Local "Munish" course in pretty darn good shape. Scenic central coast mountain setting on a very hilly piece of property. $25 after 2PM, was well worth it, however I think they charge just as much for the cart. After walking it I think they could charge even more, LOL. It is quite a workout. Course is pretty lush right now, ball sat up nice and I had no bad lies. I wasn't in any sand traps but I don't remember seeing many. Greens were all smooth and medium fast.

It has some quirky, semi blind holes, that without a cart made it extra challenging for a first timer. Don't be lazy like me, walk up the sixth hole to see where to hit it. I played what I thought was a straight shot down the middle and never found my ball. Some of the fairways are pretty tight and tree lined. The back nine is one decent golf hole after the next over some very hilly terrain. Now is a good time to play it as it can get awfully toasty out here in the summer and the course conditions may suffer. It's nothing spectacular, but well worth it if in the area.

Another million dollar round on the I'm busted golf tour. Beautiful resort course right on the lake. Reminded me a lot of Edgewood, lots of trees and lake views. Very sporty layout. I played the 6,200-yard blue tees and the course was very getable. Course was 10's all around, perfect lies, perfect sand, perfect greens. I would call it a once in a lifetime course. It was real and spectacular, and I have no need to play it again. $230 green fee $40 for the wife to ride along, mandatory forecaddie ($30 suggested) and lunch, soon I'm gonna have to start robbing banks to feed my habit.

I wasn't prepared to enjoy the signature floating green hole as much as I did. I thought it was a gimmick, but it was a solid golf hole the day I played it. 170sh mostly all carry into a little breeze. I hit one short into the front bunker and then a shag ball into the back bunker so there is plenty of room even though it's an intimidating tee-shot. You then board a little boat to get there, and if you par the hole you get a certificate.

It's a fun golf course, a bit nickel and dimey, (wouldn't even let my wife deposit one in the water on the signature hole) A bucket lister for sure, maybe the day before you kick the bucket since there will be no money left over. If you get the chance after the round take the wooden boat ride over to the resort. The boats are built in the area and are very cool, it is also a very nice, scenic 10/15min ride on the lake. I think it's only for resort guests, but our forecaddie hooked us up.

I have mixed feelings about this course. It's a real solid golf course that was in perfect shape and in a nice wide-open scenic setting. It has great playability, shot values and is a good test. All the staff were friendly, especially the starter who loved his job and the course. The feelings stem from this course costing $199. I had to play on a weekend, but I think the weekday rate is $179. I don't know if they have a twilight rate. This course could have been a nice $100 course. I think if you stay at the resort you get $20 off the rack rate, and they may have stay and play packages. The course wins all sorts of awards, (best in state and such) so If you can get a deal it's a great golf course but not a $200 golf course in my opinion.

It's been a while since I was wowed by a golf course, this place fits the bill. Stunning setting, immaculate course conditions, tough challenge, what more could you ask for! I even caught a perfect weather day. I can't imagine this course in the wind or the rain. Did I mention tough?

I'm not a fan of the $200+ round of golf but I gotta say this place was worth every penny.
I played with almost no wind, avoided most of the trouble, played with one ball and struggled to break 90. Course conditions were a 10 all around, not a blade of fescue out of place. Greens were fast, smooth, and challenging.

I played a combo set of tees that was 6,302 and not rated very hard. (70.4,127) I guess I must stink because I would put this up there with Bethpage Black and Kiawah Island as far as difficulty. It is also a bit of a death march in a good way walking wise. They take pity on you and drive you up the hill between the 3rd and 4th hole.

Course played like a true links. The ball rolled in the wide fairways, and you could putt from 50 yards off the green, but many balls would feed toward the numerous fairway and greenside bunkers which were all in great shape and varied in difficulty. Bunkers and tall fescue line most fairways and you better hope you are in the bunker. Greens were tough but not tricked up although everyone in the group managed to putt a ball off a green and into a bunker.

If you get a chance, I highly recommend checking it out or adding it to your bucket list.

Golf Moose ran a voucher for a MFAD and I got to play this private course right before it ended. $130 for a twosome. Pancake flat layout that runs thru a housing development. Wind, water, and sand are the major defenses for this course. I played a blue/white combo that was 6316 and a fair test. We caught a 75-degree day with very little wind (very rare) so it played easier than I was expecting. The wind can really howl out here and there is water on every single hole.
I enjoyed the layout; houses surround the course but don't really come into play. The course was in perfect country club shape, good lies, plenty of fairway roll, fluffy sand in all the numerous bunkers and smooth fast greens.
The staff were top notch and very accommodating. We played in the afternoon and had the course to ourselves. If Golf Moose runs another special next year, I highly recommend checking it out.

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.

Played on Wednesday in the Golf Moose outing. Very nice old school, parkland layout. Course was super green and lush, perhaps a little too lush on the greens. They were a little on the slow side, but they rolled just fine, maybe they were growin em out for an aeration. Surprisingly the greens seemed to roll out on approaches and chips adding to the difficulty.

We played the 6,256 yd white tees and the course was flat out tough. Not a ton of elevation change, however a steady breeze, gnarly rough and a zillion trees made for a solid challenge. I'm a pretty straight hitter and I wasn't in a lot of fairways or on a lot of greens in regulation. Most holes are super tight, and tree lined, I finally scoped one and it was 30 yards wide and that wasn't an anomaly. The rough wasn't too long but everybody struggled with it and if you weren't in the rough you were in the trees. Did I mention tight?

Played with fellow GKers Ron, Phillip, and our host Johnny, great group to play with as it was a five-hour round that never felt like a slog. Tee boxes, sand traps, and fairways were all in perfect condition and the four par threes were all different lengths. The outing was less than a $100 and worth the price. Thanks again to JohnnyGK for a great event and I definitely recommend checking it out the next time.

With Nick's prodding and his raving review, I changed my plans and played a twilight round here the day before we played the Mountain. This layout was built later and is much more spread out over the vast property. I got lost many times and the ride from the ninth to the tenth made me want to stop and take a nap. I teed off at almost 3, and not knowing what was up ahead of me I raced around and didn't fully appreciate the subtleties of this course. Greens here were even firmer and faster than the mountain course if that's even possible. Maybe slightly less scenic than the mountain but still a great course and a great test. I was truly humbled and can't wait to have another crack at it. Fairways are wide, bunkers are deep, and the greens are large and sloped. Mountain and cacti views abound.

Played slightly better here but that was because I was rushing and was probably generous with gimme's. Plenty of three putts could've been four putts. Other course conditions were similar to the mountain, just perfect. Not many folks out there and ended up playing in 2hrs.
Can't thank Nick enough for his recommendation and his hospitality. Highly recommend.
