Dayton Valley Golf Club is an Arnold Palmer Signature design that has been a PGA Tour Qualifier course since 1995, making it the longest standing site in the country. The course is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and stretches across the valley below. The rolling, links-style layout features sculpted fairways and large, undulating greens. You may find yourself faced with a tough lie even after a good shot. It's a challenging test with plenty of water and strategically placed bunkers coming into play throughout. Careful shot placement is especially important on the water holes at Dayton Valley G.C. The most difficult hole on the golf course is the par-4 ninth. It's a lengthy dogleg left with water down along the entire left side of the fairway and short and right of the green. On your approach, hitting left of the green you'll find heavy rough or pot bunkers.

Cart girl was excellent

Bloody Marys were only $6. Best price in Nevada. I play 4 rounds this week and this was the second best course conditions besides Edgewood. But for the price this was the best value for the money.

Early season play

Dayton has new owners and they are making many positive changes. Today the greens were a little slow (recently airated and sanded) but they will get faster from here. If you are new to the course, it is worth every penny.

Good experience

Jason was very friendly and helpful in the pro shop. The course was fun but challenging. Greens were consistent and fair. Water came into play on about half the holes. A great day of golf. Will play this again!

Frosty times

Even tho the course had a flash freeze, the staff had informed the players on course updates promptly. Also had the peace of game flowing with minimal back up. Way to go Dayton.

Love Dayton

Dayton played wonderfully for mid march. We went out right before mens club and ended up playing in 3 hours and 15 min.
Overall, fairways were good. Greens rolled nice. And Arnie's course always plays tough. Recommend highly.

Heartless Animals

Bar Tender sits with customers rather than tending bar.Food is served cold, only some people wear masks, very dirty facilities.
Employees have Harassed Disabled people and veterans if you can believeit, and turn residents against each other, then get rewarded.
New Management and staff is desperately needed.

blue bird day

What a beautiful day for mid winter golf in the high desert. Playing with friends is always fun. Despite the fact that the course is pretty much brown it played very fairly. Plenty of water to get in your way so have a few extra water balls handy. The greens were rolling great with not much break which was nice. Then need to replace their range mats would be my one suggestion.
