I've played this course three times in the past week and in all honesty, I may have been a little harsh the last time I reviewed it.

That being said, the most recent time I played it on 1/31, I was lucky enough to be invited as part of a whirlwind of golf with JohnnyGK, mpisarski01 and rob1563. Lexington was the first of 3 with them.

If you read my last review, the "poop hole" was not as bad as it was 4 days prior and neither were the greens. The greens were a little slower, but fast nonetheless.

The golf carts withstood the demand we placed on them, to include having my phone charging all day. We used the same cart for 36 holes without issues.

Two things I discovered during this most recent visit. The breakfast burrito, when eaten in the restaurant, comes with breakfast potatoes and because I was early, I sat down and enjoyed it with some coffee. Oh, it was $10 total, so not over priced at all. As I've said before, the view was awesome and I'd love to have dinner here soon.


The second thing, is that they have "Ready Dogs", so if you are in a rush at the turn, feel free to stop and get one quick. That being said, the clubhouse is out of the way on both courses.

I totally recommend both courses.

Played on 1/27 and teed off at about 2:10 and although it was late, some golf is better than no golf.

Upon arrival, ball drop is standard. Grab your bag, put it on cart and done.

The view from the cart area is beautiful because it's so high above the valley. Super nice front desk attendant and the pro shop is super stocked, especially on Golden Knights gear.

The practice putting green is next to the club house, so feel free to warm up as you wait for your tee time.

Because of the varying altitude differences, Lexington (and Revere for that matter) has a lot of deceiving fairways. Which is to say, if you get a really good shot, it will roll for a while. That is for the downhill fairways, because if you don't get your ball to a certain area on the uphill fairways, your ball will roll DOWN for quite a way. So there are times you'll have a mediocre drive that will roll 350 or have an amazing drive that will roll down to 125 yards. It's pretty challenging in that aspect.

There are also times, where it is beneficial to PLAY the hole. For instance, bank shots to a far left or right shot, will kick your ball onto the fairway and produce a good roll.

The greens were in bad shape. I liken the surface to very dry astro turf that had a heavy item placed on top for a while. THEY WERE SUPER FAST!!! A little dab will do ya.

I can't remember the hole, and you will know what I'm talking about when you get there, that has soooo many geese on it. They have pooped all over and you have to move the poop in order to not splat all over when you hit. At first it looked as if they had punched the fairway and left the cylindrical dirt pieces everywhere, but no, it's poop.

If you've played the arcade game Golden Tee, YOU WILL LOVE this course. hahahahaha.

I suspect that because of the late hour, we didn't see the cart girl.

The golf carts have USB chargers and coolers, but no GPS.

I have played the Revere courses numerous times, and my biggest complaint is their carts. They constantly die. I have been left stranded numerous times. The hills on the course are very steep and I suspect that they eat the battery on the carts.

The sand traps are basically dirt with rocks everywhere. There's no way I could justify calling it "sand". They could really improve these traps, or I guess I could improve my game and not get stuck in there :-)

I love these courses because of their proximity to my house. They are fun to play and you can usually get on for a reasonable price.

I've never eaten here before, but the clubhouse has a beautiful view and would definitely like to some day.

Military affiliated golf course, so of course it's a pretty basic course as far as frills are concerned.

It's a beautiful location, the club house has a great view and because the weather was absolutely amazing, the patio was a great place to hang out.

The fairways were in decent shape and as expected, I was in California so I hit into the sand traps quite a bit. They were in good shape as well :-)

The greens were pretty beat up, but were rolling at a fair speed.

The golf carts have a basic GPS telling you the distance to each color flag and as long as you can see the flag, you are good. The carts don't have coolers or USB charges, so come prepared.

If you hit far left or right, there is a good chance that your ball is gone. There was some really deep bushes (can't remember the name), but if you hit in there, BALL IS GONE.

Saw the cart girl a couple times.

The food in the club house was delicious and reasonably priced. They have some really good local beers on tap.

That's it. Park, golf, drink beer and eat food. Questions???

I played this course on 12/8 at a POP of 3 1/2. No one was in front of us and I suspect the following review is why.

So the day began with the ornery lady at check in. I played with my two "juniors" and I seriously think that when I asked for the junior rate, which is FREE with a paying adult, she got mad. LOL. Don't know why, but whatever.

To further complicate things, my friend who had paid the full green fee of $40, had also purchased a glove and a "buy two get one sleeve" free, which cost $76.

When I told him that I had plenty of balls and he noticed he had a glove already, he went back in and got a refund. The ornery lady, got more upset, took his card, gave the refund and short of tossed his card back at him......Are they hurting for revenue?????

For those of you who sneak your out of town friends in, at the local rate, THEY CHECK EVERYONE'S ID. FYI.

We were told there was no cart girl and that it was cart path only......ugh......Snack shack it is....

The prices at the snack shop were pretty decent. The breakfast burritos are actually pretty tasty and $4.

The starter let us go out about 15 minutes early and we were greeted by the first hole's bare dirt spot at about the 200 yard area before the dog leg left. This was pretty standard on a lot of the holes. Lots of dirt and in many spots, it appeared as if there will be dirt in a short amount of time.

The par 3s were all in relatively good shape, except for the tee boxes.

About a year ago, I used to like playing this course every once in a while, until the Frisbee guys were all over the place. They seem to have moved those guys out in to the out of bounds areas and can't really see them anymore. That to me is an improvement.

The carts have old GPS technology and basically just give you distances to the hole. The carts also have USB chargers and nice coolers.

Someone, over the summer, told me that they had played here and that they had really turned around for the better. I actually think they have taken a turn for the worse.

The only good thing about Wildhorse right now is that, my son gets to play with me for free......I guess.....

I was fortunate to be invited to play with Johnny, Kevin and Rob on this awesome course for the first time. Thanks Johnny!

Upon arrival at bag drop, there is the option to valet your car. In tradition with true Las Vegas, I did so, plus I wanted the full experience (lol).

Because of the amazing service, there was very little effort required on my part, other than to play and have fun.

The valet takes your car and clubs and points you to the food hut, where the breakfast burrito looked amazing. I didn't have one, but Rob did and confirmed that it was good.

Our cart was set up for me and then we were offered a caddy for $40 a person (not sure if all 4 needed to pay). The caddy would help with hole play, putting advice and what I thought would have been totally worth it, ball finding! We passed on the offer, but someday, I would like to try it.

You know you're at a really nice track when you hit the ball, it goes off into the dry creek bed and the greens guy goes to get it for you. He ran down, picked it up, cleaned it off and then handed it to me. That was cool.

The course was in good shape. There were some spots that were a little sloshy and clearly were damaged due to over watering, but they were on it and had the locations staked off.

The silver tee box must have been, as Johnny put it,"the favorite one" because it looked to be the most used. Lots of divot holes and it seems like they were having a hard time keeping up with it.

The views were spectacular because of the great design and there is plenty of opportunity for some really good shots. We played early in the morning and because Las Vegas is one of the busiest airports in the world at that time, airplanes were taking off overhead the whole time. After a while you tune them out.

Although I am not as good as most everyone, I found it challenging, but not as much as some others. Rio Secco, for example, was much more challenging in my opinion. That being said, it was a very fun course. There were several holes where you had to "thread the needle" which made it really exciting.

As I have always said, "it's the little things". Bottom line, you can pretty much play anywhere you want, but its the cool stuff that keep you coming back. Believe me when I say, Bali Hai has this and more.

I felt like there must have been a drink cart girl for each of the nines. I saw them at least every two holes, but no coffee, which was a bummer.

After we were done playing, the cart guys point you to the food hut again and say, "Just let me do all the work, the clubs will be waiting for you at valet." I took my phone and my wallet and the rest was done for me. The cart was cleaned out and THEY EVEN POLISHED MY SHOES AND PUT THEM IN MY BAG WHEN THEY WERE DONE!!!! Don't forget to tip though.

Marvelous Monique come by with the "Vegas Tradition" of Jello shots, which totally hit the spot. I then had one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had at a golf course. Outside was the typical beach resort atmosphere with music, people having a good time and enjoying a cocktail.

Bottom line, if you are looking to play and have "The Las Vegas Experience" in a one-stop location, look no more. It is basically on the strip and can't be any more convenient for out-of-towners.

Played on 08/04, teed off at 1:40 and were off by 4:30 as a twosome trailing a SNGA Tournament, so there were a lot of people coming and going.

No bag drop area, so we carried our clubs up to the cart area. Once there, the guys were super nice, TWO Coolers and USB charger per cart, but no GPS. The carts were in great condition and they have signs on them informing you of cart path markers for yardage. They were for distance as well as the flag color for pin placement.

The clubhouse staff was "blah", took our money and directed us to the cart staff to start. If you are missing a club, they had a ton for sale and they were all $5, so my son picked up a really decent 60 degree. THIS COURSE OFFERS A JUNIOR RATE!!!

Like I said earlier, we trailed an SNGA tournament so the tee boxes were a little beat up. The fairways were decent and the greens were all in different shape. From bouncy to smooth.

If you can get past the 4th hole (I believe) you escape the small streams that seem to have homeless people living in them. I dropped my ball in two little stream areas and there was so much trash in them from homeless people that, although I could get my ball, I didn't really feel like putting my hand in the water. It really was a shame to see such a nice course with such trashy conditions. Like I said, after about the fourth hole, you get away from that.

There were two areas where the houses that lined the course were throwing huge parties. One house, seriously, had 50 chicks in skimpy bikinis and the music was nightclubish. Lets just say the view was pretty decent.

Most of the Tee boxes have a short history of the hole and the adjacent houses. Apparently Tiger Woods won his first major here and the sign tells you what he scored on that hole.

We saw the cart lady three times and apparently there is no drinkable water anywhere on the course. So bring plenty unless you want to pay $2 for a small bottle. Small Gatorades were $4 which was annoying.

Around the 13th hole, there was a homeless camp where at least three of them walked through from one hole to another to cut through to wherever they were going. I suspect that is why there isn't any water on the course. Full disclosure, they look before they cross in front of you, wave hi and if you yell fore, they move out of the way and SERIOUSLY point to where your ball went after it stops.

Overall it was a fun and challenging course. The trees love to stop the ball and spit them out after they are done, so practice your bump and run shot. lol

I would play again for the price of $20 at 1:40 and $15 jr. rate. (subject to change obviously).

Played on 08/02 and like I always say, "It's the little things"

Upon arrival, we d%mn near had to ask for a cart and put our bags on. There was a tournament behind us, so maybe that is why they were scarce. NO COOLERS, GPS, or USB chargers on the carts. If you want a cooler, you have to buy a six pack of something and then you can "borrow" one.

The food in the club house was only ok, but I've had better.

The check in was awesome. The Pro was totally nice and because we ordered food and the (pregnant) cook was running behind, he kindly moved our tee time back 10 minutes without causing a fuss. That was cool.

We played the course in 3:45 as a foursome.

The Tee Boxes, fairways and greens were in really decent shape, which is nice for this time of year and definitely gets my vote for a replay.

Nothing else really stood out. Other than something I'm going to start including in my posts is that THEY OFFER A JUNIOR RATE. This is big especially when I have a son that golfs and a daughter that is about to start. That stuff adds up.

Overall, it was a good course if you're just looking for "No Frills" municipal court golf.

Played Coyote Run and Eldorado on 07/21 and the conditions were amazing!!!

Upon arrival, the cart guys come and pick your clubs up then offered some range balls to warm up with. Club house staff is friendly and after paying your green fees, there is an option to pay an extra $10 to play Boulder City Golf Course within 2 weeks for free. That's a good deal.

Breakfast burritos were $6 and pretty tasty.

There are three 9 hole courses Coyote Run, El Dorado and Desert Hawk. We played Coyote Run first then El Dorado.

Both courses were in amazing condition! The fairways were so perfect that it almost looked as if no one had played in a while. The rough was tall and stops the ball if you roll off the fairway. Pretty deep and easily swallows the ball if you hit it in there.

The sand traps were pristine. There are plenty of dirt hazards on the side that you can hit your ball into and because of the rocks, chew up the ball and the club so be careful.

The greens are well protected by sand traps so bring your sand wedge with you. On hole 14, there are bee hives in the trap so I just picked up because I didn't want to get stung.

The greens were in great shape and free of divot damage.

The carts were good, good GPS that gives you the distance to the green and hole. Also provides you with tips for the hole.

About the only bad thing I have to say about this course is that the holes are hard to find at times because there are lots of different forks in the path and you have to guess which way to go.

The pace was just under 4 hours and definitely a must play. I can't wait to go back.

Played yesterday 07/13/18. It has been monsoonal rains here lately and many of the holes are very sloshy and muddy. Winter rules should be used at many spots in order to not tear the course up.

The greens were nice in decent shape, but were very slow. Golf carts have very nice GPS and they supply towels, which I love. Sometimes it's the little things.

Staff is very nice and accommodating. I had a loose driver head and the guy in the clubhouse did everything he could to try to fix it for me. Kitchen staff was cool and food is always ready fast.

Two weeks ago, it was a very good deal for the money. Yesterday, because of the sloppy conditions, I would have thought about it more. But, I still enjoy paying $39 so that helped in the decision.
