About Somersett Country Club
Somersett Country Club is a private club in Reno, Nevada that opened in 2004. It is one of 7 clubs and courses we cover in the Reno–Sparks area. Golf runs to 27 holes across 2 courses: Championship Course (18 holes, Tom Kite, Roy Bechtol, Randolph P. Russell, 7,252 yards); Canyon Nine (9 holes, Tom Kite, Roy Bechtol, Randolph P. Russell, 1,009 yards). All of it is Tom Kite, Roy Bechtol, Randolph P. Russell work. From the back tees it rates 74.6 with a slope of 142, well above the 113 that defines an average-difficulty course for a bogey golfer. A course rating 2.6 strokes above par means a scratch player is expected to lose shots here, not just a mid-handicap. Located in the master-planned Somersett community in northwest Reno. The layout includes seven lakes and 62 bunkers, with bentgrass greens and a bluegrass and rye fairway blend. The pool, fitness and tennis facilities in the Somersett community belong to the homeowners association rather than to the country club. Membership is offered in 4 published categories (Full Privilege Membership, Junior Membership (Under 40), Corporate Membership and Social Membership), though the club does not publish initiation fees or dues. Beyond golf the club lists dining venues, youth programming, practice facility, events and banquets and golf simulator. On guests: No general guest policy is published; the club states only that Corporate members receive six complimentary guest passes a year. We have not found a public source for the initiation fee, monthly dues, any food and beverage minimum and current waitlist status, so those are shown as unknown rather than estimated — ask for them in writing before a tour, because they are what actually decide the comparison. Everything above was last checked against its source September 2026.
