Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club

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.

OK value for the price
Overall the course was not in good condition. About a third of the greens had partially bare areas that were extremely rough. They had a cart path only rule in place which made playing more difficult. The day before a 90 deg rule was in place. The marshal was kind of a jerk as he followed us through most of the round. Rather intimidating. Overall it was a fair price for the course. I would not pay more for the same conditions.
For deep winter golf, the course was in great shape. Friendly staff. There was a five some playing the I need to play through
Beautiful, and Well Maintained
Just a few miles east of state line at Lake Tahoe's souther summit. Late fall is a great time to go, as it's on the mountain floor and less susceptible to fall freezes and early closure for the cold season. Or so I'm told. Fairways are in good shape. Greens are very well kept for this time of year. I got an 11:30 tee time. By then a popular course would have looked...well, used up. Not so here. Pro shop and restaurant are beautiful. Great experience...thanks!
Fun course
Awesome course with good views and long holes. Lots of older folk that can be kind of grouchy and kill pace of play but awesome place overall
Great Golf
We had a beautiful day at Genoa Lakes today. Warm fall weather with great views of fall leaves and snow capped peaks nearby. Course was in great condition and we finished in four hours.
Good course. Fun layout
Great course. Challenging but fair layout. Fast greens.
Beautiful course
Overall the course was pretty good. The free range balls was a big plus, as was the beautiful scenery around the course. It was very quiet and the course layout was definitely fun and relatively easy with many of the holes being very wide and open. Only downsides was some of the greens were a bit bumpy and some of the fairways had some patchy spots, however for the most part the course is very well taken care of.
So nice and enjoyable course
First time, anda was a very good experience
Excellent course needs help!
