The TGC 2019 simulation introduces Thunder Canyon Ranch, a skillfully recreated course designed by Dwight Hall. This module is based on the Toiyabe Golf Club, located at 19 Lightning W Ranch Rd in Washoe Valley, Nevada. Built in 1994 by Robert Muir Graves, with later input from Steve Pate and Damian Pascuzzo, this 18-hole semi-private links-style course stretches 7,166 yards with a par of 72 and a slope rating of 138.
Thunder Canyon Ranch delivers a striking virtual experience. Set against the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the layout captures sweeping views of Mt. Rose and Slide Mountain from its elevated tees. The course features nearly 50 bunkers and water hazards on 14 holes, providing a balanced challenge. Wide, contoured fairways and large, quick greens keep players on their toes. Meandering streams, shimmering lakes, and towering pines enhance the natural setting, offering scenic play year-round.
The TGC 2019 version also includes facilities like a clubhouse, banquet hall, and meeting spaces, rounding out the full golfing experience with immersive, realistic detail throughout the course.
