Founded in 1917, Washoe Golf Course is the oldest golfing facility in Reno. The layout has small greens and tree-lined fairways, but the fairways are wide and flat making them fairly forgiving. There are water hazards and bunkers strategically placed throughout. The mature landscape is carefully maintained with an elaborate sprinkler system that ensures that the course is green and ready for play all year round. Washoe Golf Course also has PGA Professionals on staff to help with individual or group instruction and extensive practice facilities that include a generous putting green, driving range, and a chipping area with practice bunker.

WASHOE

Staff was great as always. The course was in good shape, I just wish that courses here would put the 100-150-200 yardage makers on a small pole along the carts paths. There are too many times that one doesn't see them in the fairways, and then they are passed by. Just a 150 marker would be good..
Thank You, see ya soon!

Great course for the Pro and the beginner

Course was very nice , greens were very fast and dry but all in if you stay fairway it’s a good game, trees are primary hazard on this course so stay a straight away and your golden.

Good overall

Good value for the cost of the round. Pace of play was quite slow. Some areas of the course were over-watered and muddy.

Always fun

Washoe seems flat and average on the front 9, then the back nine reaches up, puts hills, swales and other stuff in your way. It is always a fun course to play and many holes will challenge even accomplished golfers. Not to hard on the wallet either.

Poorly managed.

I was a solo and was paired with another solo. It was an booked day so we had to wait for our turn like every other group. But instead the old man I was with started shooting at people almost hitting them he did this to like 5 groups on the front nine alone. Then he left and I jumped in with a 3 some so I wasn’t all alone again. Course was wayyyyy too wet they have nothing taken care of. They should charge like 10$ for that pod.

Washoe 7/12/22

The greens and fairways were in very nice shape but everything was extremely wet. Tee off 11:30am yet some fairways had sprinklers on. Some areas were like a bog. It lowered our enjoyment on parts of the course. They are doing a nice job of keeping the greens and fairways good but they should modify their watering schedules. Also the bunkers were very hard and many were wet. The staff was super nice and we still had a fun round of golf.
