Course Overview
Kiley Ranch Golf Club offers a down-to-earth golfing experience at a budget-friendly price point, making it an accessible option for players seeking a straightforward round in the Sparks, Nevada area. This 18-hole course presents a layout that leans toward the shorter side, with modest elevation changes and gentle mounds that add a subtle challenge to each hole.

So, it’s cheap. That’s about all I can say that is positive. Sand traps with bushes in them, starter just sending people out on top of each other. Took two hours to play 9 holes…should take 45min. Just look at the pictures.

Great staff considering they were under staffed. Rented clubs and walked the course. Don’t know why there’s carts for a short course that has small mounds to walk over. My next visit to Reno I would definitely play here again.

The bar is so great! The people (Eric, Brian, Paul…) are friendly and welcoming, and they always remember your name and favorite drink. It’s a cute spot! Now that they’ve added some nice munchie food it’s even better. If only my dog could come with me this place would be perfect.

The only reason I gave this course 2 stars was the people that run this course are super nice. The fairways had a lot of over grown weeds. The greens were super slow. Yea it’s cheap. But I found it boring because every tee shot was about the same distance. I basically used three clubs today! I thought about using different tee boxes on each hole to change it up.
