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.

Spectacular mountain scenery

Great views on every hole! Good signage for a newbie to get around. Challenging but fair layout.

Can’t wait to come back.

played with first timer

Hadn't played Toiyabe in a long time. Didn't have time for practice putting, what a surprise on the first green. The greens were lightning fast, good luck on any down hill putts. Was very surprised at how many wet places there were on the course, after all we are in the desert. We just about had the course to our selves, which is always nice. Nice day despite the heat.

Great course, worth the trip

Played from the tips which was a good challenge, lots of interesting holes and beautiful backdrops. Overall course was in very good shape. Snagged a hot deal which made the green fee a steal

Nice track

The coarse was in good shape. There was not a Marshall on the coarse to check on pace of play. Would play again but with an earlier tee time to try for a faster round and not on a weekend. Started at 12:30 on a Sunday so it was packed and very slow. Took 5 1/2 hours to play.

Course has a good layout

We had a windy day and it felt like we had the golf course to ourselves. They need to work on their watering some dry spots and some really wet areas. I would play it again.

Good course, terrible management

Got the first tee time at 7am. I was a single and paired with a family who were beginners so we decided it would be best if i just played ahead of them as a single. Had a great front 9, kinda catching the agronomy staff so i laid back and let them do their thing. All good. Finish hole 11 and theres 30 carts driving out to every tee on the back 9. Shotgun start for a senior tournament. There was absolutely no point in trying to continue. This was not disclosed by the proshop staff at all. A course marshal came by and was very nice and said i should see the proshop staff to try to get some resolve, maybe a discount or something. I went to proshop and the gentleman told me i was in the wrong for playing as a single. That i played too fast. Terrible attitude, no help at all and blaming the customer for playing too fast. Unreal. I guarantee the group i was originally with (first group out on the course!) ran into this log jam on the back 9. This place is only interested in maximizing profit, not catering to true golf enthusiasts and the spirit of the game. Its a really fun challenging course with good greens, but sadly run by extremely poor management.
