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.

First Time Playing

Lots of ball-swallowing water!

First time playing this course. Based on its course rating, I was expecting it to be fairly straightforward, but it seemed like water came into play on at least half of the holes. There also were lots of man-made moguls which made locating your ball a little more difficult, and a few challenging lies. Being it is January, the grass is yellow/brown. Would definitely like to come back in spring/summer, when the course is green. Will definitely bring lots of balls, however!

Course was never open

I feel like my money was stolen. The course was never open. I showed up for my tee time and the course was closed. The tee sheet should have not been open.

Great track for the money!

You honestly cant get a better course in the Reno/Carson area for the price. Its well maintained and a good layout. Greens roll smooth and not a lot of dead grass, which is tough for a desert course.

Bunkers could be a better sand but for 40 bucks you cant expect Agusta white bunkers.

Dayton Valley Golf Club

Having never played this course before, I was fortunate to get paired up with a couple of guys who play there semi regularly. Without their insights the course would have tough to navigate. The course “layout” on the back of score card did little in the way of preparing you for the hazards, water, green locations, and narrow fairway widths. I normally shoot about 84-85, but shot a 90 on this course.

Great Course to Spend a Birthday

The course was somewhat challenging, and a great layout. was playing my best round ever, until the last fours holes, which added six stokes and finished with a 81. Beautiful neighborhood. Temperature was in the low 60s and zero wind which is a rarity so we were told. Hot dogs at the turn we awesome as well as the drinks from the bar. All in all five starts from me.

Too slow

Beautiful day, too many slow intermediate players no marshal . After 4 holes in1/1/2 hours I went to back nine which was fine. So played 13 holes. Love the course, but play could be managed better.
