High desert layout on the eastern edge of Carson City where the Sierra Nevada foothills start to roll
High desert layout on the eastern edge of Carson City where the Sierra Nevada foothills start to roll. The terrain moves enough to keep things interesting without punishing your legs. Routing works in your favor here. Holes connect logically, with minimal backtracking between greens and tees. Elevation sits around 4,700 feet, so factor in thinner air and drink more water than you think you need. Morning rounds in summer beat the afternoon heat. Winter walking works too when the course stays open, just layer up. Carts are available but unnecessary. The kind of munis where locals know to walk and visitors figure it out by the turn.
