Dayton Valley
Golf Club
“Dayton Valley is an Arnold Palmer design that plays through the beautiful high desert landscape east of Carson City. The course offers excellent value for the quality of layout and conditioning. Wind can be a major factor, especially in the afternoon — plan your round for the morning for calmer conditions. The clubhouse restaurant serves great food and cold beverages with views of the finishing holes.”
“T here is a good reason why Dayton Valley has played host to the first stage of qualifying for the PGA Tour since 1995. Its links style offers plenty of challenge that even the pros struggle to negotiate. Water is a primary feature and an unwelcomed hazard on nearly half the holes of this Arnold Palmer-designed, high desert masterpiece. The undulations on the course's big greens make successful execution of the flat stick a primary task of the day. The wind can be a friend or foe on many days as it can shorten the lengthy, downwind par 5s, yet wreak havoc on the short par 3s across or into the wind. Although Dayton is a bit of a drive from the Reno hotels and casinos, it's worth the effort to get there. It's very well manicured and the surrounding views will surely impress.”

“Arnold Palmer design that's a hidden gem in the area. Wide fairways with great mountain views. Course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was good. Underrated.”
