses. I enjoyed the rounding very much. If I were near the area I should come back to play, but I am away about 4 or 5 hours driving from there.
I recommend this course to those who want to enjoy golfing.
Good views of Carson valley
Fun course to play. Beginners might have to go swimming for a few balls tho
Sunridge 11/7/42014
This was the first time playing. Navigation around the course is easy as everything is well marked. Distance from green to next tee, and steepness of hillsides make this a riding only course.
Greens were in good shape, but some fairways were a little patchy. Greens were generally very large, making them easier to hit, but leaving very lengthy putts. Many were multi-level greens.
Lots of water-which shouldn't have been in play if I could hit the ball straight.
Sad times
I first played this course about twelve years ago, after it first opened. After the downturn, the course fell on hard times, losing membership and enthusiasm from old staff. Recently, new ownership has made efforts to recover areas of the course lost to environmental issues and agronomy that perhaps was overly enthusiastic in the original planing and course layout. One thing that was really a score killer was poorly marked water hazards. The hazards are in the low lying river bottom, and were originally marked with red stakes, which let players see the edges of the problems, but over time these have been lost or misplaced, leading to disappointment when one realizes a good shot is now swimming and unplayable. However, I am hopeful that efforts by new management will pay dividends in the near future, restoring a gem of a course that is In search of its mojo
Will get better!
Tees, fairways, and greens in good shape. Pin placements were quite challenging, especially for the mid to high handicapper.
The 14th hole was destroyed by a flash flood and has yet to be rebuilt. A "19th" hole at the end makes up for it.
Summary: Take lots of balls. This is pretty much a straight hitter's course, with a bit of target golf thrown in. Might as well tee up another one after errant shots!
Not a cookie cutter course
The weather was around mid 80's an sunny. When you see a big coyotte from the first tee you know you are going to have a good day. Greens had been punched at least 2 weeks prior. The course was in good shape mostly. Some of the course was still dealing with an early season that had damaged some spots on the back 9. This place is well worth the adventure!
Narrow fairways and water
Course is laid out with very few holes beside each other so accurate shots are needed on lots of the holes. Very good use of slopes on the course.
Fun Course with Dramatic Elevation Changes
I was pleasantly surprised while playing Sunridge. For a Western course there were several water hazards. More than I am used to seeing playing in Nevada and Utah. The Pro Shop provides a complimentary course guide which was invaluable with no local course knowledge. Even with Swing by Swing course app on my phone the course guide proved a great asset. The course was in reasonable shape even w/the #14th Hole closed due to mud slide damage on a dramatically elevated hole. There were plenty of other holes that changed elevation that it wasn't a disappointment. It was explained in the Pro Shop that this hole was closed and that an extra hole was available to make up for the closure of #14. This is a course you will definitely play better the second time around. All in all, for the Golf Now rate, this course is well worth exploring.
Sunridge
Course was in good condition, except for sand traps, they are terrible, hole 14 was under construction could not play it, extremely difficult to play with elevation changes.
