Named one of the top golf destinations in the world in the year 2000 by Golf Digest, Sparks, Reno and Lake Tahoe boasts over 40 top-named golf courses all within 90-minutes of the Reno/Tahoe International Airport. From tree-lined fairways, to mountainside links, to the dramatic views of Sparks, Reno and the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe, golfers will find a variety of courses designed to challenge and inspire.
The altitude around here does great things to a golf ball, like making it travel five to ten percent further than at sea level. Pebble Beach may be beautiful, but it can't give you that extra distance.
Some of the great names in Golf have designed courses in the Sparks, Reno and Lake Tahoe area. These include Robert Trent Jones Sr., Robert Trent Jones Jr., Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, John Harbottle, Peter Jacobsen, Johnny Miller, Fuzzy Zoeller, Hale Irwin, Dick Baily, Robin Nelson, George Fazio, Tom Fazio and Robert Muir-Graves.
For those who prefer to be spectators, Reno-Sparks/Lake Tahoe is also home to the Reno/Tahoe Open. This PGA tour event, held each August at Montreux Golf and County Club, provides visitors an opportunity to witness top-notch professionals compete for a $3 million purse.
