High desert layout carved into the Sierra Nevada foothills northwest of Reno
High desert layout carved into the Sierra Nevada foothills northwest of Reno. The terrain moves with the natural contours of the land, which means you'll earn your exercise on some holes. Elevation changes are real but manageable for anyone in reasonable shape. Walking is permitted, though carts dominate the scene. The course plays through a residential development, but mature landscaping and mountain views keep your attention on the golf. Greens are well maintained and the routing makes sense on foot. Mornings are ideal. The afternoon wind can turn a pleasant walk into a workout.
