Great course, excellent condition and fine service. Very interesting holes, most with severe elevation changes. The feel of the course changes dramatically throughout the round. First you start by winding through canyons with narrow fairways. In the middle holes you are in the middle of a housing tract with wide meandering fairways. Then for the last four holes the monster strikes. Fairways laid out at an angle with plenty of traps and hazards so to just keep the ball in play is challenging. Greens are elevated and tucked behind more hazards.

Greens were very hard and fast even though they had a thin layer of sand applied to the surface. Without the sand they would have beedn brutal.

I definitely suggest you choose yoiur tees very carefully. the whites were a shade short of 6000 yards and gave me plenty to think about. With all the challenges that the course provides you need to shorten the yardage or the day will be very long.

Played on 7/28 on hot vegas summer day. I got great rate for this 4some so everyone was psyched. Customer service is great here but course was not in best shape greens and tee boxes need work summer heat is beating them up. Layout is great with fun decisions on almost every hole (driver or 3wood )(layup or go). I believe the best set of par 5's in vegas. Great course but summer is taking it's toll!!! Hopefully it bounces back when cooler weather prevails!!

All in all the course was in good shape. It seemed like every hole we played today the grounds crew was out with stationary sprinklers and hoses and watering a lot. Only real complaint I had was the fairway on Hole #5. It was horrible, there were more bare spots than those with grass. Otherwise, good.

I reserved my tee time the day before (played on 4/17) with standbygolf and got a rate of $178 which is not that much of a discount. Was staying at the MGM and this course is about a $40 cab ride. The practice range has grass tees and there is a short game and putting green near the clubhouse all of which were very nice. Teed off at about 8:30 with another single and we didn't hit another group until about the 12th or 13th hole and we couldn't pass them because there were other groups ahead of them. Now about the course. The greens were slick, these greens rolled true and were absolutely smooth. I would not have expected this with these greens b/c they appeared to be a little brown in some spots but this had no effect on the roll of the ball. I played the back tees and I don't think the course plays as long as the score card indicates but if you can keep the ball in play and putt well you should do well here. Fairways, tee boxes, and sand were all great. The rough wasn't overall difficult so there was really no penalty for going in. The views of this course were pretty incredible and I've played the reflection bay courses and the tpc course and neither had the views in my opinion compared to this course. The only thing that left a sour taste in my mouth was the guy I played with and I were going to share a ride back to the strip and the course got us a ride back but there must have been some deal in the works b/c there were several cabs that dropped other golfers off but we couldn't get a ride with them so we had to wait 45 minutes for our ride to get there. Also the ride was $75 back to the strip, not sure exactly how it costs $40 to get there and $75 back. I've learned to just rent a car next time i'm there. All in all this was a great experience and i would definitely play this course again.

Played 7/14/07 Nice course and people. Play it if you go to LV. Not a bad hole on the course.

A nice layout, with a good mix of wide open fairways, and very challenging narrow holes. It is a good test for every level of golfer, with some forced carries off each of the many tee placements, and some well designed par 3s that trick the eye from the tee. The service was very good (friendly, helpful, and caring).

Played 4/25/07 in the late afternoon on a warm, sunny day with only light breezes. Course was almost deserted at this time of day - but cart girl came by a couple times. Very good conditions with greens being quick and almost too firm. Fairways in good shape, not-too-severe rough, plenty of sand in the bunkers. Unfilled divots and unrepaired ball marks on greens were a fairly serious problem, and many tees are not level. This course plays through several arroyos resulting in many sidehill lies, which get more severe the farther from the fairway center you go. Designed for better players. Recommended.

Classic Troon service. This was my second trip here and the key piece of advice that I can give is make sure to check on the condition of the course before you visit. I played today and the course was in great condition, second only to the incredible service we received. I played last August and the course was sopping wet and dying. Besides a few gimmick holes, the track is nice and very enjoyable to play. If the wind picks up, some of the uphill holes can play long.

Played 4/4/07 on a warm, humid late afternoon with a steady breeze moving through the deep arroyos on this course. Wind was most often dead behind or dead into you as it funneled through these openings, so it really affected club selection. Course was in very good condition – greens were firm but rolled well, fairways gave good lies, rough was not too long but could grab the clubhead. You need to be aware of where hills and the Vegas Valley are to determine which way putts will turn. Severe elevation changes on some holes and some semi-blind shots mean that playing previously definitely helps in terms of knowing where to hit shots. Minor negatives - several very uneven or sloped tee boxes; many tees were placed well forward of card distances today; water only at bathrooms after 4 and 13, and we got parched. No cart girl this late. Recommended.
