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. 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.

One of Reno’s Best

One of my favorite Reno courses to play. Nice driving range. Great condition and nice greens. Back 9 is beautiful in the foothills of the Sierras. View of the back side of Slide Mt. Friendly staff too. I highly recommend it.

First Day of Vacation

The course was very well maintained.There were some soft spots but due to watering and how you must water to keep everything green.

If you wish Golf to be fun you must allow golfers to choose if they wish to play with another couple or a foursome. Then if you are with people you don’t know you don’t know how they assume pace of play the Rules.

It could not have been any slower if we were a twosome and a twosome ahead of us.

The price for afternoon was good.

Gorgeous setting

Very scenic, unforgivable rough on many holes, but a "fair" golf course. Was quite wet/damp when we played, following a rain storm.

First time fun

Course in great shape for this time of year. Greens in great shape and a bundle of hazards if your seeking one.

Stay in the fairway!
