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

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
