Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Toiyabe Golf Club (formerly known as Thunder Canyon Country Club and Lightning "W" Ranch Golf Course.) has a picturesque landscape of shimmering lakes, meandering streams, and towering pines. This course has a traditional layout that features contoured fairways and fast, generous greens. There are nearly 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout and water comes into play on 14 holes. Elevated tees provide spectacular views of Mt. Rose and Slide Mountain. The golf course is challenging but still player-friendly with seven sets of tees.

Great course

Favorite course in the area. Always a challenge with 30mph winds. Staff are some of the best in the area. Alway look forward to a good roll on their greens. Worth the time and money to play. GN has some great rates. Play early if possible.

Excellent course

The course was in good shape for this time of year. One par 4 was wet & therefore was set up as a par 3. It's a great course layout with all holes unique.
