Genoa Lakes Golf Club - Resort Course
Genoa, Nevada | 18 holes | Par: 72 | 7290 yards
Resort Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club puts the challenge into Reno-Lake Tahoe golf. The co-course architect is Johnny Miller and you may think you hear the caustic golf announcer reviewing your shots when you try to go to bold at Resort Course. Located in Carson Valley, an easy drive to both Reno and Lake Tahoe, Resort Course is a big course with elevation changes and bunkers galore.
Resort Course at Genoa Lakes Golf Club is a Johnny Miller co-design that's a short drive from its sister Lakes Course. The two courses will never be mistaken for each other though. Resort Course is a pumped up course that's big in almost every way. There are over 300 feet of elevation changes and in excess of 100 bunkers around the course.
Miller and his design partner John Harbottle III put together a course that plays as bold and showy as Las Vegas. Only it's located in Carson Valley, halfway in-between the more nature resort towns of Reno and Lake Tahoe.
The bunkering can be severe on Genoa Lakes' Resort Course and the mountain scenery can be even more striking. Even though it's not far from the Lakes Course, the Resort Course is definitely set up in its own world.
Miller gives golfers a fighting chance though and often the latitude to decide their own fate. Resort Course at Genoa Lakes is full of risk-reward holes. Most notable might be No. 18. This 561-yard par 5 gives you not one, but two shots (minimum) where you must decide how much lake you want to try and cut.
