Toiyabe Golf Club
Toiyabe Golf Club offers an 18-hole public layout set amid stunning views of Mt. Rose and the Washoe Valley. Combining wide fairways, rolling greens, and natural hazards, it provides a test of strategy and precision for players at all levels.
Course Overview
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Mt. Rose and the expansive Washoe Valley, Toiyabe Golf Club invites golfers into a landscape where natural beauty meets thoughtful design. This 18-hole public course offers a challenge that appeals to a broad range of skill levels, combining generous fairways with greens that demand precision and strategic play. The gentle rolls of the terrain echo a subtle links influence, with wide fairways that open opportunities off the tee while the undulating greens test even the steadiest putters.
Throughout the round, golfers will encounter several holes requiring carefully shaped shots. Small creeks and hazard areas intersect key fairways and guard select greens, rewarding those who approach with both accuracy and patience. The back nine increases in complexity, its softer fairways absorbing shots and introducing subtle contour shifts that emphasize shot placement over power.
The course’s maintenance is consistently praised, with fairways and greens kept in excellent condition to provide a true and fast putting surface. Players can expect fast greens with intricate slopes that challenge green reading and pace control, elevating the overall experience beyond mere distance management. Afternoon winds introduce an additional element of unpredictability, demanding thoughtful club selection and controlled tempo.
While the layout may be complex for first-time visitors due to a routing that doubles back at times, Toiyabe offers tools such as a downloadable course app to assist navigation. The surrounding community feels open despite some nearby residences, which blend seamlessly into the landscape without impinging on the golfing experience.
Toiyabe Golf Club’s clubhouse reflects the same attentiveness found on the course, staffed with welcoming professionals ready to enhance your visit. Its setting, about 20 minutes south of Reno, makes it a must-play destination for golfers traveling through the area. From casual rounds to tournament play, the course balances engaging design with natural wonder, all while demanding thoughtful shots and rewarding those who respect its subtleties.

Great golf

Beautiful course in a gated community, 20 minutes south of Reno. Excellent conditions, from tee to green. Some fairways had a links type feel. Greens were in awesome shape and rolling fast...also challenging, as there seemed to be slope and break in play on any putt farther than a tap-in. Sure there are some houses around, but not a lot and they fit in well with the views...its not like the fairways were lined with houses by any means. The guys in the pro shop were very nice and helpful. Toiyabi could be a little tricky to navigate for 1st timers, as it doubles-back a bit and there is no course layout on the scorecard. But there is an app to download and help navigate. Great course, I would play it again if I were in the area.

Fair course in good condition and true rolling greens. Pretty wide fairways and windy in the afternoon. Play it smart and you will do good here. The back 9 is a little more challenging and softer (mud) fairways.

Had a chance to play a practice round here before the actual tournament. The place is clean and well run. Course is in great shape with interesting holes, some forced carrys, and holes that require you to shape shots off the tee to get in the right position for the best approach angle. You will want to play a practice round first if not familiar with the routing as there are small creeks and hazzard areas cutting across a few fairways and in front of a couple of greens. Speaking of greens, they roll fast and true, but have tricky undulations to challenge your green reading ability. A definite "must play" if you are in the Carson City area.
