Windy and slow pace of the play.

Windy as above 25 mph and slow pace of the play forced us to quit after 12th hole. Bad weather seems to be like this whenever we drove up here the last four times. Very nice course but we will not coming back here again. We never finished the course and we found out that we are are not the only one.

Great course slow play

This is an absolute beautiful course great views Fairway was in great shape and the greens are really tough, but we were on a six hour pace because they started a tournament in front of us and they weren’t pushing them along. Finally we got done a little over five hours because the tournament had ended.

The Rough

Staff was great, course was good, but we would like to see you do something about the rough. The pros have a first cut which is manageable(approximately 3-5ft of it on each side of the fairway) then the heavy stuff. We wish you would put in a first cut on each side. Your rough is very thick, can be really tough at times and it slows down play. Thanks for listening!!

Great Layout and Value but a +5 Hr Round

I had a 1:35 tee time but they had a tournament in the morning that “took longer than expected” and therefore our round took over 5 hours. We were waiting on every hole which sucked. Besides that though, I really enjoyed the course and the layout including trees, some slight elevation changes, and water views. The back 9 is much more scenic than the front. It’s a great value compared to other public Tahoe courses.

Played Bad

The course is in good shape. The greens were faster than I expected. I got there kind of late, didn't get to putt as much as usual and it showed in my game. I missed a few quick putts on the putting green, then went out and missed a lot more on the course. It was a little windy not bad for the afternoon in Washoe Valley. Still a nice course and a local favorite, I just played bad.

Surprisingly nice

The course is a hidden gem; some long holes, challenging greens, very well manicured and cared for, and scenery is awesome. Due to the sketchy weather, we were almost alone on the course (Tues afternoon), which allowed our pace of play to whatever we wanted.
