Hands down, one of the best values in the Carson Valley is Dayton Valley Golf Club. Not to mention it was designed by my hero, Arnold Palmer. There was no way I was going to leave this track off the list.
Having received Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” nomination, this track is both challenging and fun.
Water comes into play on most holes and makes up an astounding 40 acres of the property. Might be wise to bring an extra sleeve of balls.
While the fairways are generous, substantial mounding can make for some tough lies on shots that don’t find the fairway. Plenty of bunkers thrown in on top make this a true test.
One of the valley’s best kept secrets, make it a point to spend a day at Dayton Valley.
