Forget that "Biggest Little City in The World" moniker - for golfers, Reno is the city that hasn't forgotten that life in the country can be mighty fine too.
Reno gives vacationers big-time casinos while also providing them with easy access to a great outdoors wonderland. This includes dramatic golf in the shadow of towering mountains and rushing creeks - as well as every other pursuit an outdoorsman with a love for gambling could appreciate.
Where else can you golf in the morning and river raft in the afternoon? Or vice versa. Or spend one night in a neon casino with suites that any high roller would appreciate and the next in a rustic bed & breakfast in a charming river town area.
The sheer quality of the golf will surprise you. There are 45 golf courses within 90 minutes drive of Reno's main casino area, with many options from designers like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones within 15 minutes. The vast differences in the types of courses you can play might astonish you.
There are courses like ArrowCreek Country Club that could intimidate an acrobat with all it high forced near-canyon carries. Jack Nicklaus' Montreux Golf & Country Club is good enough to host a regular PGA Tour event. LakeRidge Golf Course features a par-3 island green (No. 15) that's moved past local legend into one confounding tourist attraction.
