Toiyabe Golf Club
About
Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Toiyabe Golf Club (formerly known as Thunder Canyon Country Club and Lightning "W" Ranch Golf Course.) has a picturesque landscape of shimmering lakes, meandering streams, and towering pines. This course has a traditional layout that features contoured fairways and fast, generous greens. There are nearly 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout and water comes into play on 14 holes. Elevated tees provide spectacular views of Mt. Rose and Slide Mountain. The golf course is challenging but still player-friendly with seven sets of tees. In addition to the course, Toiyabe Golf Club also offers practice facilities that include chipping and sand practice areas along with an expansive putting green.

Staff
Staff was very friendly. They had several big groups in the course at the same time and everything was extremely smooth. Great experience!
Slow Day
Love Toiyobi Golf course! Greens are fast & true. Starting to get some wet spots on the course. 5:10 hour round. No marshall. #16 is a joke!!! They moved the white & blue tees back to the tips because a new home owner complained about balls hitting his house. What do you expect when you build a monstrous house less than 20' from the course in the slice zone. I can't believe that Duncan Golf bowed to this guy!
Very nice course
My hubby and I played this course upon recommendation from a friend and we were very impressed. The staff in the pro shop and on the course were friendly. The course was in great condition and the pace of play was very good. We were able to book a Hot Deal tee time and it was worth it. We will definitely go back again when we are in the area.
Gorgeous Course
It tends to get pretty windy here, but the course is well kept & tons of fun!
Always good.
Played an afternoon round so the wind was up. Course in good shape coming out of the winter. Rough was up, greens medium fast but love the setting.
A Great Day of Golf
I played the front nine as a single, but joined the couple ahead of me on hole number ten. There were times when we waited on the foursome in front of us, but it was never a problem. The course was in excellent shape, as it was when I played there four years ago. I will play Toiyabe again, the next time I'm in the area. Nice people and real "bang for the buck."
Great Afternoon
First time playing this course. Great day, great round. Greens were spectacular.
Tough Rough
Nice course, fast greens, rough is deep and makes the course play longer than listed.
5.5 Hour Saturday morning round
Title says it all. They will say it was a frost delay but really it was poor marshaling. 2 somes out there, 5 somes, open course in front of the lead group. Duncan stacks their tee times too close
Grounds crew is doing a stella job, course looks/played great for early season. Weather was great but the pace really hampered the morning
Toiyabe golf course
Course was extremely challenging due to the wind late in the afternoon

This is one of my favorite courses in Reno area. I was connected with three men in there mid thirties. They were very slow ( talking and not ready to hit there next shot ) and weren't concerned about anyone else. I quit after 8 holes.
