Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club

Will not play it again The ranch is a better course

Beautiful location, nice course, wind got up to 40 mph, making golf impossible but nice time.

Walked the front 9 in 1:40 and the back played :30/hole pace. I would not have played knowing that. Tee time 2:20pm 9/19/2019

Firstly, the staffs are very helpful and kind. It's my second time to play in Lake course. The course is not hard but not easy. Green is well maintained. Food is also good. Having a snack cart is convenient. $5 per can. The lady offered $20 for six bottles and ice. Nice! Everything is great. Will come back.

Ok, to begin with I can't really comment that much on the golf course and it's layout because we never finished it. The mosquitoes were literally eating us alive.

The course is built in and around marshes, and there is no movement with the water, so it's stagnant water, which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Also for me since I play the back tees, and it was our first time there, there were so many tee boxes for me where I could not see the fairway and had no idea where to aim. Luckily we were using an app that showed us the layout of the hole and I could try and glean from that the general direction to go for my blind tee shot.

Blind tee boxes and mosquitoes made this a very unpleasant experience. What we ended up doing was calling over to the Genoa Lakes - Ranch course and got a time over there and played 18.

So unfortunately I can't really comment on the quality of the golf course, but the few holes we did play had some struggle with the quality of the fairways. The greens seemed to be Ok, but it was hard to concentrate on what was good or bad when you are slapping blood suckers every second.

The course was in ok shape. I don’t believe it is a 100.00 course. There was no gps on the cart so guessing was in needed to find distances.

So. Many. Mosquitoes.... It was unbearable trying to hit a shot or trying to putt with 30+ mosquitoes swarming around you at one time. Other than that, it is one of the nicest courses I have ever played at. Beautiful course in great condition, perfect greens, and an amazing staff. Just don't go when the mosquitoes are hatching.

Genoa Lakes/Ranch Course provides a great opportunity to hone your target golf skills. Many fairways and greens slope off the steep mountain. To keep the ball in play, and to sink more putts, the golfer must be cognizant of that slope. The strong afternoon winds in the Carson Valley provide yet another challenge. The course was in excellent condition, and the greens rolled true. I will play this course again next time I'm in the Tahoe region. PLAY IT!!!

Course in good shape but bring your mosquito repellent

The course is in great shape and the staff was super friendly. I got there early hoping to use the driving range and other practice facilities, but the range was closed for mowing as it is apparently every Wednesday. The chipping green and putting green were both open though, but mosquitoes were swarming.

Due to the bugs, the course was practically empty all day, which was awesome for speed of play and extra practice when wanted, and the staff had bug spray which mostly took care of the problem.

I'd definitely play here again even with today's conditions and it'd be that much better without the biters.

Enjoyed playing this course very much. Course was in very good condition. Played in a three some in under 4 hrs. Course crosses the Carson River several times and has great Mountain View’s. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely play it again.

Played it at 3pm and our 2 ball got round in 3 hours 15 mins. The course has some undulations but the hazard is mainly the water.

The course was in great condition with smooth and slippery greens. Some of the drives off the back tees were quite intimidating and my “Sunday Best” only just cleared the water!

Genoa Lakes lives up to its name. There's lots of water lurking - not that it's unfair, just that you need to be prepared to lose three balls a round. Count that as a good day.

The surrounding views of the mountains are nice, especially when snow decorates the peaks.

The facilities are excellent with a large pro shop inside a large clubhouse, and a supper club building across the parking lot. If you can't afford golf in Tahoe/Truckee, the Carson Valley twosome of Genoa Lakes and Genoa Ranch is certainly worth the drive.
