great fall day

What a great round Mark and I had at Toiyabe on a beatuiful fall day, no WIND, which is what this course can throw at you. We had the course all to our selves after we jumped ahead of a slow group. The fairways had been punched but your ball still got a very good roll. Now to the greens, they were all but perfect in looks and condition. I might have fixed 6 ball marks all round. For early Nov the course was in great condition. Oh I almost forgot the bunkers sucked.

Should have been in better shape

First time playing this course. Greens were verygood. However, the course was very wet in many places and the wet areas were not roped off. Since these areas were not roped off, cart drivers were unaware of these wet areas and would regularly drive right through them making them even worse. The golf course maintenance in general was lacking (aside from the greens) and very disappointing.

Fast greens, wet areas

This is one of the best public courses in the region. Today the greens were really fast. There are some very wet areas in some fairways and rough areas, so be careful where you drive your cart so you don't get stuck in the mud. As usual, the wind picked up in the afternoon, but it wasn't as strong as I've seen it before. We enjoyed our round.

Great course. In excellent shape for this late in the year. Pace of play was a little slow but there was a group of 11 foursome for a corporate event in front of us and there was a 30 minute frost delay. So all in all a great day.

Monday to Enjoy Outdoors

The course setting is beautiful with the Sierra Mountains as a backdrop to some of the holes. It has some long and challenging holes especially when the wind picks up but you can be rewarded with the best views of northern Nevada within Washoe Valley. Only thing we did not like were the droppings from the Canadian geese.

A course well kept

I thoroughly enjoyed my first time on this course. My friends will definitely enjoy how well kept it is and that it comes with beautiful mountain views of the Sierra.
