This was my first time to Reflection Bay and I was very impressed with every aspect of the experience. From check in through the after-round lunch, the facility was top notch.

The location of the course is beautiful. It is surrounded by Lake Las Vegas, which is much larger than I thought it would be. There was a lot of recreational activity going on in the lake, and it was fun to watch people goofing off while I hacked away.

The course was a lot of fun. The tee shots weren't too tight, but there were lots of water type penalty areas scattered around to keep you honest. The fairways were very nice, with plenty of coverage. The rough was a fair length; playable, but long enough to affect shots. The sand was Covid impacted, but I have no problem with moving my ball to a representative spot in the sand. The greens were very nice for summer, and that's the most important element, to me.

Many thanks to Johnny for setting up another great outing. Reflection Bay is one of many courses I probably would never have played without his tireless efforts.

Played the GK Plays event on Saturday, 7/26. Gorgeous weather with early tee times was perfect. Course was in typical Reflection Bay condition, which never disappoints. Lush fairways. Rough was about 1-2 inches, just enough to cause issues. Greens were smooth and running about "9.5-10" according to my source. Perfect speed for me. I was in only one bunker and it's the one marked GUR so it was perfect for me. Did not look like anyone else in our group had bunker issues. Overall great conditions. Service was spectacular. Carts with GPS and a cooler filled with water, which can be topped off at the turn. While no drink cart on the course, the bar was open before and at the turn. After the round, we went to the banquet area for food and drinks. I went with the Philly Cheesesteak, which was delicious with homemade chips. I will admit I'm a huge Reflection Bay fanboy but it never disappoints whenever I play. It's the 1st course I recommend in Vegas (without a Cascata/Shadow Creek budget). Must play in Vegas.

It’ll take me a couple of days to catch my breath and get caught up on reviews from this past weekend. I’ll start with Reflection Bay. This is my second time playing this course and it may just have become a regular stop on my Vegas rotation of courses. Mainly because of all the great water features. As many know, I love a course with water features both internally and externally and Refection Bay fits the bill perfectly. The course opens up with a pond right in front of the first tee box that leads into a stream that follows the left side of the fairway. From there you get treated to some rolling hill terrain with another couple of water features until you come back around to the lake. Hole 8 & 9 are right on the lake’s edge with the greens being stuck out on the waters edge. Absolutely beautiful. The back nine has multiple water features mixed in throughout and then 17 & 18 finish up back on the lake’s edge. Because the finishing holes approach from the opposite side, the lake is now on the left and prevents the holes from being a been there done that feeling.

The clubhouse and pro shop are situated to overlook the lake for some nice views during a post round meal or drink.

Course conditions were very nice all around. Fairways were excellent. Easily an 8 or 9 They provided a good balance between offering good roll out yet a nice cushioned surface to hit from.

Greens were just a touch below the fairways being in the 7-8 range. They rolled smooth at a medium-fast pace. Some of the greens did have some different grass growing around the edges. Not sure if this is a seasonal grass change over for the high heat summer or some sort of disease. It seemed to always be on the edge of the green and didn’t affect any putts.

Tee boxes were also well manicured being level and lush with very few divots on the senior tees.

Customer service was excellent all round with attendants making sure your single rider cart was well stocked with bottled water before the round and at the turn. They were then ready to greet us at the end and wipe down our clubs which I always appreciate after a nice round.

I should be getting out to Las Vegas more often now that the Raiders are there. And on Sundays when everyone else is at the game, I’ll be at Reflection Bay!!

Played on 2/28 as the 1st course of a weekend Vegas buddies trip. Teed off a few minutes ahead of our 12:50 tee time. There was a slight back up on 6, but course moved along and the back 9 opened up. Finished right about 4 hours. An absolute joy from bag drop to the 19th hole. Course was in immaculate conditions. Level, damage free tee boxes. Lush fairways with some nice afternoon run. Rough is still dormant, but green is starting to peak through. Bunkers were in good shape with plenty of medium heavy sand. Greens were awesome and FAST. Service was what is expected from a high end resort course. We pulled up right behind a group of 12, all wearing Loudmouth (awesome!) outfits and doing parking lot shots. The attendant stopped by our car after we dropped our bags, asked our names, and our bags were off the rack before we walked in. Enjoyed some pre-round food and post round drinks in the bar/grill. The outside staff is probably my favorite, just friendly and chatty. Easily my favorite Vegas course, and the 1st I recommend when anyone visiting asks "Where should I play?" Conditions are always great, nice views, and the back 9 is such a blast.

Thursday January 16th… Had a great time at Reflection Bay with JohnnyGK and Rob1563. The course was in excellent shape with smooth fairways, quick greens and beautiful water and mountain views.

The practice area featured only mats and nets for full shots. However, the chipping and pitching area allowed for a good warm up on those all-important short shots.

We teed off on number 10 and took our time…taking pictures and letting a couple of groups play through, yet finished in well under four hours.

While all the holes were fun to play, the par three 8th and par five 9th, which ran along Lake Las Vegas, provided a truly memorable finish to our round.

Service was terrific. The staff was very friendly and helpful handling our clubs. And the free beverage after the round was a great way to end the day.

Reflection Bay has easily become my favorite Vegas course. Conditions are consistently great. Today we had smooth greens, lush fairways, and nice, medium heavy sand in the bunkers. The rough is dormant Bermuda, which really makes the course "pop" from the tee box.

Customer service was excellent, from bag drop to grill to drink cart and finally the cart drop, just friendly staff with great service.

Reflection Bay is the 1st course I recommend to anyone making a Vegas golf trip. Great course with some fun holes and excellent views.

Best way to cap off some travel is golf with GKers at a great golf course! Good times with rob1563 and LarryTee in Vegas yesterday.

Caught some beautiful weather and Reflection Bay was in excellent shape as always. I say always because I’ve played the golf course in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter and its always in great shape. Green roll smooth and medium/fast. Fairways whether overseeded or summer bermunda are lush. Bunkers always maintained excellent. Service, facility and pace of play excellent.

Yesterday the golf course had the classic beautiful dark green fairways framed by dormant bermunda rough (see photos I just posted) and played firm. Super fun with all the contours out there. Greens smooth and mostly fast. Fairways lush. Tee boxes lush. Bunkers contained quality sand and well maintained. We teed off the back nine first because of an earlier frost delay which I actually like how the golf course sets up that way better. As a threesome we hardly ever waited, in fact let some twosomes play through. Constantly saw the friendly on course food and beverage service. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains throughout. I love this golf course.

Highly Recommended.

Played with 5 good friends and fellow GKers last Saturday. Had a GREAT time. I really liked this course and can't wait to play it again. It was interesting and different with lots of water and plenty of elevation changes. Some beautiful views to top it all off. The greens were fast and receptive. The fairways were lush and green and rolled well. The rough was just penalizing enough to make you wish you weren't there. Snack cart came around plenty of times. GPS on the carts made it super convenient. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was very nice and helpful- made us feel like royalty! It was fun to say hi to Kevin in the pro shop too. Always nice to reconnect with other GKers! We'll definitely be back.

Had the pleasure of going out here last Sunday to play a great round of golf with great friends. We stayed out a little too late the previous night, to make out 9:30 tee time. Staff was great, big thanks to Kev for getting us out there!

First hole... where to begin... shanked three into the water to start the round, didn't hit a fairway on the first hole, but the greens were in great shape!

We couldn't of asked for better weather, mid 80's 5-10mph winds.

Tee boxes - The tee boxes were perfect, never a bare spot to tee off from.

Fairways - Fairways were in great shape, got some great rolls if you hit it right in the center, no matter where you ball landed it was in a perfect spot for your next shot.

Bunkers - Was in plenty of these on Sunday, 4 at least. People really did their best in cleaning up after their bunker shots, which was great for myself. Very soft sand, allowed for the club to get right under the ball and get out every time.

Greens - Greens were in fantastic shape, true rolls, received shots very well.

This course is fantastic, I would highly recommend taking the drive out here to play this course!
