About this course

Old Greenwood, nestled in the Truckee landscape, embodies the spirit of mountain golf, where strategy outweighs brute force. A Jack Nicklaus Signature design, the course unfolds across rolling terrain marked by towering pines and sagebrush, reflecting its modern architectural era. While generous fairways suggest a forgiving nature, subtle undulations and strategically placed bunkers test the golfer's ability to manage the elements and find the ideal line into the green. The layout encourages a thoughtful approach, rewarding players who can shape their shots and navigate the doglegs that define several holes. The course avoids the pitfalls of demanding length, instead requiring precision on approach shots to avoid costly errors. Beyond the challenging layout, Old Greenwood fosters a relaxed atmosphere among its members. Tales abound of spirited matches and post-round gatherings fueled by the camaraderie found within the club. Old Greenwood might not be a nationally renowned championship venue, but it is an integral part of the region's golfing identity.

Getting there

The journey to Old Greenwood Golf Course begins at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), roughly ninety minutes west of the club, or alternatively Sacramento International (SMF), a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the southwest; private aviation traffic favors the closer Truckee Tahoe Airport (TRK), a mere fifteen minutes from the gates. The final leg ascends through the Sierra Nevada foothills, trading the valley floor for dense conifer forests and alpine meadows as elevation climbs toward the 6,000-foot mark where Truckee sits cradled in the mountains. The approach to Old Greenwood unfolds along quiet residential roads that wind through the town's understated mountain character, arriving at a course that feels less like a destination resort and more like a carefully guarded secret nested among the pines and granite peaks of the High Sierra.
