Played in a 3-some (first off) on the morning of 5/26/09 with my wife and "Mark" from the Bay area, who had played the course the day before. If you want elevation changes, then this is the course for you to play in the Reno area! I can't remember a single hole that didn't have a pretty major elevation change. There are some great views of downtown Reno from this course. The conditions were very good. The tee boxes showed some wear, but the fairways and greens were in very good condition. The 1st cut of the rough was easily playable, but the 2nd cut was quite a bit thicker, and required some muscle to get out of. The greens were generally pretty large and held shots pretty well. They were smooth and rolled very true. Many had some pretty severe undulation, and required hitting the correct level if you had any hopes of 2-putting. The course is nicely located about 4 miles off the freeway, so the trip from downtown Reno was about 15 minutes to the course. The course is located in a housing development, that isn't completed, so now it doesn't feel like you're playing through a housing development. That feeling could change soon if the plotted out lots are developed anytime soon. The starter was great, moving us up to join "Mark" as first off about 20 minutes ahead of our scheduled tee time. Course knowledge provided by "Mark" helped a great deal even though the GPS information on the carts was good.
