Grizzly Ranch is hands down my favorite course in all of Reno/Tahoe (I've lived in Reno since 2003). In the summer of 2020 my family and I bought a second home on the 9th hole and it was the best decision we've ever made. Having a home that is outdoors and on a golf course, yet is still only 45 minutes away from Reno where we call home, is absolutely amazing. The golf course, though challenging, is very forgiving for the average golfer, which makes it fun every single time I play. Prior to purchasing my home I regretfully had never played the course before. After playing that first time I think I was able to play 15+ more times throughout the rest of the season. I have 3 small children, so being able to introduce them to golf and having them learn how to play at Grizzly is something I am very much looking forward to. Every single person I have brought along with me for the weekend is absolutely blown away that this magnificent course is right in our backyard. The course layout, the amenities, the staff...everything is absolutely amazing! For anyone considering getting a place up in this area...do it! I promise you won't regret it.
