Dayton Valley Golf Course
About Dayton Valley Golf Course
Dayton Valley Golf Course is an Arnold Palmer-designed layout set in the high desert of Northern Nevada, with the eastern Sierra Nevada rising around the property. The par-72 course has long served as the site of a PGA Tour qualifying tournament.
Water is the defining feature here: roughly forty acres of water hazards come into play on at least twelve holes, supported by numerous bunkers placed to shape strategy off the tee and into the greens. Fairways are generously mounded, and the large putting surfaces run fast.
The club also accommodates group play and tournament outings.
