Genoa Lakes Golf Club - Lakes Course
Genoa, Nevada | 18 holes | Par: 72 | 7359 yards
Want a golf course in the Lake Tahoe-Reno area where you'll see cows, deer and red hawks? Not to mention water and more water. The Lakes Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club could be the ticket. Lakes Course is a long course with water on 14 of the 18 holes, many of them wetland views. You're not playing true links golf, but it's probably as close as you'll get in this land where big casinos compete with river rafting, mountain biking and other outdoor pursuits.
The Genoa Lakes Golf Club's Lakes Course brings water into Lake Tahoe-Reno golf. It's found on 14 of the 18 hole on the Lakes Course and it's not always nice tame water of staid old country clubs either. Sometimes you'll be shooting over near swamps with tall gnarly grasses poking out of them. That's the Lakes Course.
It's one of the more natural settings in an area known for its nature settings. You'll see cows along the border of the course - and birds will come flying up that you probably can't identify.
Lakes Course is a Peter Jacobsen and John Harbottle III design with rolling fairways, some tight shot openings and good views. It's 7,359 yards of golf with the Carson River and wetlands riding shotgun. It's located in Carson Valley, an often forgotten town, that's right inbetween the big gaming spots of Reno and Lake Tahoe. That makes Genoa Lakes Golf Club a pretty easy course to get to from most of the popular areas in the High Sierras.
