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.

Course is in great condition

It's coming to the end of spring in NV and the course could not have been better. The rough is thick right now as it's springtime, but will thin out a bit over the next month. Greens and fairways were great. Played in under 4 hours as there weren't a lot of people playing due to a scramble being played in the morning.

Reno Carson Gem

I believe this is one of the finest courses in northern Nevada and better than many in Northern California. The only thing I didn’t like was it was a four hour and 40 hour round very slow pace of play.

Gorgeous course

A good course set against the spectacular Sierra Nevada range in Washoe Valley. It is in good condition given the harsh winter we are coming out of and plays well from any tee. Winds are tricky but the views from the pines on the back nine are wonderful. I always enjoy Toiyabe, even when my game goes south!

Spring at Toiyabe

Course was in pretty good shape for early Spring. Sand traps need some attention. Staff was great!! For the people that don't have yardage scopes, I wish the course would put some white stakes, just one per hole, along each hole to indicate where 150 grads out is. Very inexpensive and everyone in our group agreed.

THANKS
