Divine 9
The Divine Nine, also known as the Carson City Golf Trail, is one of Nevada’s best-kept golf secrets. Located just south of Reno and near the shores of Lake Tahoe, this collection of nine scenic courses offers high desert landscapes, mountain backdrops, and year-round play. Whether you're looking for championship-caliber challenges or a laid-back round with stunning views, the Divine Nine delivers variety, quality, and affordability—all within a short drive of each other.
Golfers can expect everything from classic parkland layouts to links-style tracks, with courses designed by legends like Arnold Palmer and Johnny Miller. Play the wide-open fairways of Eagle Valley, test your accuracy at Sunridge, or take on the dramatic elevation changes at Silver Oak. With the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance and some of the best course conditions in the region, every round feels like a unique experience.
Beyond golf, Carson City offers plenty to do. Try your luck at the local casinos, explore historic sites from the Old West, or take a short drive to Lake Tahoe for outdoor adventures. With mild weather, welcoming hospitality, and a mix of challenging and fun layouts, the Divine Nine is a must-visit destination for golfers looking for a hidden gem in Northern Nevada.
