Washoe Golf Course
About
Founded in 1917, Washoe Golf Course is the oldest golfing facility in Reno. The layout has small greens and tree-lined fairways, but the fairways are wide and flat making them fairly forgiving. There are water hazards and bunkers strategically placed throughout. The mature landscape is carefully maintained with an elaborate sprinkler system that ensures that the course is green and ready for play all year round. Washoe Golf Course also has PGA Professionals on staff to help with individual or group instruction and extensive practice facilities that include a generous putting green, driving range, and a chipping area with practice bunker.

Washoe golf review
It is the course I grew up on. Very welcoming and affordable condition could always be better before the price. You can have a good time. Firm greens and tight fairways. There are short holes in there are long holes. Medium level of difficulty, but still a great course not too far from downtown Reno.
Scruffy local muni in very playable shape. Staff super kind and accommodating. Played with two nice locals on their home course. Solid test of golf and the greens ran true
Great place to get your long drive dialed in
Most holes require at 200++ yard first shot.
Rough is either super thick or dirt sand and rocks.
Greens are stiff as a 2×10 plank . Id say likely to measure at least a 12 on da stint meter.
Hard to make small accurate chips from the collar or frindge. All in all still the best value legit course in Reno. At least Imo. We paid 38.99 per person on golfnow hotdeals . Pace got slow a few holes but still made it all the way around in under 5 hrs.
Thanks for the excellelent day if golfing !!
Yo all should give a locals discount and a punch card or loyalty points so ppl have an incentive to play more and buy more gear. 10% first timers 20% repeate customers or play 5 rounds 6th round is free..
Some basic promos would create more loyalty i live in San Diego but play whenver im in town. .
Overall course condition
For a municipal, the course was in great condition, especially the greens and bunkers
Nice local community course
I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed playing this course. The greens and fairways were in great shape. I especially enjoyed the back nine. Pretty forgiving course for a golfer who shoots in the 90’s.
Decent city course, bring water!
The course is in fair to good overall shape. There are some dry areas and the sand traps were terrible and as fate would have it, I was in too many of them.
The pace of play is slow. The back nine was terrible, it took 3hrs to play, there's no ranger and worse of all no beverage cart! None of the water fountains work, so bring your beverages, to keep hydrated. Iwas afraid my cart was going to make, tires were totally bald and it sounded terrible.
Not sure I'd come back.
Good course close in town
Washoe Golf Course is probably the oldest course in Reno and offers some interesting holes. I thought the course was not well maintained, but that may be due to the lack of water. Greens are small and challenging.
Washoe a must play
Get out of the casinos for a minute and play some golf. This is a beautiful course. Slightly rustic in spots however the closest to the casinos.
Pretty forgiving course
