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.

Its a good layout

Its a good layout with tees for every skill level.

The course is usually in good shape no matter the season but the greens were in bad shape, very bumpy.

Will not play it again until the greens are better.

Greens Ugh

I have played Genoa Lakes a number of times in the winter and the greens and overall course conditions have been great for winter time. Today the greens were as bad as I have ever seen. Looks like they got areated before winter hit and never healed. Two foot putts were a joke. They need to be verticut, then mowed, then rolled to make them somewhat playable.

CALL AHEAD

Only got chargeed $60 instead of the $75 fee posted...BUT that was the end of the good times. Course is okay. Starter gives you the POSTED pin placement, but you have NO diagram of where they may be after the 1st hole. Cart per GOLFNOW said a GPS came with the cart...NOTHING. Had to find the number yardage numbers or just guess. Slow players ahead playing thier EGOS , not their ability. So it was a slow day. Even the 2 some played Ego. One drive 15 yds, and he hit it out of a hazard (H2o)..Big $$$ must have been on the line. BUT the worst was the AERATED GREENS with a light sanding and the small clumps. This is NOT a LINKS style course as described. regular fringe, rough...just like at home

Good Time

I signed up as a single and was grouped with 3 other nice guys. Great group, very friendly and just a little slower than I am used to.

Got too dark and cold so I couldn't finish.
