Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club

The beauty surrounding the course is breathtaking. There is only a small section of the course surrounded by homes and even they were pretty to look at. We saw several deer around and one that trotted across the green while we were putting!
The course was very playable and had interesting challenges. However the forced water and hazard carries were too much for my playing partner, so if you're someone who can't easily carry 100 yards you might lose some balls (and some strokes) on a few holes. If you've never played here be sure to study the hole maps at the beginning of each hole before you start it. There are blind hazards and doglegs to watch out and plan for. My cell phone service (Verizon) was too poor to use my golf app which I depend on to guide me on new courses. I scored in my usual range (97) but got in trouble on the more challenging holes. Sometimes had a good save and sometimes not, as usual. I may have done a little better with my golf app's help.
One thing for women to note, the white (forward) tee yardage was only 5K and next tee yardage was 6K. When I posted my score I found there is a combo yardage but I did not see that on the scorecard, so if you like to play around 5.5K like me, ask.
Pace of play was on target at a little over four hours. It felt slow to us because we were a twosome stuck behind the men's club group. So we just practiced a little on the course or relaxed among the beauty of the area.

The facilities are excellent, but the course is over-priced even with the golfnow discount. Not a $90 course. Especially with the much better Ranch course 5 minutes away at $50.

this was my first time at this golf course and I would go again when im in the area.

This course is a good challenge, reasonable price and in excellent shape. After playing the more mountainous and tree lined courses of lake Tahoe, this more traditional and more open layout was a nice change but still challenging with multiple tees for any golfer, well designed holes and the valley winds to keep it interesting. We found the staff to be so outstanding such that we had a great time and a challenge on a well maintained course. Don't miss this course!

The greens were a little slow and spongy, probably due to aerating a couple of weeks prior. But overall, the course was in excellent condition.

Great course, fun. Good food but poor service in the bar.

Course was in surprisingly good shape for the middle of march. Moderately busy, got around in four hours. Fairways were in good shape, still some brown from the winter. Greens showed the last signs of being plugged but putting surprisingly quick and true. Need to get over to this course more often.

Played in off season so conditions were not perfect but were good for time of year. Pace of play can be slow depending on level of golfers in front of you. Staff was great and food was very good. Highly recommend.

What a great course an a cool area to visit! Even though it is January, the course was very playable. The fairways were excellent and the greens were very good.
I had a special request for a souvenir and the staff went out of their way to find it for me.
Thank you Genoa Lakes staff an I'll see you again soon!

Although the booking said that it included cart and range balls, when we got to the course the range was closed so no warm up.
Pace of play was very slow as they had several tournaments out on the course and we had to start on the back nine.

The pin placements are bizarre - on top of shelfs, edge of greens, in the middle of ridges, etc...it cheapens a nice course - if you hit a good putt but miss - and then it rolls fifteen feet back to your feet...well, you wanna look for the windmills.

We loved this golf course! From the moment we arrived at the bag drop area, we were greeted by friendly and professional staff who did everything to make us feel welcome. The course was challenging, and in great shape. The Supper Club had friendly staff, and was the perfect place to stop for lunch and drinks following our round. We liked it so much, we played it a second time while on our golf vacation.

We had an wonderful experience from the moment we drove up to the bag drop area at the Genoa lakes course in the Lake Tahoe area. . Attentive staff readily loaded our bags onto the cart, and had us checked in and ready to tee off in no time.

The course was beautifully maintained, and offered challenging holes for players of all levels. The scenery was beautiful. The bar/restaurant was a friendly place to stop and have great food and drinks following your round. Not to mention the views from the restaurant.

Highly recommended!

only down side more sand needed in a couple of traps

We love this course!! Have played it all year round.... Staff is always friendly & helpful-they make a breakfast sand to die for!!! And if u play during the week of ure bday you can play for free!!

Played the Lakes course, great deal on Golfnow. Course is in good condition and moderately challenging. Beware of wind conditions, in the early afternoon it felt like being in a wind tunnel.

Great course. Winds were the worst I have ever experienced. Do not ever play mid to late day.

Beautiful course. Try not to hit homes that are at times close by. Please hit straight.

I love Genoa Lakes, it's one of my favorites! It's beautiful & kept in great shape! The wild life there is awesome! I always look forward to playing there!

Everything was smooth from check ln to finish. I wll be there more times with friends in this year. It's wonderful experience. That's golfnow!!
