Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Genoa Lakes Golf Club's Lakes Course brings water into Lake Tahoe-Reno golf. It's found on 14 of the 18 hole on the Lakes Course and it's not always nice tame water of staid old country clubs either. Sometimes you'll be shooting over near swamps with tall gnarly grasses poking out of them. That's the Lakes Course.
It's one of the more natural settings in an area known for its nature settings. You'll see cows along the border of the course - and birds will come flying up that you probably can't identify.
Lakes Course is a Peter Jacobsen and John Harbottle III design with rolling fairways, some tight shot openings and good views. It's 7,359 yards of golf with the Carson River and wetlands riding shotgun. It's located in Carson Valley, an often forgotten town, that's right inbetween the big gaming spots of Reno and Lake Tahoe. That makes Genoa Lakes Golf Club a pretty easy course to get to from most of the popular areas in the High Sierras.

Greens are plugged
I really love this course when the greens are healthy. They are unfortunately plugged right now and bad...
Good course for the money
Paid $45 through GolfNow. Included range balls and cart. So great value. Don't think I would pay the $90 published by course
Its a good layout
Its a good layout with tees for every skill level.
The course is usually in good shape no matter the season but the greens were in bad shape, very bumpy.
Will not play it again until the greens are better.
Greens Ugh
I have played Genoa Lakes a number of times in the winter and the greens and overall course conditions have been great for winter time. Today the greens were as bad as I have ever seen. Looks like they got areated before winter hit and never healed. Two foot putts were a joke. They need to be verticut, then mowed, then rolled to make them somewhat playable.
Good course
Overall a good experience. Excellent winter conditions. Pace of play a littl on slow side. Need a Marshall to address slower groups.
Fun course
Awesome course with good views and long holes. Lots of older folk that can be kind of grouchy and kill pace of play but awesome place overall
Great Golf
We had a beautiful day at Genoa Lakes today. Warm fall weather with great views of fall leaves and snow capped peaks nearby. Course was in great condition and we finished in four hours.
Beautiful course
Overall the course was pretty good. The free range balls was a big plus, as was the beautiful scenery around the course. It was very quiet and the course layout was definitely fun and relatively easy with many of the holes being very wide and open. Only downsides was some of the greens were a bit bumpy and some of the fairways had some patchy spots, however for the most part the course is very well taken care of.
Course is up and coming
Despite the smoke, still has great views of the mountains. Full driving range, chipping green, putting green, and practice bunker were great features. Pace of play was great, never had to wait. Layout was fun and had its challenges. Quite a bit of dead grass areas and on course bunkers could use work. Overall the hot deal price was definitely worth it. Would recommend playing here.
Great Course
If you can get a deal on Golf Now it is worth it. From what I’ve heard and send, course conditions are improving considerably. Overall challenging course with some of the best background views you can get at a golf course.
Beautiful clubhouse and nice course
Dropped 8 stokes knowing the course layout the second time playing it. The water hazards are throughout the course. .
Submitted Review Already
Please see previous rewiew. It wasn’t favorable, maybe it got lost. Wouldn’t recommend it in its current condition.
