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.

Slow Play!!!

Played this course several of times and always slow. Tee time was 20 mins behind schedule quit after 13 holes because that was 4.5 hours already! Course was the nicest I have seen ever though. Only go because it’s in town not worth it other than that.

Do they care?

Pace of play was incredibly slow. We waited 3-4 minutes EVERY hole. Called the clubhouse to no avail. Nothing changed. Took just over 5 hours to play. The guys in front of us and behind us were all angry about the situation. Greens are in good shape, but just the lack of care (weeds, dead limbs and trash) just goes to show they don't really care. Pic 1 - teebox on 13. The group on the green was two holes behind. Pic 2 - trash can on hole 13. C'mon man!!

Great course, starts out nice and wide open on the front 9 and the back becomes more challenging. Greens are being aerated right now so putting is a little interesting on top of the already challenging greens. Love the course overall and the value is top notch.

Great day for January!

Weather was cool about 50 degrees. Course was in fairly good shape for this time of year.

The greens rolled pretty well except for some scabby spots here and there but I wouldn't expect the grounds crew to fix them up until spring. It's a fun course to play and does have a few challenging holes that keeps me coming back.
