Golf in Fernley

Fernley is a Lyon County city east of Reno on Interstate 80 that has grown rapidly in recent years as distribution and logistics operations locate in the I-80 corridor and as Las Vegas and Bay Area residents seek affordable housing with Nevada tax advantages. Sitting at roughly 4,300 feet, the city's high-desert climate extends the golf season compared to the Las Vegas Valley's heat. The Golf Club at Fernley's 18-hole par-72 layout at Desert Lakes Drive serves both the growing residential community and golfers passing through on the interstate. Fernley's growth trajectory has brought new amenities and infrastructure that distinguish it from the smaller agricultural towns of the valley.
