10/28/2012 - Played in Pioneer Casino's River Ricks Golf tournament and this was the 2nd of 2 courses we played. Course was in STELLAR/AMAZING/GORGEOUS/LUSH conditions after coming out of heavy reseeding. This course is the most difficult of the two course we play (other being Los Lagos). Again, this was a tourney event and all was set up Extremely well. ONLY gripe -- typical one -- bunkers. We didn't suffer the 20-30mph winds on Sunday, but I'm sure they play a role in the bunkers being rather inconsistent with some having 'a little' more sand than others. The ones I had the displeasure of hitting out of were 'adequate' but typically hard pack; and there are certainly quite a few bunkers to negotiate around/over on this course; as well as bushes/trees. Fairways were Breathtaking. Emerald green; rolled out forever; and wiiiiiiide open for errant shots having a chance to be found (on most). Amazing water challenge holes (goofed and hit my 9 iron vs my intended 6 iron on 17 and ended up drowning a perfectly hit ball-bummed) :( Course eminities are exceptional. GPS carts w/coolers; Ball Washers; Water Coolers; etc. Again, Greens were a tidge difficult for me to adjust to as they were slooow uphill against the grain and quick down. A lot of elevated greens with tricky reads. A different type of grass than I'm use to playing on. Didn't break much. Very Level, no ball damage, and firm - so easy to hit up to/on/off if not played straight into. Quaint Clubhouse; nicely equipped Pro Shop and the Staff are Fantastic! Did I mention the emerald green lush picturesque fairways?? Amazing. Occassional tight lie, but I just loved this course. Challenging for all skill levels. Excellent Practice facility (Grass range/bunker/chipping areas and large putting area). In summary, this is one you must play while in Laughlin. :) EXCELLENT time of the year to play - just have to watch the wind reports and get out early. One of my Favs!
