I decided to play Apple Mountain when some friends told me about it. It was spectacularly beautiful, amazing scenery, deer or bucks walking around on most holes.
The greens were fast and tough, lots of slopes and undulations. Lots of elevation changes from tee to green. Staff was excellent, plus the starter gave out a tip sheet for the course. The next time I play there I will know some of the layouts a little better, there are several blind shots. The pro shop recommended the gold tees for first timer 17 handicappers like me. I still shot 32 over. Also, bring plenty of golf balls because you will need them.
Also the price was very reasonable, and they offer a senior discount.

I will definitely play here again soon.

Course is challenging and fun. I’m glad I got a power cart, as there are some hills. Fairways were pretty wide which I like. Some of the greens were a little rough, but it looks like they might have recently aerated the greens. Lots of sand traps too! This was the first time I played here as I was visiting from out of town. I will play it again next time I come to Reno.

I played this course for only the second time. The first time was at least 25 years ago when I was in a tournament through John Ascuaga’s Nugget Casino Golf offer. I never forgot it and wanted to play it again someday, and I finally did. Although I’m not too good a golfer, I really enjoyed it. I recommend hitting off of the men’s shorter tees rather than the pro tees.. it is a very challenging course, water, sand traps, creeks, you name it it’s got it. The greens were fairly fast, but some were a little bumpy where people didn’t fix their ball marks. I especially liked the signature par 3 hole, I think it was the 15th hole. The tee box is very high looking down on the island green with a sand trap in front. The water got me this time, but I’ll be back to try it again. Great view of the Reno/Sparks city from that tee.
Although I played rather poorly, (102), my birdie on a par 3 made my day.
So I would recommend this golf course to anybody who wants a challenging, beautiful, scenic golf course to play.
