Fantastic day
Fantastic day We enjoyed ourselves and recommended the trip. Look forward to playing in the near future
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.
Very Nice Course
I was very fortunate to have been able to play this course for $17 Very happy about that. I wish the weather had been better.
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.
Fun course
Front nine a little rough. Back nine spectacular. Great layout, good pro shop, snack bar and cart girl were off duty a little early but no big deal.
