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.

Genoa Lake course
Staffs are very friendly and flexible so I was able to pull in my tee time for about 20 minutes.
First time playing here
The clubhouse is very nice.The staff was very friendly. The weather was perfect and the pace of play was three and one half hours on a Sunday afternoon! The course is not overly difficult. The layout is straight foward. Nothing too tricky, The course itself still needs more grass on the tee boxes and fairways. The greens were in good shape, ,but rolling a little slow at this time.Sand traps were a little wet on the first 5 or 6 holes but they all had plenty of sand. I would play this course again, but wait until a little later in the year.
Beautiful scenery
Great course to play! The only negative was the flags do not tell you where the holes are located on the green.
Genoa
It’s not a top notch golf course.. The layout is not compact is long.
I’ll play again sometimesin the fun, maybe.
Great Layout
The layout and views are awesome, the conditions weren’t the best but I chose to play it in April, I’m sure it’s a lot better in the summer, so not the fault of the course or GK. Wind made it ridiculously tough but again that’s part of the spring season. Would love to come back in peak season
Beautiful clubhouse and nice course
Dropped 8 stokes knowing the course layout the second time playing it. The water hazards are throughout the course. .
Great early season conditions
The greens had recently been sanded and early season lumpy, but the grass was great. Fairways were still coming in in places. Tee boxes could have been better, they needed flattening and less watering and more grass.
Your staff is excellent Jeff and Pamela are very kind and welcoming,,always willing to go the extra distance to make your day pleasant.. the course is as always beautiful can’t wait For it to be in perfect condition.. I always enjoy my time there as well as my friends those who have played there and those who are first timers
Nice course
Course was in good shape and wildlife was a bonus!
Been far to long
Use to work here when it first opened. So I don’t remember a lot of the layout with all the houses. It is a very well layer out course. Gets breezy but that is part of the character of the course. They too dressed the greens last month. So the greens are a little bumpy. But where easy to read
Greens are plugged
I really love this course when the greens are healthy. They are unfortunately plugged right now and bad...
