I am new to the scene here in Carson and Reno I am from the Bay Area in California I enjoy often a lot of the beautiful costal golf spots there,  few buddies of mine have brought me to a few nice gold grounds out here. I wanted to know most personally recommend golf grounds here in Northern Nevada. 

Seeking to find spots, I’m no professional but I enjoy golfing for the fun and the atmosphere of it. 

Shared some pictures of fun times in Pebble Beach beautiful weather love it there I go often.

What kind of info are you interested in? 

I live in Kings beach (Tahoe) and play all around the area. Mostly play Reno when the courses up here close in late October and snow starts flying.

Some great courses up here in North Lake but pretty $$$ since it's a tourist area. Old greenwood,greys crossing, coyote moon, Tahoe donner, northstar, old brockway, and incline village championship are the best.

Plumas county has the best courses around for the $$. Whitehawk ranch, grizzly ranch, plumas pines, the dragon, and Graeagle meadows are all worth playing

Reno has 3 munis owned by the city. Sierra sage, Wildcreek, and washoe. Personally I like Sierra sage best for winter golf since it's only $15 to walk all you can play twilight. I would take Wildcreek over washoe

Red hawk is my go to for mid-tier. 2 different courses with reasonable fees ($39 twilight) and some cool views from the hills course. Other mid-tier in the area are wolf run, lakeridge, toyiobe, and Dayton valley. 

Never played Genoa lakes but it's supposed to be nice and has 2 different courses right at the base of the mountains below heavenly ski resort.

In south lake Edgewood is the creme de la creme of local courses but will run you $$$$. Lake Tahoe muni in south lake is a fun course with cool views but would stay away on weekends since it gets a ton of play

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
