About
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.

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. In addition to the course, Toiyabe Golf Club also offers practice facilities that include chipping and sand practice areas along with an expansive putting green.

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.
Fun course
Front nine a little rough. Back nine spectacular. Great layout, good pro shop, snack bar and cart girl were off duty a little early but no big deal.
What a gem
Great conditions tee to green! Great layout. Some challenging holes. First time playing can’t wait to get back.
The greens were absolutely perfect. The was in pretty good shape for all the snow they got. Definitely coming back.
Almost Perfect
Great course! Slow pace of play but not terrible. Snack bar closed after 9 holes and no where to eat after the round.
Course is in horrible shape
Course is in rough shape. Temp green on one of the holes, par 4 changed to par 3, bunkers were muddy or wet. I understand that winter was rough this year, but paying $60 is not worth it. Could have played a course in better shape for $75. Also, when I checked in the guy wanted to charge me again.
Decent for early season
Course is BEAT with snow run off ruts and dead grass. But nothing so bad you can't play.
Bad Timing
Due to weather the back nine was closed. We were allowed to play 18 which meant the front nine was overcrowded. Overall the course conditions were below average because of the harsh winter weather. By late spring the course should be in excellent condition.
Great course and great layout. The back nine was closed due to weather conditions so we played the front nine twice. Course conditions were typical late fall condition which was expected. Cannot comment on the bar/restaurant as they were closed.
