Kick ass...I work in Reno and live 35 minutes away in Fernley. Have you ever been here?

If not...you can't go wrong with the following:

  • D'Andrea
  • Red Hawk
  • Wolf Run
  • Lakeridge
  • Arrowcreek

Those would be the semi-costly courses...all but Arrowcreek should be under $100 though. As far as a bit cheaper try:
  • Northgate
  • Wildcreek
  • Rosewood Lakes
  • Kiley Ranch (Par 3 Course)

There are a ton more options if you are willing to drive a bit also. There are a ton up in the Tahoe area then a ton more in the Carson City area.

I will actually be at Kiley Ranch on the 9th, then have a tournament at my home course in Fernley on the 10th...so I'm not sure if I could join you for a round unfortunately.

Hope you have a good time nonetheless!

P.S. - You should also check out GolfNow.com for discounted tee times over here. Sometime they offer great deals. Other times they try to charge you more than the course would itself...so be sure to check with the course first

I have never been there. 2nd time coming to reno for hot august nights.

On thursday i think i'll play at Red Hawk or D'Andrea. They are near sparks where the car show is at.

Arrowcreek looks nice but is it private? I might play friday also.

I guess i can't make a Tee time because it is only me playing. Do you know if i'll have to wait a long time to get on the course?

I would recommend Red Hawk over D'Andrea...only because D'Andrea kicks my ass. D'Andrea is closer to all the Hot August Nights stuff though.

Arrowcreek is currenlty open for public play...for a limited time. May want to call the proshop ahead of time to be sure you can get on.

If you plan on playing on the 9th, let me know as I may be able to squeeze out of the Boss's tournament...

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      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?
