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
Good, well known older course I have been playing for more than 40 years.
Washoe, good for the money
It is a muni course, not a private open to the public or private member only course. As a muni, it receives a lot of traffic. However, that said, the staff keeps the players moving, the conditions are good enough and there are several challenging holes to test even scratch golfers, which I am not!
If you walk, which I have done in the past, be warned that the nearly flat front 9 is deceiving and the back 9 is much more up and down small hills and gullies.
It is a good course that I play often and so should you!
OK , but not a Great Deal for Reno
Washoe GC has been unfortunately and lately, to put it simply, over priced, over hyped and over rated, compared to other courses in the Reno, Sparks, Carson City areas. This course has been in a steady state of decline for several years now and I don’t see any substantial positive changes anytime soon. I go there occasionally only because it’s closer to my home but mostly of the occasional online deals.
Staff are typically very helpful and courteous but the course is in a constant state of needing maintenance and TLC.
Friendlieness
I had an exceptional day of golf until about hole 18. I was about to write our final score down and noticed my phone had fallen out of my cart. It was getting dark quick. I ran home and got my iPad to be able to use find my iPhone. Showing back up well passed closing time. The staff on deck let me use a golf cart to track down my phone. I would highly recommended this place!
This course needs better maintenance
It is not well marked and course conditions are such that there are a lot of uneven surfaces making for very bumpy rides throughout.
Very Long for Women
One reason I very seldom play Washoe is it is very long for Women. It’s about 400-500 yards longer than most of the courses I play here and in Florida. I don’t know why they don’t get with the times. For that reason I would not recommend it to any women I know.
Poor condition
The greens were punched and the debris were not removed. The greens were in terrible condition and it was not informed. It was waste of money playing there
Great city course
Wonderful course for target practice with a little obstacle to keep it interesting.
Great Tee boxes
Course is a bit hard to follow but the tee boxes were great!!!
