Ranch Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club
About
Ranch Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club is a Johnny Miller co-design that's a short drive from its sister Lakes Course. The two courses will never be mistaken for each other though. Ranch Course is a pumped up course that's big in almost every way. There are over 300 feet of elevation changes and in excess of 100 bunkers around the course.
Miller and his design partner John Harbottle III put together a course that plays as bold and showy as Las Vegas. Only it's located in Carson Valley, halfway in-between the more nature resort towns of Reno and Lake Tahoe.
The bunkering can be severe on Genoa Lakes' Ranch Course and the mountain scenery can be even more striking. Even though it's not far from the Lakes Course, the Ranch Course is definitely set up in its own world.
Miller gives golfers a fighting chance though and often the latitude to decide their own fate. Ranch Course at Genoa Lakes is full of risk-reward holes. Most notable might be No. 18. This 561-yard par 5 gives you not one, but two shots (minimum) where you must decide how much lake you want to try and cut.

First time playing here
I had high hopes for this golf course. I have played other Johnny Miller courses in the past and they were great fun. This one was not the case.The curse is in bad shape except for the greens. The greens are good, but rolling slow. The front nine is covered with dandelions and hardly any grass The back nine is better, but not good. All of the traps need sand or the standing water pumped out. The front nine is flat and the back nine goes up the side of the foothill. The staff was very friendly. It is too bad because this course has so much potential.
My favorite course
greens were very slow
Course hasn't fully recovered from winter
Good value for the price

We had fun playing this course but due to the weather the shut the club houses down early and didn’t let us know so on the turn we were SOL with food and drinks. Overall the course was awesome and we had a fun time playing in all the elements on this beautiful course.
