Sierra Sage Golf Course
Sierra Sage Golf Course invites players to navigate a well-kept, open-layout 18-hole course that blends desert sights with fairways designed for accuracy and strategic shot-making. A top value in Reno, the course appeals to golfers of all skill levels with challenging greens and a standout short game facility.
Course Overview
Sierra Sage Golf Course, located just west of Reno, Nevada, offers a welcoming and well-maintained 18-hole layout that balances accessibility with subtle challenges. This public course spreads across gently rolling terrain enhanced by wide-open fairways and modest elevation changes that keep every hole engaging without overwhelming players. Away from dense tree lines, the course relies on smart routing, thoughtfully placed bunkers, and medium-sized greens that reward accuracy and precise short game execution.
The course's design encourages a pace of play that suits golfers of varying skill levels, making it particularly attractive for recreational players eager to improve, as well as those seeking a reasonably challenging test without the intimidation of tight, heavily wooded holes. Sierra Sage’s greens stand out for their consistent quality and speed, creating plenty of opportunities to work on approach shots and putting under true conditions.
Its setting is distinctly open, framed by the natural high desert landscape and distant views of the Sierra Nevada mountains, injecting a sense of space and fresh air into each round. The absence of dense trees helps maintain a brisk rhythm and adds an element of wind strategy into play, especially on breezier days.
Sierra Sage takes pride in amenities that complement the on-course experience. Golfers appreciate the excellent and diverse short game practice area, featuring over 100 yards of grass teeing ground and varied lies for shots around the green. The clubhouse further enhances the visit with friendly staff, quality food options, and a welcoming bar atmosphere—local favorites include their notably spicy wings.
Whether arriving early to take advantage of flexible tee times or dropping in without a reservation, guests find the staff accommodating and ready to support an enjoyable day on the course. With value and course conditions consistently praised, Sierra Sage Golf Course remains a reliable and satisfying choice for those exploring golf around Reno or locals sharpening their game against a course that encourages thoughtful play without sacrificing fun.

Fun course outside Reno. Some parts were a little worn, but hey, it's a golf course. Wide open and you will only have issues if you aren't hitting it fairly straight. Not many trees. Some elevation changes, but nothing too crazy. The greens were not huge, so accurate approach play is really key to low scores here. Staff was awesome: I showed up here at 6am when they opened and they got me on to play an early round without having booked a tee-time. Great staff, friendly and helpful.

Love this place. Great setting. Course is always in pretty good condition, and the greens are great. The bar is awesome and food there is excellent! Especially the wings. Ask for spicy!!!

When rating bang for your buck, this course is by far the best in Reno area. Greens are relatively quick, condition is great for the price, service is friendly and it has the best short game practice area in town that’s not behind the gates of private club (100+ yards of grass with a tee box and a huge variety of lies).
