Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

For December, the course is in fabulous shape.
Combine a great course with an abundance of wildlife (over 40 mule deer seen while golfing) good friend and you have one relaxing day.
Genoa Lakes course
Nestled against the mountains of the Sierra crest above the Carson valley, this track offers stunning views of mountains and valley. The holes present many different shot making opportunities off of the tee. Risk/Reward abound. Relatively speedy and true greens, can trick the eye as to the perfect line for Birdie. (Or par/bogey,in my case) Excellent Fairway turf. Excellent sand in bunkers. Lower handicappers should play from forward tees and bring plenty of balls, in case you are having an "off" day. Well worth the money on GolfNow! Keep'em coming!
Great winter rates.
Another reason to love "Golfnow.com". We got a great rate ($30.70) on this course that we have played many times at much higher prices.
The course is wide open and long, remindes me of high desert with some trees and plenty of water. Par 3's are challenging for the average golfer, and fairways are wide open. Set amoung beautiful homes and open wetlands. The course does seems to be cursed with a "fungus" that I have seen on many northern california courses. The biggest bucks and does I've ever seen in one place, they actually looked like yard statues they were so big and healthy, the pics I took did not do them justice. Temp in Dec a pleasant 58 degrees.
Very enjoyable course
Good layout, good condition, very enjoyable course.
Vacation satisfaction
