Played May 11, 2015. 8:30 shotgun tournament. Temp warming up to the 60s with winds freshening into the 20+ mph range.

Hadn't played here is a few years. Course condition was overall pretty good. Greens were pretty much perfect and quite smooth. But very slow - seemed around 8 stimp.

Fairways and rough were patchy. Lots of bare spots. Bunkers looked good. Tees were not good. Lots of bare spots, but pretty level so you could find a spot to peg it.

This is the old Sierra Nevada course which is currently owned by the folks who own Genoa Lakes Resort two miles down the road. This Genoa Ranch course was originally private but the housing market stalled and there were not enough homeowners to keep it private. About 8 years ago, six holes were removed and converted to building lots (which remain just lots, no buildings). Six holes were added, but I am told the new holes are not as good as the removed holes.

Not a bad course. The Genoa Resort course is better. Green fees at both courses are a little high for the area. There are better deals around. Both courses sit in the foothills of the sierras south of Carson City and often get strong winds. But the views are nice.

Service was good. Bar and restaurant were nice. Nothing special. Try to get a deal if you want to play either course.
