Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club

Excellent course

We have been wanting to try Genoa Lakes course for a while so took advantage of a Golf Now opening. What a mistake! We arrived 10 minutes early and went to check in. The lady at the shop looked over her glasses and literally said "oh, Golf Now, we have moved your tee time back 30 minutes. You know how Golf Now stacks them up". In reality it was a high school boys golf tournament that was moving slowly that backed things up. When we FINALLY finished the front nine in nearly 3 hours things got worse when we got to the 11th hole, a par 3, there were two foursomes waiting to tee off ahead of us and one still not even putting. I must say the staff saw our frustration and tried to help but not much they could do.. In the end we gave up and left after the 13th.

I tried to call Golf Now before we even started to ask if we could bail and get a refund due to the overbooking. The recording said that my wait time on hold would be OVER THREE HOURS. So unless we wanted to leave and forfeit our non refundable green fee we had no choice. Sorry GOLF NOW, you and Genoa didn't pan out on this one.

The lake course was fun and there is lots of water which is challenging. The biggest obstacle was no snack shack of any kind. Just waters on the course until halfway through the round. We were able to get beverages but no food. After our 18 holes we left and went to the ranch course where we were able to eat, have a cocktail and play another 9 holes. The staff was friendlier st the ranch course as well. Both courses are fun but the back nine holes are better in my opinion then the front nine. Ranch course has spectacular views and holes that climb the side of the mountain with infinity edges.

Wonderful course and the most friendly and helpful people we have expieneced at any course we have played anywhere.

Liked the course a lot. Worth it with a hot deal on golf now but regular prices seem way overpriced

It is a very good course. One of us is a single digit index and long off the tee. The other is a 24 index with a low drive trajectory. it would be very helpful to know the needed carry on drives. Another suggestion would be a blend of the whites and blues depending on needed carry off the tee. Great course and great facility.

I last played this course about 3-4 years ago. Today, I was disappointed to see the fairways drying up. Most of the ruff areas were mowed so it was not too difficult to find your ball. The greens had a nice feel; soft and smooth. The greens allowed the ball to roll true. Because this is the "Lakes" course, there was plenty of water to provide a challenge. The views of the mountains provided a nice backdrop. Overall, good but not as good as it once was.

In spite of a wet winter the Ranch course has faired well. We really enjoyed playing the course yesterday.

The locals buy and 11 round pass.

A good course, but not worth even the discount we got on GolfNow. There are better courses in the Carson Valley for much less. This is about a $45.00 course.

VERY disappointed that the restaurant was "closed," because the chef didn't show up for work. When you pay $75 for a round, you expect the restaurant and other "extras" will be functional.

It was a beautiful day, except there was a 1.5 hour frost delay and I didn't check. Everyone was crammed onto the course in a short period of time trying to catch up. No marshal to be seen or least do anything. Front side took 2.5 hours and backside was even worse pace. We had other things to do and had to quit before the finish. We did find as we made our way in that there was a big gap between the lead group and those that followed. Waited on every shot.

Layout was fun. Very interesting holes and views. Disappointed with the greens. Very bumpy and hard to count on for rolling anything approaching true. They do a great job of growing the rough, however.

We would go back. But I would expect pace of play and conditions to be better or not again.

Awesome course. Fun layout and pretty challenging. Very nice for the price. There were very few people playing on the Sunday I played and the course was in great conditions. I didn't shoot well but I can't wait to play there again.

Definitely NOT worth the discounted fee we paid. Used to be a great course, not anymore

Course was fair for scoring but conditions were less than good. Bunkers were terrible-dirt not sand. Greens were ok. Pace of play was 4hrs 45 minutes. Green fees were reasonable but not worth it to me.

Shot a decent score on a very challenging course in only 3 hrs.

It was a nice course and I enjoyed the round of golf. However, I ran into a hassle with the starter who initially was not going to honor my Golfnow reservation. Later, I was told they would have to work me in when they were able to do so. After two trips to the golf shop, I was finally sent out on the course with a threesome. So I guess all's well that ends well.

We came from Lake Tahoe to see what the Genoa courses were like. The weather was beautiful, the temperature was perfect and we got off early. By the third hole a single came up and we let him through, no problem. The course was in good shape and the greens were clean and smooth. We enjoyed our game.

As we made the turn, we came to a sudden stop. There was a six person group playing the 10th hole in front of us. We dragged on for two holes before we ran across two members who called in the problem.

Shortly, the ranger came along and explained what had happened. He then threaded the six group and us through the problem. It seems a gentleman was teaching his girlfriend how to play golf. The ranger asked and the couple were very cooperative. We ended feeling happy about our experience.
