If you fancy yourself as a John Daly bomber or Aquaman, Sunridge Golf Club could be the golf course for you. There are monster holes and mammoth lakes on this very reasonable Carson Valley golf course that's an easy half-hour drive from both Lake Tahoe and Reno. The 669-yards par 5 11th - the longest hole in the scenic High Sierras region and then some - draws your attention as soon as you look at the scorecard. But the 26 acres of water on the golf course will probably provide more challenge and thrills.
There's also a hole with a 300-foot drop from the tee to the fairway (No. 14), a tiny par 3 19th bet-decider hole and a ton of driveable par 4s that almost beg for you to go for it. As a bonus, Sunridge Golf Club's green fees wow many vacationers used to Tahoe pricing.
