LakeRidge Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones course that has consistently been voted the "Best of Reno" ever since it first opened in 1969. Though the course sits less than five miles from downtown, the surrounding mountains provide a tucked-away feel. There are some stunning views from the elevated tees but don't get too distracted, this challenging course demands your attention. Mature trees tower over the fairways but they are thankfully wide enough to offer a little room for error. Water comes into play frequently and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along the undulating greens. Accuracy is essential at LakeRidge Golf Course. The signature hole is the par-3 15th. This tee sits atop a rocky ridge that is perched 140 feet above Lake Stanley. You'll be playing downhill to an island green on this challenging but scenic hole.

Fun course layout

This is one of my favorite Reno courses. The front nine plays like a meadows course, while the back nine has some great elevation change. The signature 15th hole par is very fun! The whole course plays cohesively. The 4 stars on course conditions was sue to the fact that the greens and fairways had just been sanded. It Played better once the greens dried out a bit.

Great course…but those tee boxes

Nice course to play. Signature 15th island hole is an awesome pic opportunity. Course condition was pretty good for this time of year. The tee boxes continue to disappoint as they are in not good shape and in majority of cases uneven and not well maintained.

Bad Ending

Course itself was kept up to date and nice to a certain extent, the pace of play was bad. Waiting for the group in front for every single shot through all 18. When we arrived to the 18th hole, after paying extra and starting earlier to make sure to play a full 18 we were kicked off the 18th hole because carts were due in, we were never informed when carts were due, after teeing off on 18 the staff informed us we could not finish the last hole and needed to leave, after a conversation the staff kicking us off was extremely rude. We had to pick our balls up out of the fairway and leave the last hole. Will not be returning.

Good Day

The course was in great condition. The pace of play was a little slow. I thought that an extra $25.00 so I could have my own cart was very excessive. I also enjoyed the group I was paired with.
LakeRidge is a beautiful course!!

Too Wet and Too Slow!

Love this course but it's being over-watered and we were waiting on a slow threesome the entire round - on a quiet Tuesday. 4 1/2 hours when it should have been far less than 4 hours. Where were the course marshals?

2023-11-13 Beautiful Day at LakeRidge

Our threesome had a great day! Temps hit the mid-60s in the PM. Greens were soft with some tough pin placements. We all made it onto the island green with our first tee shots! Enjoy playing LakeRidge every year!

Fun course in very good shape. Greens didn’t seem fast but they had movement and every comebacker was at least 3 feet. Good challenge, with lots of water hazards. Pace of play is on the slow side.
