About Genoa Lakes Golf Club
Genoa Lakes Golf Club is a semi-private club in Genoa, Nevada that opened in 1998. It is one of 2 clubs and courses we cover in the Lake Tahoe area. The club plays 18 holes on a Johnny Miller and John Harbottle III design measuring 7,258 yards to a par of 73. From the back tees it rates 74.4 with a slope of 132, meaningfully harder than the 113 baseline for an average course. Two courses are associated with the Genoa Lakes name — the Lakes Course and the Ranch Course; only the Ranch Course was verified here. Carson Valley links-style layout at the base of the Sierra Nevada. Managed by Sierra Golf Management (per search result headline; not verified from a retrieved page). The operation runs two courses about two miles apart: the Lakes in Genoa and the Ranch in Carson City. Membership is offered in 2 published categories (Social Membership and Golf Membership), though the club does not publish initiation fees or dues. Beyond golf the club lists dining venues, practice facility, events and banquets and golf academy. On guests: Semi-private; public play available. We have not found a public source for the initiation fee and monthly dues, so those are shown as unknown rather than estimated — call ahead if they matter to your decision. Everything above was last checked against its source September 2026.
