Played on Friday, 8/9 with famed02 for his birthday, joined by his son andy.drew621 and his buddy Barney. Gorgeous morning, 80* at 6:40, warmed up a bit during the round and finished in about 4:20. This is easily in my Top 3 of Vegas courses. It has never disappointed. Conditions were excellent for late summer. Level tee boxes. Lush, carpet like fairways with a couple GUR areas, but overall fantastic shape. Rough was 2-3 inches, just enough to make you think. What surprised me the most is the bunker conditions. For the amount of wind they get through the canyons, sand was perfect, a medium heaviness that was easy to hit from and plenty of sand in the bunkers. I was warned by kevbig at check in the greens were running slow, but I still found them a decent medium speed. There were some little ant holes on a few holes, but if they were on your line, a little swipe of the foot leveled them. Great customer service, good food, and a fantastic beer selection. Carts have GPS (to the center) along with USB and ultra comfortable seats. I love the layout and design of the course, with a nice mix of risk/reward and long/short holes. Greens are not your typical Nicklaus multi-tier design, but he does make you pay if you miss them.Definitely a must play in Vegas.
