Lakes Course
One of two impressive courses at the Genoa Lakes Golf Club, the Lakes course is the product of a brilliant collaboration between PGA champion Peter Jacobsen and John Harbottle III. The spectacular links-style course measures more than 7,300 yards from the tips and, true to its name, incorporates water elements on fourteen holes, including both the native wetlands and the winding Carson River. The engaging Lakes course also offers four sets of tees, lush greens, rolling fairways and charming views of the eastern Sierra Nevada. Wildlife, including deer and waterfowl, can often be spotted meandering across the fertile landscape, which is dotted by reedy wetlands and groves of cottonwood
Thanks to its two spectacular courses, the Genoa Lakes Golf Club has played host to a variety of groups and events including the Nevada State Amateur and the American Junior Golf ociation. The club is also the annual site of the U.S. Open qualifier in northern Nevada. Among its honors and accolades, Genoa Lakes has been named “Fourth Best New Public Golf Course in the U.S. and Canada,” “One of America’s Best Courses You Can Play,” and “Third Best Public Golf Course in the State of Nevada” by Golf Digest.
Golfers playing the Lakes can warm up on one of seven target greens, two practice putting greens and a chipping/bunker play practice area.

Resort Course
Situated just two miles from its sibling course at the Genoa Lakes Golf Club in the fertile Carson Valley, the Resort course was designed for distance and power. The Johnny Miller and John Harbottle III-designed course is known for its expansive layout and unparalleled high desert vistas. Measuring nearly 7,300 yards from the tips, the par-72 course features more than 300 feet in elevation change, over 100 strategically-placed bunkers and devious terrain. Fairways lined by native sagebrush and generous, undulating greens demand superior shot-making skills, but the Resort course’s five tee positions make it playable by golfers of varying abilities. Unlike its sibling course, water rarely comes into play on this layout but for the finishing holes, notably hole 17’s island green. The course also features one of the longest driving ranges in northern Nevada.
New to the Resort course is a state-of-the-art fitness center that mimics the magnificent alpine-style clubhouse. The 10,000-square-foot facility features cardio and weight rooms, a pool, saunas, lavish locker and massage rooms, an outdoor fire pit and more.
