Toiyabe Golf Club

I have had the pleasure of playing this course before and after it became open to the public. The amount play the course now shows, but still is a great track. Lots of bunkers and water to make the golfer have to think about their next shot. Bunkers were wet and are a little unattended to. (I was only in one). Players seem to not know how to fix ball marks on the greens.

A great course. Beautiful sights, great lay out, amazing place to play. Good long par 5s, challenging par 3s. Greens run a tad fast and sands a little hard but fairways, T boxes, and facilities are tip top. Staff is great, members are friendly, and food is good too. Only problem is it can great really windy out there. But on a calm day, easily my favorite course.

Toiyabe GC is a wonderful GC which will test your skill so be sure and pick the correct tees. You

should also play close attention to the course layout on the cart GPS as there are many water features which your ball will easily find. The greens were in great condition and also fairways were good. The layout is terrific and views on several holes were great. Mike, the golf pro, was excellent in getting us started and explaining all the amenities. We enjoyed our lunch in the restaurant also. Our next trip to the Carson Valley area will definately include Toiyabe. I believe it is the best course in the area.

We are so glad they now allow public play.

The course was a pleasant treat. I have tried the courses int eh Reno Sparks area, but decided to take a trip south on US 395. To my surprise I came across the Toiyabe Golf Club in Washoe City, 20 minutes south of Reno. As you can see from the pictures, the course has plenty of undulation, beautiful vistas, and is well maintained. The course superintendent and crew are doing a great job with maintenance. The staff at the golf shop were friendly and helpful. There are a few elevated tee boxes when makes you think "course management" given the 5k foot elevation. There is a restroom about halfway through the front and back nine.

The greens see to be spongy; I saw only a few divots. The greens are well maintained and feel like carpet; not fast and smooth.

Overall, I was very pleased with the experience, and I think you will be too.

Great course for golfers of all abilities. Course was in excellent condition for fall. The golf staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. With this course now being open to the public, we will be back to play again.

This great design recently changed ownership and is now open to outside play..

Located in beautiful Washoe Valley/Franktown Rd area makes this layout even better.

The front nine is more of a links style layout and the back nine has a more alpine feel with

some elevation change . I thought the fees were very reasonably for the quality of the layout, condition

and the amentities, especially considering it was private until just recently.

Thunder canyon is a great golf course with a lot of beautiful views. The Front nine is more of a links style and the back nine has more elevation change in an alpine setting.

Challenging but fun to play the course has six sets of tees.

It says it's private but they do allow outside play.

A lot of really good holes my favorite is the 4th hole

Golf course is in good shape and the staff is very friendly
