Dayton Valley Golf Club
Played On 04/18/2024Great Value Deal
The course was in great shape and reasonably well maintained especially after a long and extended winter in Northern Nevada. The check in was very professional and efficient and the host was very nice to deal with. Since we were about 40 minutes early and since the 1st tee was open, he let us on before our designated tee time reservation. For the TeeOff Online DEAL for this reservation and this GC, this was a great deal. Hoping for more similar deals in the near future
East at Eagle Valley Golf Course
Played On 02/27/2024Great TeeOff / GolfNow Deal
Great deals from TeeOff /GolfNow.
For the money via the online deal, this is one of the better ones in the Reno / Carson Valley area.
Both of the Eagle Valley GCs ( East and West) are not exceptionally “great courses” but for the money, the staff and playing conditions, this is my go to course. I can play here with some type of online discount, rewards and/or credit for ~$20 for 18 holes, including a cart.
And if you live in Reno, the gas prices in Carson Valley is often 35 - 50 cents a gallon cheaper. ( using Safeway, Maverick, Costco as comparison vendors).
Washoe Golf Course
Played On 08/15/2023This Once Jewel is No More
Yes and evidently this was once the jewel of golf courses in Reno, but alas it’s not anymore. We (threesome) played 9 holes in over 21/2 hours. Two of my threesome left after 9 holes, clearly knowing and seeing the back 9 not getting any better. No Marshal and no help with managing the speed of play or lack thereof. The course is also unfortunately in dire state of irrelevance. Sorry but the course is not getting the maintenance it deserves. I believe it is only minimally functional due to the tolerance and support of the mainly “old timers” who seem to not be bothered by the conditions. Many courses in the Reno Central area have closed or repurposed and I suspect that this previous “jewel” is perhaps the next. Nostalgia is about the only thing keeping this course relevant.
Prime property in central Reno where housing shortage is a growing problem could possibly be a reason for the purposeful lack of interest in maintaining this “jewel” of days gone by!
Staff are typically very helpful and cordial but they are not the ones making the management decisions.
Sierra/River at Empire Ranch Golf Course
Played On 07/12/2023Course Has Had Flood Damage
Due to the recent excessive and somewhat rapid snowmelt in the Sierras some of the flatlands in the valleys have experienced flooding and this course has had its share of flood damage and disruptions. Like to support them though by playing there but will wait for a few more weeks to see how there deal with the recovery.
Course layout has been convoluted due to the flooding.
West at Eagle Valley Golf Course
Played On 06/29/2023As Always - This is a Good Deal
The staff, amenities and overall this place is a very pleasant and welcoming golf course.
The pace of play unfortunately was very slow, but understandably tolerable for a the first genuinely hot June day, albeit on the 29th. June.
Played here many times in the past via the GolfNow /TeeOff app and have been very satisfied with their member discounts. Unfortunately and since I live in NW Reno, there are not as many AM or early PM deals, otherwise I would be playing here more. The ride from NW Reno is approximately 45 miles and takes around 50 minutes with no traffic. Alternatively and preferably, I am hoping Golfnow / TeeOff will be offering more great deals for the Reno proper areas.
Ponderosa Golf Course
Played On 05/24/2023Great Deal for Truckee Area
This was a great deal not necessarily because of the golf course or the amenities but more of where the course is (Truckee, Ca.). The course was in a reasonably good condition considering the awesome amount of snow the area has had this past winter. The online TeeOff / GolfNow Pass member deal was exceptional especially since I was able to use one of my monthly award discounts. This is always a great 9 hole to play when in Truckee. Reasonably easy walking experience, one legitimate 5 par, two par 3s the rest par 4s. Check out the online deals especially in the early AM.
Dutcher Creek Golf Course
Played On 05/05/2023For the Money - A Very Good Deal
For the money, the online deal and the ease of using Tee Off / Golf Now this was great deal
East at Eagle Valley Golf Course
Played On 10/20/2022OK But Not Great
For the money and in this area, this was an OK deal from Golf Now GolfPass but the course was and has been in a state of disrepair for sometime now. Especially the swampy conditions on several holes and the cart paths. Sorry to see this course lacking the proper and obvious attention to adequate maintenance.
Can’t understand why some areas on several holes there are evidence of over watering. The saturation is pretty evident, excessive and damaging and has been going on for some time now. Can’t imagine the course management is not cognizant of these conditions and more importantly, can’t make the simple adjustments to reduce the excessive watering. Would love to hear the course manager’s response.
Greenhorn Creek Golf Course
Played On 10/03/2022Good Deal
Another very good deal for the Golf Now / TeeOff Golf online reservations.
Sierra/River at Empire Ranch Golf Course

Wolf Run Golf Club
Played On 07/27/2022Another Very Good Outing @ Wolf Run GC
Another reasonably priced deal from TeeOff / Golf Now - Golf Pass Deals.
Have been a GolfPass member for > 2 years and other than a few occasional hiccups with online reservation postings and availabilities, I have been impressed and for me it has been a great deal so far. I typically play 1x week by preference.
East at Eagle Valley Golf Course
Played On 07/05/2022Washoe Golf Course
Played On 05/17/2022Good but not Necessarily Great
As I have mentioned in my recent previous reviews, this a a good but not a great deal. This was perhaps one of the premiere golf courses of Reno in years past. Now it is just OK, mainly because it has not been maintained as well as it can be expected of this prime property.

The Hills Course at Red Hawk
Played On 04/06/2022Another Great GolfNow Pass Deal
For the money, this has got to be one of the better deals in the Reno / Tahoe area. The course was in immaculate condition, considering it is early spring in Reno / Sparks. Brand new carts with all the essential features. Hoping for more GolfNow / TeeOff Golf Pass Deals for this course on an ongoing basis. Golfed with my son visiting the area from the DC / Northern Virginia area and he was equally as impressed.
East at Eagle Valley Golf Course
Played On 03/23/2022Another Good Deal from Golf Now / TeeOff Golf
For the money I paid for this deal, this was a. very good deal! The East Course has seen some very encouraging improvements in the last few years, namely the maintenance of this course and more specifically the fairways and to some extent the greens. In the past and at least for me personally, I found anything beyond the 1st cut was unreasonably thick and difficult to play and challenging. Most of the cart paths still need more TLC and some low areas of the fairway are very soggy from apparent and continual over watering.
Washoe Golf Course
Played On 02/04/2022For the money this was a pleasant experience
For the discount I got via Golf Pass, this was a reasonably great deal. This course over the last few years has lacked essential upkeep especially in maintaining the cart paths and overall the entire course. It’s pretty evident that this was once a very respectable and beautiful GC but is now for various reasons is losing its luster and previous grandeur. Specifically, the course has not kept up with some essential and required maintenance, not all of which is the responsibility of the course managers, ie the lack of water for effective irrigation. The location is perfect for those visiting or living in Reno proper, however the location is also in my opinion, a probable and possible negative in the ever expanding housing and development of Reno. This property must look very enticing to some developers currently very active in Reno! Just thinking out aloud if this lack of maintenance is not purposeful and a precursor to something more sinister?
LakeRidge Golf Course
Played On 01/12/2022Another TeeOff Deal
For the money I paid via TeeOff Golf, this was a great deal
East at Eagle Valley Golf Course
Played On 09/22/2021Good Deal for An Average Course
TeeOff Deal was nice. The course is at best an average course for the money. Many areas of the course was over watered and several places were swamp like due to the over watering. Saw several signs of deep gouges in the turf where the carts ran into swampy ground. My golf partner got his cart stuck (mid fairway) in muck and I had to help bail him out. Seems so unnecessary to waste water like the course does. Understandably, it’s recycled or waste treated water, but nonetheless an overkill. Especially in an arid area like Carson Valley and when the area is experiencing severe drought conditions, the over watering seems excessive and wasteful.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u000005134607. We appreciate your patience as our course recovers. Thanks for visiting Comstock/River at Empire Ranch Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
