Pace of play very slow! Playing as a twosome with a threesome in front of us for 7 holes. No Marshall except when we started...price to play this course is too high......not worth $65......maybe $40.....

I had a great time playing this course.
From the beginning the driving range was pretty unique. There are 50s vintage cars sticking out of the ground as targets on the range. That made it fun plus I like older cars-so win win for me.
The practice green gave a good feel of how the true greens were rolling that day.
The condition of the tee boxes are usually the tell-tale sign of how the rest of the course will be. I was not disappointed!
There were some forgiving fairways along with some more challenging. A couple holes were steep uphill settings, which really challenge your club selection. I birdied number 12 from 85 yards out (now being changed to #3) which always makes you realize why you play this game.
Greens were beautiful with a little challenge here and there due to pin placement.
The setting is a lush oasis of deep green grass and nicely mown fairways amidst the sandy desert background.
The back nine takes you on a mountain tour with sweeping views of the course and desert below.
Pace of play was monitored and kept by the course marshal. He was a very friendly guy and gave pointers for a few spots for newcomers.
Overall I would give the course a 4.5, so I moved it up to 5 as halves are not options here.
I will golf Silver Oak next time I visit Carson City.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Jaymae W.Northern California, CA08Oct 25, 2022
First visit there and we will definitely be back. Loved the challenge of the course . It's layout offers a
Little bit for everyone. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to eat there, but will make a point to do so next time. It's conveniently located to CVI, where we stayed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mark O.Reno, NV2121Aug 16, 2022
Super fun super chill course, not super packed or highly regulated like all other courses, no tee time necessary if you show up they ll get you on. Staff is super friendly and cool. The course is in good shape for the price and the layout is very unique with a good mix of challenging and easy holes.

The GM of this place does not care about guests. You have to be a member or a local for her to even care what you say. It's a shame for something with so much potential.

We booked our teatime online and when we got there we were never told that the clubhouse was closing at three. We purchased our rounds and got out at 1:45. By the seventh hole we were wondering if there was going to be a cart girl coming around. We made the turn and there was no cart girl the entire front nine. I went upstairs to the clubhouse to get a water. The doors were locked and there was a sign on the door that at three for a private event. I asked the lady vacuuming right inside the door if I could get a water. She said no. There was a cooler outside of the door that had melted ice and four small water bottles. I proceeded to look inside the cooler and grab the water bottles. An older man came running out yelling at me telling me that those were not my waters. I then asked him if I could get a water to which he told me no that they're closed. I told him I was not asking for a bloody Mary that all I wanted was a water. He told me no and I got a little louder saying " I paid $100 for two of us to play this fucking course and you won't give me a water!!" To which he responds "if you don't like it go somewhere else and you can have those". I responded with wow how generous of you. I called to speak with the GM and it turns out Terri the GM was there and did not say anything. I am 40 years old and have been golfing since I was 12. I have never ever had an experience like this.

Went the first weekend the golf courses were open and what a beautiful day it was.
The club house was pretty much closed but they were selling pre packaged items. The beverage cart was selling items also.
I have not been to this golf course and it was so much fun and challenging. I will for sure go here again!!!
Oh look at the driving range when you go the cars in the ground were pretty awesome.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - Mar 10, 2016
Another huge thank you to Silver Oaks.
This golf course offers its club house to the Carson High Culinary department every spring. Each spring the students sell tickets, prepare and serve the food for their fund raiser.
I'm so happy that I discovered this event years ago. Just $50 for a few hours of great dishes prepared by our future chefs. Several of these kids have already earned scholarships to Johnson and Wales back east. The dinner is served with what seems like unlimited wine. Tonight we enjoyed ratatouille, salad, scalloped potatoes, green beans, asparagus, lamb chops, chicken sausage and salmon. You'd be hard pressed to guess that several high schoolers fixed all these delicious morsels. And don't forget dessert- cheesecake with sugared berries. I AM STUFFED!
Available were great raffle prizes and silent auction items too. Seems we always come home with something.
Bitter sweet this year- the students' teacher, Penny R and fellow Yelper, will be retiring in June after 15 years. Penny is so loved by the students and I know they will miss her dearly. Also their Chef Mentor Clint Jolly has won a few awards this spring. What a great guy these kids have helping them in the kitchen.
Keep your eyes out next year and support Chef Jolly, the new instructor and the returning students when they host this dinner next year. After all these are our future chefs.Helpful 17Thanks 0Love this 21Oh no 0 - Steve R.Reno, NV012Apr 3, 2022
The course itself is a moderately nice and playable golf course. It is affordable and never in terrible or really good condition. Houses along the course are too close and not what I would consider a beautiful course. The biggest challenge is the customer service is terrible. The bar attendant is a complete jerk and treats everyone under 70 yrs old that is not Caucasian horribly. Ask for a glass of ice or ice for the provided cooler and be prepared for a lecture and attitude. I know numerous golfers that hate going inside this place. Only in peak season do they have a golf cart food/drink attendant so we are all forced to deal with the worst bar tender in history. With some leadership could be a great low cost option in the Reno area but staffing and care needs work.
