Day 2 in Vegas was at the always enjoyable Reflection Bay. I didn’t get to play here a couple of months ago so I wanted to make sure I didn’t skip this GK supporter course this go around. Check in was a bit of a mess. Pro shop was fine but getting a cart was a 10 minute ordeal. They wanted to charge us extra for single carts when we didn’t want single carts. I will hand it to one of the young gentleman cart attendants who new his customer service and got it all straightened out. The other gal, I’m sorry to say was clueless and didn’t want to solve the problem. Her only “solution” was go pay for a single cart.

Once that was straightened I opted to skip the hitting bay in favor of a breakfast sandwich which was extremely reasonably priced. Off to the first tee as a foursome teeing off right at our 7:40 tee time behind the 7:30 am group.

Reflection bay just aerated their greens a couple of weeks ago and they are still about a week or so from being completely healed but are pretty close. Putts rolled smooth at a medium-slow pace. Either I seemed to always be on the “correct” side or the greens are more docile than I remembered. Most greens only had subtle breaks.

Fairways were lush and a pleasure to hit from. Looking down the fairways from the tee box, you could see a lot of brown coloring blended throughout the fairways. My guess is they have done some maintenance and possibly verticut the fairways a few weeks ago. Standing over your ball you didn’t notice the brown tint and again, the fairways were plush.

Tee boxes were all level with ample coverage including the par 3’s.

As many including myself have stated before, Reflection Bay is a super fun layout that has tons of elevation changes and handful of holes right on the lake. Pace of Play was spectacular. Our foursome finished right at 3.5 hours! The group in front of us was long gone and they must have finished a good 1.5-2 holes ahead of us and we never saw the group behind us.

Reflection Bay is always an enjoyable track and today was no exception.
