History
In 1994 Roger & Gayle Block became Founding Members of the Golf Club at Lightning W Ranch. In 1999, Roger and Gayle purchased the Club from the Members and because of their success in lightning protection, they renamed it Thunder Canyon. Their vision and dedication to the operation allowed the Club to continue thriving, and eventually earned Thunder Canyon the award of Nevada Golf Course of the Year in 2011 by the National Golf Course Owners Association. Gayle and her late husband Roger provided the Club stability and a lasting legacy. In 2016, although it wasn't an easy decision to leave the Club, Gayle sold the Club to long-standing friend, Stan Jaksick. Gayle wanted to ensure the Club would be placed in the careful hands of someone who could lead the Club to a successful future as a premier golf course. The timing was perfect and Stan looks to carry on Gayle's vision for developing it into a premier golf course.
