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.

Pace of Play Slow

Enjoyed my first outing here. Course was very wet, a bit surprised for an afternoon outing. Greens in excellent shape, fairways average as well as tees.

Staff was great.

Beautiful layout and extremely well maintained

Course is a jewel. Greens are fast so some adjustments are needed. Just enough trouble to keep it interesting. Bring your range finder since no 100/150/200 yard markers on course and you're dependent on sprinkler heads. Definitely amust play.

Windy weather

Bring ankle weights if you weigh less than 150 in late afternoon.

"Holy hurricanes Batman! I just saw a golf cart blow across the fairway like a tumbleweed..."

Must Play

Very nice course and friendly people. There are a few tough holes. For me the course was a little long. The wind really picked up after about 2:00, and that really helped me on several holes. Overall, it was a beautiful day. I will play this course everytime I visit Reno.

Golf Course

It was my first time playing this course. Found it to be somewhat challenging. Greens were very good. Course was somewhat soggy in certain areas. The only thing I would suggest is that since it was our first time playing that there could be more direction signs when going to the next tee box. Easy to get lost finding a few. Otherwise, I would recommend playing again.

Wow

Great challenging course. Be ready for this course. You may want to play in the morning when winds are calmer. Even though it was tough track it was well worth it! Great price through GN. Thank you

Great shape. friendly and professional staff

I like Toiyabe and play there a couple times a year, at minimum. This was my first round there this year and the course is in great shape and greens were running firm and true. Staff is very friendly and the COVID-19 measures were being taken seriously, which was reassuring.

Hot day with no breeze but beverage court came around every few holes.

Front nine played very efficiently with no wait on any tees. Back nine was slower.
