Where is Carson Valley?
Does Lake Tahoe sound familiar? We are just a quick hop, skip & jump from South Lake Tahoe on the Nevada side.
If you are still wondering 'where is Carson Valley please, let us be your tour guide! Officially it includes the towns of Gardnerville, Minden, Genoa and Topaz Lake. We are in the Gardnerville part and located south of Carson City (the State Capital of Nevada) and this part of the 'Valley' offers many options for locals and visitors!
The golf course is a very pretty 25-minute drive from South Lake Tahoe. Once a well-kept secret, the word is out, Carson Valley is a great place to live and play. Did we mention the beautiful views of the Sierras from the golf course, yes the Sierra Nevada mountains at Lake Tahoe, we get to enjoy their purple mountain majesty every day.
History
Opened in 1965, Carson Valley Golf Course was designed by a local architect, Red Swift. He had a great vision when he developed the golf course and originally it included the Carson Valley Country Club restaurant, tennis courts, and a swimming pool. All very nice for 1965! Red Swift was also the original developer of the neighboring area that is known as the Ranchos and is today home for many people living in Gardnerville.
During the early 1970s, the golf course and restaurant became separate businesses. We are Carson Valley Golf Course and the restaurant next door is Carson Valley Country Club. This has caused some confusion over the years as we are totally separate businesses but good neighbors.
In 2001, the current owners' Tom & Manya Brooks purchased the golf course from Tom's parents who had owned the course since 1986. The award-winning golf course continues to rate as 'the local's favorite' and is open to the public for golf year-round.
