Longest Golf Courses in Nevada

The 25 longest golf courses in Nevada, ranked by total yardage from the back tees.

The longest golf course in Nevada on Stymie is Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Lake Tahoe, designed by George Fazio, stretching 7,485 yards from the back tees and a slope rating of 145. Anything over 7,000 yards qualifies as "championship length" by modern standards, and the layouts below all clear that bar — most by a wide margin.

The average maximum yardage across Nevada's golf courses on Stymie is 6,568 yards. 17 courses play to 7,000 yards or more — the threshold most tournament setups use to ensure long hitters can't simply drive their way around the layout. Long courses typically pair the extra distance with wider fairways and larger greens so the round stays playable.

If you're a long hitter looking for a course that will actually test your driving distance, or you want to play the same tees the pros would, work your way through this list. Just remember: yardage isn't the same as difficulty — a 7,400-yard course with wide fairways and minimal water can play easier than a 6,500-yard target-golf design with hazards on every hole.
