Nevada’s largest and most geographically diverse region, Pioneer Territory, calls itself The Solitudes, and solitude is exactly what it offers adventurous golfers looking for something new.

The Arnold Palmer-designed Dayton Valley Golf Club is about an hour from Reno, while courses in Hawthorne, Pioche, Round Mountain, and Yerington require a little longer time commitment to reach. Pahrump, at the southern tip of the Pioneer Territory, provides the largest selection in the region with four courses—Desert Greens, Lakeview Executive Course, Mountain Falls and Willow Creek—that are all on par with anything offered in the state’s larger golf destinations.
