Washoe Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Very Nice Day
Course was in relatively good shape considering it's just recovering from winter. The freshly punched green didn't help my putting, however.
Washoe Golf. Course
The course is not in good shape even for winter golf. Greens are inconsistent and the fairways are average. Doesn’t appear to be much maintenance happening.
Unfortunately there was a disc golf tournament happening at the same time as golfing was going on on this particular Sunday afternoon. This caused a few verbal confrontations between the golfers in our group and the frisbee players. Staff was friendly.
Out of town golfer
Course is only a mile from the Peppermill Casino Resort that we where staying at. So a 5 minute drive.
Played this course in middle of March so the trees where bare of leaves which makes the course seem wider then usual.
There is a disc golf course interwoven with the golf course and the disc golfers will walk into your field of view when teeing off on a few holes so beware.
Driving range only allows a 250 yard hit at max distance so be aware of that as well.
If you hit onto the gravel golf cart path take relief..
No need to ruin a club!
Bunkers are playable which is not bad for a public course of this size.
#10 tee box is along the parking lot and the netting is a little low and open for my liking with cars parked there.
So if you go right be aware of that.
Club house has a good sports bar atmosphere for a public course.
Pro shop to check in is below the club house and the entrance is down some stairs. So if it's your first time you could get lost.
Look for where all the golf carts are parked by the putting green and you will find the Pro Shop.
Like the Pro said when I mentioned it was a hidden entrance he said " it's always easier to find the second time". I bet he must say that alot.
Rates are reasonable this course and staff is professional and friendly.
For the money this was a pleasant experience
For the discount I got via Golf Pass, this was a reasonably great deal. This course over the last few years has lacked essential upkeep especially in maintaining the cart paths and overall the entire course. It’s pretty evident that this was once a very respectable and beautiful GC but is now for various reasons is losing its luster and previous grandeur. Specifically, the course has not kept up with some essential and required maintenance, not all of which is the responsibility of the course managers, ie the lack of water for effective irrigation. The location is perfect for those visiting or living in Reno proper, however the location is also in my opinion, a probable and possible negative in the ever expanding housing and development of Reno. This property must look very enticing to some developers currently very active in Reno! Just thinking out aloud if this lack of maintenance is not purposeful and a precursor to something more sinister?
Too Slow
Need to figure out a better way to have golfers and folfers on the course together. Too slow. Took 5.5 hrs to play 18 holes. Need to have a marshal on the course, several out of control drinkers yelling, screaming, barfing.
Great Day, Great weather, great conditions for December
Played in a threesome and it was great. Course was in great shape for December 3. Staff was awesome and very friendly. Carts could use some yardage computers, or the course could be better marked for yardage.
