You'll never play a better game of golf than when you're in Reno Tahoe. It's science. At our altitude, golf balls automatically fly 10 percent farther. Your ball will literally slice through our thinner air like a hot knife through butter. And with over 50 courses within 90 minutes of Reno, there's a course for every level of play.
In Reno, courses include the state's oldest links — the Washoe County Golf Course, which was established in 1917 — and the newest courses, including ArrowCreek and Red Hawk. We're even home to Montreux Golf Club, home of the PGA Barracuda Championship. You'll also find courses like Wildcreek, LakeRidge and Red Hawk Golf Club in Reno.

Lakeridge Golf Course
First opened in 1969, Lakeridge is a challenging course that features one of Reno Tahoe’s signature holes. No. 15 is a miraculous 237-yard par 3 that starts with a tee box floating nearly 150 feet above a natural island green set in a pristine lake. The view of the surrounding area is spectacular; the view from the green might give you vertigo.
