Played Los Lagos near Bull Head and Laughlin Wednesday . Been about 5 years now and the course has been going to rot. Greens look bad but are fairly good to put on. Fairways are at best 50% GONE, just finding grass if you want to move out of the dirt is not even easy now. So sorry to see because course is fairly easy or was fairly easy to score on.. Across the way is the EL RIO and we played there the day before and it is about 50% gone also. A few greens had nice grass around them and the greens were not too bad at all but the fairways are very hit and miss with some at least 30% dirt now, Los Lagos all bunkers are ground never to be repaired it looks like, The El Rio did have nice bunkers around the greens which we found kinda different. Guess they have enough money to take care of a few yards around the greens, greenside bunkers and greens but fairways are on their own for the most part.,

Played with my weekly group on May 9,24.
They seem to be incrementally raising their fees.
Although out early (6:20), pace wasn't as quick as hoped with waiting on most
tees common. Conditions are adequate, but the main problem is how the bunkers
lack maintenance!!
Grill hasn't raised prices so our lunch was much appreciated and good.
Rosa is a sweetheart!
Now that D-Bar has reopened, its relieved the over crowding here.

Day 3 of the FL trip, 5/8, played the blue, 4:45 riding with a forecaddy, hot day. Wanted to walk, but that Florida sun is different... searing. Humid, but not air heavy humid, just sweat beading humidity in FL heat. There were periods of time I had a hard time keeping my hands dry due to my fingers getting sweaty. Blue is considered the Approach course. Forgiving off the tee, wide fairways. Greens well protected. Elevations, greenside bunkers, Need to be sharp with the irons. Greens very firm. True, a fast 10 to fast 12, depending on the grain. Very grainy greens. Overall a visually pleasing property, fabulous courses on par with Bandon and Straits.. though not quite their caliber. Hotel and everything was amazing. I hear they are building a 4th course. They certainly have enough land, as it's literally in the middle of nowhere. Wildlife everywhere, including huge gators sunning. They built a 19 hole par 3 which was fun. And they have 2 18 hole putting greens, punchbowl style. I guess this is the trend with all of the resorts. I predict that in 10 years, they will have a Bandon problem, impossible to book a trip. Had a great time.

Day 2 of the FL trip, played the red first, 4:45 walking with a caddy, hot day. That Florida sun is different... searing. Humid, but not air heavy humid, just sweat beading humidity in FL heat. There were periods of time I had a hard time keeping my hands dry due to my fingers getting sweaty. Red is considered the Drivers course. Tough off the tee, keeping the drive straight, avoiding hazards, and forced carries, visually deceptive. Greens very firm. True, a fast 10 to fast 12, depending on the grain. Very grainy greens. Overall a visually pleasing property, fabulous courses on par with Bandon and Straits.. though not quite their caliber. Hotel and everything was amazing. I hear they are building a 4th course.

Played today. Course is in great shape at the moment. Tee boxes are all clean and level. They have held up well since being all redone in 2011/12. The fairways are wonderful. Green with great roll out and good lies. I think this is the fastest I have seen them ever. The areas outside of the fairways are cut down to conserve watering and some areas have the wood chips down which IMO is OK. I like the new local rule regarding the "wire" grass that is prevelant on the course. You can move your ball w/o penalty. Traps were all clean and playable and I heard no complaints. Greens are great. They are firm so low shots will bounce a long way, but nice high iron shots hold and release just fine (I will have to learn that shot). And they have speed. And not just downhill putts. Love them when they are like this. Good customer service in the Pro shop and bar/restaurant. I like that they do not allow 5's anymore and a marshal is out patrolling. Was very pleased with our POP at 4:15 as we teed off mid morning and in the past that would have been less than enjoyable. Sr rate i$39.75 with cart and I think that is a very good price for this course. Recommended.

Played Sunday 5/5, 10:30 tee time, 4:45 pace. Sunny hot day. Orlando stop before hitting streamsong. Greens look like they were recently verticut, and they were a bit bumpy and slow as a result. Running a slow 10. Rest of the course in great shape. Bunkers were on the softer side, even the fairway bunkers, but true and consistent. The layout itself is not bad. It's not horrible, but it's Palm Springs golf... not my favorite. Lakes in play on many holes, including the famous par 5s. A nice course that I wouldn't make the centerpiece of my big golf vacation across the country. And you can't wear your hat anywhere indoors, and they will remind you nicely if you do. Not annoying at all.

Out early on a very nice morning, not so cold any longer, which is appreciated. Not a lot has changed since the last time I played here in March. However, I seemed to find every bunker today and with lies being so thin/tight, with so little sand, it was a real struggle. Greens not as bumpy as expected, in fact they rolled fairly true. Still some issues on a couple fairways, but not a big deal. Fun short golf course to play. Has now become enough of a challenge to make it even more enjoyable than in my younger days. If you have only played the #1 course, suggest you give #2 a try.

Very scenic and challenging golf course about a 1/2hr outside of Vegas. Course was in fabulous shape and in a nice setting. Bring your sand game, tons of traps all over the course filled with white fluffy sand. I'm pretty sure it is always windy out here, but a lot of the holes are down wind.
Because of the wind on the first hole, I played the white tees which topped out at 6,100.I didn't play great but definitely could have played the blues at 6,500 since the fairways gave a lot of roll and plenty of the holes played downwind. Played the Desert Hawk/Coyote Run combo as the Eldorado nine was closed for aeration. When that heals, they will probably punch another nine.
That lead to my only real complaint, I think it's always busy here but with only two nines the round took well over 5 hours. No marshall and the group in front of us was at least two holes behind. On the plus side I only found that out by calling the club house. Each hole is a distinct entity, and you really only see the hole in front of you, very cool layout.

One of the older courses in Vegas. (1938) Very flat tree lined local muni. 6,300 from the tips, with not a lot of trouble. Staff were super accommodating and very nice. Course was in very good muni shape. Greens were smooth and plush, so they held shots but were still medium speed instead of slow. Good sand in all the traps and I never encountered a bad lie. I teed off at 5PM and bounced around, otherwise I think this course is always jam packed. Very walkable course but I think even the out of towner afternoon walking rate is $65. One or two 2PM glofnow hot deals seem to be available in the $25-$50 range and it still might be a long round. Worth it if you can get a deal.

One of three courses in the Summerlin community. A solid, scenic course that stretches to 6,700 from the tips. I played the 6242 white tees, and it was a fair challenge. The course was in very good shape all around. The greens were medium speed and gave me trouble all day. Some really nice mountain views really added to the layout. Some deals available on golf now make this a great choice as Vegas golf is pretty expensive. Without the deal this place can cost over $150.

3,700-yard par 58 executive on the western side of town. Played a morning warm up round after flying in. $42 w/cart a bit steep for an executive but it's very walkable, not sure what that does to the price. Only 3 par fours and 15 par threes of varying lengths. Fun layout in decent shape except for the bunkers. I wasn't in any, but they looked mostly uncared for and lacking sand. Too bad because they were well designed and added to the layout.

Good warm up course not far from the airport. Almost 4,000-yard par 60 executive course in very good shape. I teed off at 5:00pm and played in an hour by bouncing around, the marshal was very nice and helpful as I had a flight to catch. Otherwise, I think this course gets a lot of play so it might be a 3-hr. round. $33 W/cart for a sporty course with a decent mix of holes, 6 short par fours that you can still hit driver on.
