Dayton Valley Golf Club
About
Dayton Valley Golf Club is an Arnold Palmer Signature design that has been a PGA Tour Qualifier course since 1995, making it the longest standing site in the country. The course is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and stretches across the valley below. The rolling, links-style layout features sculpted fairways and large, undulating greens. You may find yourself faced with a tough lie even after a good shot. It's a challenging test with plenty of water and strategically placed bunkers coming into play throughout. Careful shot placement is especially important on the water holes at Dayton Valley G.C. The most difficult hole on the golf course is the par-4 ninth. It's a lengthy dogleg left with water down along the entire left side of the fairway and short and right of the green. On your approach, hitting left of the green you'll find heavy rough or pot bunkers.

Golfer Reviews
So sad….
My favorite local course has fallen. While the green and tee boxes are still great, the rest of the course is just awful! Weeds are out of control, large barren batches in fairways and around the greens. 😞
Not bad
Few frustrations 1st. Driving range closed so no warmup. Practice green slow and a bit shaggy, practice area not taken care of. Course is well planned and good layout. Course conditions are a few steps below what youd expect. Needs TLC and re-invesgment. Many Bunkers are hard and contain no sand. Standing water and mushy conditions a lot of places. Greens good, well maintained and overall good course. History of PGA Q school tells of better days gone by
IMPROVED
Hadn't played for a couple of years due to poor condition of the course. Decided to give it another try - and pleasantly surprised. Tees, fairways and greens all in good condition. Only negative for me was bunkers which were more like mud / stone pits rather than bunkers, but hoping this might get addressed. Good experience overall.
Looking better
Play on the weekday. Hardly anyone out there. Bar opens at 10, so bring refreshments to stay hydrated in the morning
Great course layout
Not the first time I've played here. Course layout is great, and par 3's are challenging. Staff is friendly, except there were no cart personnel that offered drinks or snacks on the course.
Water jugs were completely empty (not even in the holders) throughout the course. Some of the bunkers are completely overgrown (especially on 18).
Restaurant offered good food (get the spinach artichoke dip) and staff was equally friendly there as well. Just a couple things to improve on the course, but ill definitly be back.
Awesome experience!
Dayton Valley GC was a r
Great value and golfing experience. The staff was wonderful and David was extremely helpful. Bill the Black Lab was a great host. Thanks for a great day!!!
Nice day at the course!
This Dayton course has its challenges yet the mix of moguls, some hills and water makes it a good place to play and use most all the clubs in your bag. Thanks!
The Old Grey Mare
Years ago, this course was top 5 in Northern Nevada. An Arnold Palmer design that is a beautiful layout-water, bunkers, risk reward, and with views of the mountains everywhere you look. The course has not been maintained properly for years. It is currently in relatively rough shape. One positive, I was told a new superintendent has been hired. I wish him well and hopefully he can revive this course to be what she used to be.
No Marshal so pace of play was 5+ hours. No cart girl so BYOB.
Receptive Greens in Perfect Weather
Played the course on a perfect spring day. Winds can wreak havoc on several holes that require carrying water. The normal winds add to the challenge on the course. The greens are currently in good shape. Pace of play was good up until the turn when bathroom breaks and food/beer runs can typically cause an issue. The right side of the 8th hole fairway is coming back after water issues stunted the growth last year. Fairways are narrow and end abruptly. Sometimes a Driver/Power strategy may not be the best plan.
re-play
THe3 course conditions were vastly improved from last August when I played it before.
