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.

Good shape
Course is in good shape. Greens were a little slow and the tee boxes could use a little love, but overall I was happy with the course conditions and pace of play. The bunkers are rock hard, even by Northern Nevada standards. I hit out of the first one I landed in and then just started pulling it out. The area around the green on 7 could use some grass. That's a tough approach shot as it is, and with there being no grass in that area other than the green, it's kind of unfair.

Great shape
Been a few years since I have been to Dayton Valley. Impressed with how lush the course is, as they've focused a lot on course conditions coming off the massive winter.
Appreciated a course employee/marshall being out there trying to get pace of play moving.

Probably wait
Bunkers need a lot of work. They’re like gravel pits. Way too many bunkers, too many to take care of. Should just fill half of them in. Greens ok, should improve soon. Tees n fairways ok.

Like the course but pace of play was not good.
Our foursome was scheduled behind a very slow group who obviously saw us waiting a number of times, but did not have the courtesy to wave us through. We did not encounter any marshall on the course to regulate pace of play. We like the course, and the staff.

Very tricky fairways and super slow greens.
The course appears to be in a downhill course if not already hitting the bottom mostly due to mediocre management. Ten years ago or so, Dayton Valley was one of the premier courses in the area and I didn’t mind driving long distance driving from my house to play there and other courses. The staff was friendly and very courteous. Recently , it started getting bad and now it’s really bad.. The current owner may be a good person and may like the game but he was not very friendly nor helpful to us. He was quite sarcastic when I asked him if there was some discount for a lady’s shirt since I was buying another shirt , referring that I had bought several shirts in the past from them and got some discount. He said that nowadays everything was expensive and even complained that his home electricity bill for this month was $300. It’s totally irrelevant. I bought two shirts but decided never buy anything from them again and even not coming back to play here. The course was poorly maintained and needed some repair work anyway overall. Sorry to see that this beautiful course is not being kept well.

If you can get out on this course without any wind then grab your clubs and enjoy what I would consider Reno/ Tahoe’s best golf value. U won’t find a better all around golf experience than here in Dayton. A winner every time!!
