Laughlin Ranch Golf Club - $$
Bullhead City, AZ
Reviewed by: lvbigblue, Las Vegas

Played 2 great days of golf here in August. Very hot weather this time of year. Course was showing the signs of the heat but is still very playable and a great value this time of year. Greens were good and layout is spectacular. Great views of the river valley. The customer service at this course is excellent and they treat you great with great specials in their fabulous clubhouse. A great place to hold an event that is for sure. I will be back!!

Lake Las Vegas Resort (The Falls) - $$$$$
Henderson, NV
Reviewed by: vncnhoff, Henderson, NV.

Played Monday, 8-25-08. The course was getting ready for seeding (no water, fairways cut short, greens were in great shape though). It was still very difficult and very challeging for our 4-some. I would definitely play it again !!!! Very good course!

Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort (Sun Mountain) - $$$
Las Vegas, NV
Reviewed by: mikelgabe, Tucson

Played this course with my wife on 8/24 as part of a "play all day" special at Paiute. We played Sun Mtn in the afternoon after playing Wolf (see review) in the morning. The wind had come up by the afternoon, so this course was much more difficult that Wolf. Everything I had heard and read said that Wolf was the more difficult of the two courses, but with the wind blowing while playing Sun Mtn, and calm while playing Wolf, this course played much longer, and much tougher. This is pretty typical Pete Dye with the railroad ties in the bunkers and all that. This course has a lot more doglegs than the Wolf course. Seems like there are very few "straight ahead" holes on the Sun Mtn. layout. But they don't favor any particular type of player. There are dogleg to the left and dogleg to the right holes which makes it fair for all playing. Again, Dye was generous with the teeboxes, giving many options to both long and short hitters. There was a little more "browning" of the fairways on Sun Mtn than on the Wolf course, so the heat of the summer plays more of a factor here. I liked this course, but will play Wolf again before playing Sun Mtn on my next visit to LV.

Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort (Wolf) - $$$$
Las Vegas, NV
Reviewed by: mikelgabe, Tucson

Played this course with my wife on 8/24. I get to LV about 3-4 times a year, and this course will be on my "must play" list for the next visit. I had heard, and read about how difficult this course is, and with the wind blowing it probably is extremely tough, but it is very fair. Good shots are rewarded, poor ones are penalized. Pay attention to the on-cart GPS because there are several blind shots with trouble ahead if you're not paying attention. There were 5 sets of teeboxes, so it was very fair for my wife who's not the longest hitter. She didn't have to battle long carries over crap to reach the green grass. The course is spectacular in appearance. Sort of an oasis in the middle of nowhere, yet it's only 30 minutes from the Strip. The customer service, from the bag guys, to the starter, to the cart ladies was fantastic. It does get hot in the summertime, so the "snack shacks" located midway through the round were very nice. I played on an "all you can play" special, so followed up Wolf with Sun Mountain (see review). Be prepared for uneven lies. Not sure there's a flat spot in any of the fairways, but that made the challenge even more interesting. This is a fantastic course, and as I stated earlier . . is definately on my must play list for the next time I'm in LV.

Aliante Golf Club - $$
North Las Vegas, NV
Reviewed by: maynardc, Pasadena, CA

Played here on 8/22/08. Was told by the pro shop that the greens were in great shape despite being aerated early August, and that the overall condition of the course was in good shape. The greens were mediocre at best. One of the greens was completely unputtable...looked like it was totally dried up and diseased and dirt patches every where (might've been hole 4 or 5). Also, the fairways were very dry and thin and there was no such thing as rough. Tee boxes were ok. The sand traps were nice (what do you expect though the course is in a desert). The layout of the course was very standard and straightforward. Nothing memorable at all. Just your standard desert type golf course. Anyway, for being so far away from the Vegas strip, it should be priced much lower. I think $50 on the weekends would be a fair price (keeping in mind that it's a $50-$60 cab ride there from the Vegas strip).

Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort (Snow Mountain) - $$$
Las Vegas, NV
Reviewed by: dconnally, Mission Viejo, CA

Played in the late afternoon Thursday, 8/21/08 - sunny hot day with not too bad wind that dropped later in the afternoon. Always great conditions here - greens receptive and medium fast. Few players around and we finished in 3.5 hours. Always recommended.

Mojave Resort Golf Club - $$
Laughlin, NV
Reviewed by: NICKESQUIRE1, Westlake Village, CA

Played 8/18. The greens are like CEMENT, a lob wedge from the fairway will roll 30-50 feet off to the back fringe. Fairways, rought, tee boxes average at best. Layout OK. Overall, this course was a waste of time and $$$ even playing @ a reduced rate.

Laughlin Ranch Golf Club - $$
Bullhead City, AZ
Reviewed by: NICKESQUIRE1, Westlake Village, CA

Played 8/17 and in the GK Casual outing on 8/18. The bermuda greens are firm and in good to excellent shape overall. Medium fast. Many greens have places for severe pins on this course, with slopes that could result in putts off the green if you aren't careful. The fairways and rough are excellent, especially considering it's 110+ every day. There were a few tees boxes closed for reseeding, but the ones open were well maintained. The rough is thicker and the ball will settle down where a lost ball in 2 1/2 inch rough is a possibility unless you almost step on it. The frequent strong winds and the desert floor give this course it's main defense. Stray off the fairway and you are in "Rock City", and I don't mean Detroit. Obviously avoid the catcus, tumbleweed and rattlesnakes, but it's the boulders, stones, lava rock and sand surrounding the course which will tear up your clubs if you choose to play out of there. The clubhouse & dining facilities were both nice, staffed with friendly, customer service oriented people. Challenging course, up/down hills, I'd rate it a must play if in the Bullhead area.

Bear's Best Las Vegas - $$$$
Las Vegas, NV
Reviewed by: cgrisham, Oceanside, CA

Played here again this past weekend with a terrific amateur player who plays here 4x/wk. It was pretty neat to watch how the course could be managed from the tips (him) and mis-managed (me) for a 20-stroke difference. Anyway, the new GPS is here, and it's one of the nicer ones, although they force you to listen/watch Jack describe each hole as you roll up on the tee box. Definitely slows down play, and makes you wait about :10-:15 before you can get your yardage. No option to shut Jack up (no disrespect meant Mr Nicklaus). I was a little disgruntled by the starter not keeping me informed (I was a single, and got skipped by "buddies of the head pro" because of the tardiness of a couple of people they'd paired me with). When I asked the guy in the proshop, the starter (you know the type) got all huffy and said "if you want to complain, I'll send you out alone". Nope, just let me know what the heck's going on, pal, and we'll be cool. Despite the ruffled feathers on my and his parts, the course was incredibly well conditioned for mid August. Tees, fairways, and greens showed stress from the constant play coupled with heat, but after the re-seed next week, I predict awesome playing conditions the remainder of the year. Just try to avoid getting your hackles up by an old-style starter who doesn't have caddies to manipulate anymore.

Eagle Crest Golf Course - $$
Las Vegas, NV
Reviewed by: mpwallace94, Irvine, CA

I played the course last Sunday, August 10. 8:30 AM tee time. The course was not crowded and we got picked up by the cart guys right at our car. The starter was cordial and informative abiut the conditions fo the course. They had just reopened a week prior as they were refinishing the cart paths. The course looked great. Clean and ell kept. No real issues even though we had a slow gorup in front of us. The course is located in the the middle of a very nice senior living neighborhood and they attract the locals in the area. That said, we had no issues on the course and didn't get backed up until the 17th hole. Course ambassadors were evident throughout the course and water and restrooms were available on several holes. The course palyed at a relaxed pace and I didn't find myself "stretching" to imagine a shot to be made. The course plays wide open but the greens have a few challanges to them. I'd play this course again in a heartbeat and can't wait to get back to Vegas to play it again! I highly recommend it to anyone not lookng for a long, grueling, 5 hour day in the heat!!
