The Genoa Lakes Golf Club's Lakes Course brings water into Lake Tahoe-Reno golf. It's found on 14 of the 18 hole on the Lakes Course and it's not always nice tame water of staid old country clubs either. Sometimes you'll be shooting over near swamps with tall gnarly grasses poking out of them. That's the Lakes Course.

It's one of the more natural settings in an area known for its nature settings. You'll see cows along the border of the course - and birds will come flying up that you probably can't identify.

Lakes Course is a Peter Jacobsen and John Harbottle III design with rolling fairways, some tight shot openings and good views. It's 7,359 yards of golf with the Carson River and wetlands riding shotgun. It's located in Carson Valley, an often forgotten town, that's right inbetween the big gaming spots of Reno and Lake Tahoe. That makes Genoa Lakes Golf Club a pretty easy course to get to from most of the popular areas in the High Sierras.

Nice, but has gotten rough around the edges.

Great track, but like many courses today, it needs some TLC.

Still a treat to play and a nice staff, but course condition is not what it use to be.

Still a challenging track, and I’ll play it again in the future.

Great day at the Lakes

Great day, the weather was perfect as was the pace of play. The golf now deal was very fairly priced. Staff was super friendly from the front desk to the bar. Course was in Great shape, but a little brown and burnt in a few places on the fairway, super dry Spring. The sand traps weren't up to par with the rest of the course, they really needed...sand! Overall a very enjoyable experience, will definitely be back!

Nice course

The staff was great. Shannon was very helpful and I forgot my sunscreen and he let me use his. The course is dry and hard as of now. The pace was slow. The greens needed work.

Nice day of golf

Course overall and greens are in really nice shape. Staff as usual was very friendly and the carts are super clean. Value when getting the hot deal on GN make it worth playing. Only negative would be if paying full price $90 there are way to many T boxes on multiple holes that are in really bad shape and not being maintained to the standard the rest of the course is.

Course Needs Work - Forward Tee Boxes

My wife and I were very disappointed by the condition of the forward tee boxes at the Lakes course. Most had little if any grass. A facility of this cost and reputation needs to have at least average tee boxes for all golfers. Everything else about this venue is top notch but the course, including the forward tee boxes need to be pristine. I believe the standard rate is $110.

Genoa Lakes

The course is in solid shape for the end of April! The greens are way better than last year’s and should be fantastic as it heats up. The sand traps which have been inconsistent have been improved by more consistent and plentiful sand. There are still a handful of traps that are still too thin. The fairways are a bit spotty but should improve with heat. Around the greens is where the grass is most inconsistent but again hopefully the warm weather will improve this area. Overall, great course design and lots of fun to play.
