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.

I don’t know what the people in the reviews below are smoking. I played the same Sunday, the beverage cart came by 3 times plus drinks at the turn are quick and there’s a sign posted on the 9th hole with a phone number to call in your turn order, our entire group placed an order and we were in and out to the 10th tee in less than 10 minutes.

The fuzzy marmots around the course are amusing/cute, definitely not a detriment to seeing them around although I imagine the greenskeeper dislikes them. Goose poop? Call the wahmbulance, get that letterkenny level comment out of here. Canda gooses take canda deuces, keep your ball further away from the water and it’s not an issue

Goose droppings everywhere. Poor food service

This was our first time playing the course. The driving range (advertised by the course) "has been closed for over a year". The course has groundhogs running all over it. There are goose droppings on most fairways and greens. There are no premade sandwiches or other offerings at the turn so it took us over 40 minutes to order food, get the food and return to the course (the phone number went straight to voicemail).

In short, for the money this course is NOT worth the money or the time.

Great conditions, terrible pace

Course conditions are great as usual, starter(Jim?) does a good job getting everyone out on time. Marshall could use some coaching. Waited 4-5min on every shot after the 1st hole through 12 before we took it upon ourselves to tell the group holding everyone up to get it moving. The Marshall kept driving by them without stopping and they had an entire hole open in front of them. Their group was new to golf (multiple reloads off the tee, not playing ready-ball etc) and didn’t know the etiquette but were nice enough to pick up and move after we spoke with them. Marshall could’ve saved everyone an hour by politely speaking with them sooner. Also they seem to let “members” out in twosomes/fivesomes/whatevertheywantsomes which really screws with the pace. I get they pay more and should receive priority bookings but it’s not a country club, stick to standard pairings and tee times if it’s a public course. 3 hours to make it to the turn is brutal in summer heat.

No Range for Warmup

Played at Lakeridge many times over the years and this course is enjoyable, #15 signature hole had all 4 players on the green, making for a good round. Front 9 went smoothly and was quick, while the back 9 was held up at too many holes

Due to an excess overload of nearby condos' and construction, the driving range is closed. Not good for warming up or practicing, which affected the first few holes and left a poor start for all of our 4 players round. This is the reason for my fair rating.

The course was in good shape overall and the greens weren't too fast as we have had rain throughout the week.

Enjoyed it, even with the quick weather change

The course was in very good shape. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The weather change was expected and we played thru it, light rain but heavy wind and thunder. Fun anyway.

Excellent course - staff a little pushy

Playing a round at 6:54 AM, we were on pace for a 3:45 round when the Marshall physically followed one of our players through two holes and antagonized him to play fast. He’s the newest player in our group, and it ruined our experience. As a point of reference, everyone else shot under 90 and we were not playing slow at all.

The course itself is great, the back tees offer a nice experience without being too long for a single digit handicap.

Driving Range?

Too bad the driving range is gone. Looks like the netted hitting area is going to be quite minimal. Why not build a larger hitting net were the old driving range was? This is a problem that needs a better solution. I'll go hit some balls at Washoe.
