Had a great time playing in the GK outing.

The short version: the conditions throughout the course were very good to excellent in all facets.

The long(er) version: arrived a little early to check out the course and facilities. The clubhouse and restaurant were both very nice. Made my way over to the putting green near the first tee and it was rolling very nice. There was a bit of rain in the hour leading up to our tee time so it wasn’t all that quick, but the speed on the greens steadily picked up throughout the day. The rain softened up the greens a bit which made them very receptive to shots with most clubs and were rolling true.

The tee boxes and fairways were excellent to hit from. We ran into a few soggy areas in the fairways but with the unexpected rain it’s not a surprise.

The rough wasn’t terribly thick but it was a challenge to advance the ball with linger clubs and made club selection crucial from the rough.

I didn’t find myself in any bunkers so I can’t comment from personal play but my playing partners all said they were well stocked and after they dried a bit from the rain were very nice to hit from.

Overall the course provided a lot of variety in holes and stunning views both on and away from the water holes. As always had a great time with the GK crew and looking forward to my next outing and trip to RB.

Played 6-30-19 in a GK outing with John, Rob, and Jerry teeing off mid morning and finishing in about 4 1/2 hours. Tee boxes were in good shape, nice coverage and level. Fairways were very nice with lush lies and decent roll out. Rough was in good shape, not to long and fairly easy to hit from. Was in one greenside bunker on 18 that was in good shape with a nice layer of sand. Greens were in really good condition, rolling smooth at a medium/slow speed and holding shots very nicely. This is a very fun course to play with some elevation changes and some good holes along the lake. It has a good variety of holes to keep you interested throughout your round. Overall conditions of the course were really good for early summer and definitely worth getting out and playing.

Great GK plays with John, Matt, and David on 6/30. I have played here 4 times and conditions have not wavered no matter the season.

Great GK plays with John, Matt, and David on 6/30. I have played here 4 times and conditions have not wavered no matter the season.

Conditions were awesome for the beginning of summer. For me, the greens were the highlight. I thought they were smooth and the speed was consistent throughout. The only bumps I saw were from old unrepaired ball marks. Fairways were lush with no bare areas. Rough was decent. The sand was heavy but easy to hit out.

I love this course and is easily a top pick in the Vegas area. Course is so fun to play and even though it's a Nicklaus Signature course, it's one of his tamer ones. Wide fairways and green complexes that don't overly penalize you. Definitely a must play in Vegas.

Thank you everyone that came out to Reflection Bay for our GK Plays Sunday.

Golf course was in excellent conditions. As overall green and lush as I’ve ever played it. Bunker all groomed with high quality sand. Tee boxes lush and great shape. Rough challenging, lush and tough. That bermunda grass is only going to get longer as the heat picks up so it puts a tremendous price on accuracy from tee to green. Greens running smooth, holding shots and medium speed. When you have bent grass greens like they do you have to keep them a little long in the summer.

The more I play this layout, the more I like it. Most of the time I’ve played it from the black tees, this time from the white tees and it’s so cool how different it plays from the tee boxes as such. Big premium on tee shot accuracy. I was hitting fantastic long accurate tee shots on the front nine and shot 1 over (I don’t keep score but hard not to know it when you are playing that well). Back nine my driver got little loose and played around bogey golf. That's quick this golf course can hook you up or bite you. Beautiful green complexes and scenery. Check out the photos I just posted.

Great time playing with rgm2525, Jerry64 and robrey85. Joking around all day.

I posted some photos of golf course here and some of the outing in the GK Events page. I’m also making posts about the outing on Greenskeeper.org Facebook and Instagram pages.

On last thing. The service and amenities are stellar. If you ever want to do an outing in Vegas better consider Reflection Bay Golf Club. Just love this place.

Highly Recommended.

Enjoyed another great day @ Reflection Bay today. We were fortunate in the early part of the day to have cloud cover to keep the temp enjoyable.
The course itself was in really good shape overall. Minor aeration areas, but they didn’t really affect play. Greens were in great shape. Sand is very playable. There's a great mixture of fairway widths and the course is not the stereo-typical ‘resort course’. It’s by no means easy, but it’s not punishing either - if you ‘know your own strength’ ;).
Reflection Bay is a very eye- pleasing stroll and the staff there are top notch and great with customer service. This is becoming one of our necessary stops whenever we are in the Vegas area!
Give it a try! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!

I would say the greens are rolling 5 out of 10 for speed but definitely about an 8 out of 10 as far as smoothness is concerned. I saw a couple of bumpy rolls on a few holes today that annoyed me but t... Continue »

I would say the greens are rolling 5 out of 10 for speed but definitely about an 8 out of 10 as far as smoothness is concerned. I saw a couple of bumpy rolls on a few holes today that annoyed me but the course as a whole is in fantastic condition. Get out and play while you can because this is one of my favorite courses in town.

Enjoyed an Awesome day out at reflection bay 5/31. GK reviews showed that the conditions were awesome lately so we decided to head out and play. We tee’d off early and only a fast foursome was in front of us. We very rarely saw them and nobody behind made for an enjoyable pace of 3:45.

As for course conditions RB is still in amazing shape. From tee to green the course is still in immaculate shape. Tee boxes has full coverage and lots of space to choose from. Fairways very lush with only one brown spot that I could remember. It was cut Nicely and provided decent roll. Greens were firm and glassy, they did hold well struck shots but made you think hard about all putts. Rough is also lush and just long enough to penalize bad contact. Sand is currently being replenished on a few holes bust was mostly good.

Overall this is a wonderful course that has no two holes alike. I can’t wait to come back for GK plays at the end of the month.

Played 4-26-19. This was the first of a three-round weekend with Gkr’s wsbell57, colmcd, and iluv2golflady. It was the first time for all of us to play Reflection Bay. We were very excited to play after reading so many great GK reviews. Our first impression when we drove by it was just “WOW.” The fairways that we could see from the street were a stunning shade of emerald green and we knew right then that we were in for a huge treat. The clubhouse is a beautiful building with spectacular views of the bay. It was a good thing we arrived early because we took so many photos before we even got onto the golf course! We had a nice lunch in the restaurant and then a quick visit with Gkr kevbig before heading out to play. The course conditions I can describe very simply- they are as close to perfect as I’ve ever seen from tee to green. The fairways are lush without a spot of brown anywhere. The tee boxes are tightly trimmed and level. The bunkers are sparkling white and the greens smooth and rolled medium fast. The course is as tough, though, as it is beautiful. I didn't play well and it beat me up pretty badly ...I just can’t wait to give it another try!

Date 4/5 Time - 1030 Temp 75° w/ 15-20 mph winds Decided to play reflection on Friday when we got in town. I knew before hand that the greens were punched but the greens didn't bother me at all. They still rolled true and I only had one or two putts jump on me. The staff did a great job filling the holes with sand and they were out on the course dragging carpets on the greens after us. The grounds crew here does a fantastic job with this challenging layout. They finally got the new carts with GPS and they are very comfortable and the GPS is a nice addition. Overall the course was in amazing shape fairways were a 9/10 with the exception of one on the back nine where they were relaying grass. Rough 9/10 is mostly out of its dormancy and starting to get very penal I had a few shots get stuck in the rough which normally is a good thing unless you want a bounce towards a green, that was not happening today. Tee 9/10 were great, they have a few sets to choose from and only the par 3's had some divots. Sand 5/10 is the next thing they will need to focus on at RB. I was in about 5 traps and all except one were firm. Personally I like them more firm than most but these were borderline bad. I did find one trap on 8 that my ball absolutely plugged into the face. Overall this course is a must play.
