Hidden Valley Country Club vs Toiyabe Golf Club

Toiyabe Golf Club sits in Washoe Valley and Hidden Valley Country Club in Reno — close enough that most buyers looking at one will look at the other. The first difference is access: Toiyabe Golf Club is semi-private and Hidden Valley Country Club is private, so they are not competing for the same buyer so much as offering two different deals. Both play 18 holes. The designs come from Robert Muir Graves (with Steve Pate and Damian Pascuzzo) and William F. Bell Jr. respectively. Hidden Valley Country Club opened in 1956, 38 years before Toiyabe Golf Club.

Neither club publishes an initiation fee or dues schedule, so the cost question has to be settled by asking both directly — and asking in writing, because the number quoted on a tour is rarely the number on the agreement. Toiyabe Golf Club documents practice facility, events and banquets and golf academy that Hidden Valley Country Club does not publish; Hidden Valley Country Club documents swimming pool, fitness center and tennis courts that Toiyabe Golf Club does not. Absence here means we found no public source, not that the facility is missing — worth confirming on a tour if it matters to you. On the evidence we hold: Hidden Valley Country Club for a household that will use the club midweek.
