Great course

Favorite course in the area. Always a challenge with 30mph winds. Staff are some of the best in the area. Alway look forward to a good roll on their greens. Worth the time and money to play. GN has some great rates. Play early if possible.

Beautiful Course - Friendliest Staff

Everyone at this golf club is friendly. They make you feel welcome. The course is top notch and very affordable. IMO the best course in the Reno/Tahoe area for the average golfer.

Best of the area

Very nice course. A couple funky holes on front nine but overall good/great layout. Very nice par 3s and back nine is special. My favorite of all the courses in Carson Valley.

Excellent course

The course was in good shape for this time of year. One par 4 was wet & therefore was set up as a par 3. It's a great course layout with all holes unique.

Course is in horrible shape

Course is in rough shape. Temp green on one of the holes, par 4 changed to par 3, bunkers were muddy or wet. I understand that winter was rough this year, but paying $60 is not worth it. Could have played a course in better shape for $75. Also, when I checked in the guy wanted to charge me again.
