Washoe Golf Course

Popular old course I’ve played many times over almost fifty years.

Very nice playable Muni. Very close to peppermill. Very small greens which places premium accuracy on approach shots. Very walkable course if feeling like exercise

Overall, the round was fine after getting in front of the groups ahead of us for the back nine. In the front, one group had 5 players playing, which we know is incorrect. Then, a massive group of 9 people “trying” to play, being mulligans, and holding up everyone behind. I’m all for people learning how to play and having fun but you have to be considerate and show golf etiquette. Going forward, washoe GC needs to regulate groups more accurately and speed pace of play.

Course is challenging and fun. I’m glad I got a power cart, as there are some hills. Fairways were pretty wide which I like. Some of the greens were a little rough, but it looks like they might have recently aerated the greens. Lots of sand traps too! This was the first time I played here as I was visiting from out of town. I will play it again next time I come to Reno.

Great course for the money. Green compared to other courses at this time of the year. Good flow and nice staff. Perfect.

I really liked the fairways because they were nice and green, please keep them this way, don't let them get away from you. The greens were very fast and were air-rated. once they grow back in I'm hoping they are really nice. We would like to see just a few ball washers out there if possible. Don't know if this is covid related that there are none. See ya soon.

Still a lot of fun. Greens are going to need a little more help but it’s still early in the season.

Course was in relatively good shape considering it's just recovering from winter. The freshly punched green didn't help my putting, however.

The course is not in good shape even for winter golf. Greens are inconsistent and the fairways are average. Doesn’t appear to be much maintenance happening.
Unfortunately there was a disc golf tournament happening at the same time as golfing was going on on this particular Sunday afternoon. This caused a few verbal confrontations between the golfers in our group and the frisbee players. Staff was friendly.

Course is only a mile from the Peppermill Casino Resort that we where staying at. So a 5 minute drive.

Played this course in middle of March so the trees where bare of leaves which makes the course seem wider then usual.

There is a disc golf course interwoven with the golf course and the disc golfers will walk into your field of view when teeing off on a few holes so beware.

Driving range only allows a 250 yard hit at max distance so be aware of that as well.

If you hit onto the gravel golf cart path take relief..
No need to ruin a club!

Bunkers are playable which is not bad for a public course of this size.

#10 tee box is along the parking lot and the netting is a little low and open for my liking with cars parked there.

So if you go right be aware of that.

Club house has a good sports bar atmosphere for a public course.

Pro shop to check in is below the club house and the entrance is down some stairs. So if it's your first time you could get lost.
Look for where all the golf carts are parked by the putting green and you will find the Pro Shop.

Like the Pro said when I mentioned it was a hidden entrance he said " it's always easier to find the second time". I bet he must say that alot.
Rates are reasonable this course and staff is professional and friendly.

For the discount I got via Golf Pass, this was a reasonably great deal. This course over the last few years has lacked essential upkeep especially in maintaining the cart paths and overall the entire course. It’s pretty evident that this was once a very respectable and beautiful GC but is now for various reasons is losing its luster and previous grandeur. Specifically, the course has not kept up with some essential and required maintenance, not all of which is the responsibility of the course managers, ie the lack of water for effective irrigation. The location is perfect for those visiting or living in Reno proper, however the location is also in my opinion, a probable and possible negative in the ever expanding housing and development of Reno. This property must look very enticing to some developers currently very active in Reno! Just thinking out aloud if this lack of maintenance is not purposeful and a precursor to something more sinister?

Need to figure out a better way to have golfers and folfers on the course together. Too slow. Took 5.5 hrs to play 18 holes. Need to have a marshal on the course, several out of control drinkers yelling, screaming, barfing.
