LakeRidge Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones course that has consistently been voted the "Best of Reno" ever since it first opened in 1969. Though the course sits less than five miles from downtown, the surrounding mountains provide a tucked-away feel. There are some stunning views from the elevated tees but don't get too distracted, this challenging course demands your attention. Mature trees tower over the fairways but they are thankfully wide enough to offer a little room for error. Water comes into play frequently and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along the undulating greens. Accuracy is essential at LakeRidge Golf Course. The signature hole is the par-3 15th. This tee sits atop a rocky ridge that is perched 140 feet above Lake Stanley. You'll be playing downhill to an island green on this challenging but scenic hole.

Great day on a great course!

Have always loved Lakeridge and we lucked out with perfect weather. Like that they now have the practice net near the first tee.

Fun course in very good shape. Greens didn’t seem fast but they had movement and every comebacker was at least 3 feet. Good challenge, with lots of water hazards. Pace of play is on the slow side.

Goose poop

Beside geese being everywhere and their droppings everywhere, the course was in great shape. It had just rained the night before so the ground was damp. IT was cold 55 High and windy. I didn't see a drink cart the whole day, on the plus side I didn't see a Marshal either. Very few players out there but it seemed the other players were playing random holes. We did stop in the bar on the turn and how some delicious bloodys!

Overpriced

It was definitely not $100 on a golf but that’s what I paid anyways. Pace of play was dreadful and I’ve heard that five hours is considered a quick round out there. We were at 5 1/2.

Playing conditions were just fair, but the greens were actually nice. The rest of the course could definitely use some work.

I would not go back

Very green with lots of trees!

This course is usually very green and shady. They water a lot to keep everything healthy but sometimes the overwatering leaves it a bit wet. There was a wedding so the grill was only offering hot dogs and premade sandwiches, both of which were reminiscent of “gas station” food.
We did see the beverage cart twice which was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The greens were slow and tricky to find the speed. Overall a good experience but not what what we remembered from past experiences.

Fun and Challenging Course

The course is in great condition, and the greens were ideal. Some of the holes are narrow and challenging which makes it competitive.The staff was friendly and professional. We had a great time and highly recommend this course. I’ll be back!

Excellent Course

This course was great! The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The tee boxes were generally in good condition, but a couple weren’t very level. The fairways were great, and the greens were smooth and fast. The views from the elevated 15th tee were amazing. Here are a couple minor complaints-1) no ball washers on any of the tee boxes. I had to clean my ball in the restroom. 2) waited a bit long for a plain hot dog at the turn.

Great Afternoon

It is a great course with an exceptional pro-shop staff, The pace of play is reasonable. The greens are in good shape.AZ

The large number of geese can be a bit distracting and messy. Many local courses have the same challenge.

Great day on the greens

We had a great day at this course except one minor problem. The beautiful signature #15 hole. You are supposed to stand under the bridge and wave up the group behind you, then finish out the hole. So that is what we did.
Unfortunately, one of the players behind us launched his tee shot from 161 yds away and it somehow hit my leg while I was standing under the bridge! It hit my leg, bounced around a bit then landed in the water. Ouch! Probably a one in a million chance, but, just beware!

Otherwise, it was a very nice round, course is in great condition, lots of trees for ducking into the shade while waiting to hit your next shot. We played in 4 1/2 hrs, so pace of play was good.
