Montreux G&CC

Courses

Montreux G&CC, which this week hosts the Reno-Tahoe Open is a private golf club near Reno in northern Nevada.

The Montreux Golf and Country Club is a gated, private golf course community with luxury homes that surrounds a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in the Reno, northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe area.

This always pristine 18-hole golf course is home to this week’s US PGA Tour event, the Reno Tahoe Open which has often attracted strong fields despite its proximity to the Open and the US PGA Championships and its competition with this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

This largely because of it’s outstanding risk and reward Nicklaus layout and its beautiful setting.

Down the years this Reno-Tahoe event has played host to many top flight golfers, among them major winners of the calibre of Fred Couples, Mark O’Meara, John Daly, Justin Leonard, Nick Price, Nick Faldo, Jose Maria Olazabal and Steve Elkington.

Owned by Stan Kasik and situated just off the Mt Rose Highway between Reno and Lake Tahoe, this par 72 course which plays to a long 7,472 yards off its Golden Bear championship Tee boxes, is a traditional course combining high desert and pine forest settings and making use of Pro-Cup Bent and Blue Grasses for its fairways, Crenshaw Bent Grass for its greens and a Fescue/Blue Grass blend for its rough

In the same vein as Ahmen Corner at Augusta National, Montreux’s signature “Bear Trap” is a dramatic trio of holes (15, 16 and 17) featuring shimmering lakes, breathtaking mountain views and undulating greens.

The tee elevation above the fairway on the 8th hole is all of 138 feet.

To play it you will need to be either a member or the guest of a member. It is not open to the public
