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.

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!
Excellent course needs help!! Excellent course needs help! A lot of bare spots on the greens and fairways.
Great layout
Spoke to pro shop guys about course. A lot bad spots in fairways and greens. New greens keeper they say. It is back in the right direction. Overall still great course.
Course was not in great shape
There are major issues, mostly on the front nine, but throughout the course really. Large sections of fairway are bare/hardpan, many of the greens, particularly on the front nine, have bare patches.
It has been a tough year for growing grass up here, and all courses are suffering a bit, but it appears that the maintenance budget was gutted at this course.
My playing partner had played here before and remembered it being very nice, and other people that I've talked to told me that as recently as last year the course was in pretty good shape. Not the case currently unfortunately.
I'm glad that I didn't pay full price. I would not play this course again in it's current state. It is a nice layout and seems like with some TLC could be a good course again.
Course is up and coming
Despite the smoke, still has great views of the mountains. Full driving range, chipping green, putting green, and practice bunker were great features. Pace of play was great, never had to wait. Layout was fun and had its challenges. Quite a bit of dead grass areas and on course bunkers could use work. Overall the hot deal price was definitely worth it. Would recommend playing here.
Genoa lakes , lakes course
Relaxing course especially for someone playing the course for the first time . Wide fairways that were well maintained, great friendly staff and great pace of play. Had a really fun round.
Beautiful local…….needs some TLC
It is in a beautiful location with the Carson River running through it with the Mountains seeming like they are so close! Each hole had a tee marker showing you the hole and distances. They were in some cases had deferent yardage than the sire card. Many of the markers needed to be repainted so I assumed the scorecard was more accurate. Worth the extra cost to play Lakes over Ranch.
