“Wait until the 17th hole...dramatic 138' drop from tee box to fairway, with Galena Creek winding through it! A potentially rewarding hole near the end of the round!"

“A private community course that is well designed with but 3's and 5's in all four directions. Many elevation changes and in very good condition."

“Mountain tree-lined course located at an elevation ranging from 5,600 feet to almost 6,000 feet at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This tree lined course follows the natural terrain and features elevation changes throughout, water features and well-manicured fairways, greens and bunkers. The elevation of the course impacted club selection by as much as 10% requiring the player to accurately assess shot distances and carry. When played fairways were firm and fast. Greens were firm, fast (running at approx. 12) and receptive to well struck approach shots. Putting accuracy was challenged by the surrounding mountains and valley. Excellent hole variety with each hole distinctive with no two being similar. Great variety of short, medium and long holes moving both right and left and up and down hill. Risk reward shot opportunities were available on many of the holes. Overall, enjoyable and challenging course to play. Required the player to use a variety of shots."

“A Jack Nicklaus Signature course set in the Sierra Nevada foothills in a private community located 30 min south of Reno, Nevada. The course sits 5500 ft. above sea level. The signature 17th hole is a downhill par 4 that drops 138 ft. From the tee box, with a stream along the left side of the fairway. There are over 70 fairway bunkers."
