Carson Valley

Carson Valley has been historically known as "cattle-country," but a recent surge in golf course construction has the area pulling itself out of the pasture and into the realm of being a legitimate golf destination.

Most courses in Carson Valley have been built in the past decade, but locals in Carson City haven't exactly taken to strutting around in soft spikes -- most still mosey the streets in cowboy hats, spurs and boots.

The course selection, however, is not so modest.

Venturing deeper into the mountains, Arrow Creek Golf Club is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra-Nevada's at an elevation of 5,200 ft.

Direction

The Carson Valley area is about 15 minutes south of Reno on I-395. The nearest airport is Reno/Tahoe International Airport which has flights daily from most major airlines. The airport is off of I-395, so a short drive south goes directly to Carson City and south through the rest of the Valley. I-395 also brings drivers from Northern California. An exit onto I-395 from I-80 can bring commuters from Salt lake City and the Bay Area. From Las Vegas, however, there is no major highway. Drivers from Vegas will have to follow a combination of U.S. and state highways to reach the Reno/Tahoe area.
