They have tee boxes for all handicaps

I played with 2 guys that new the course and suggested the tee box for me based on my age 70. Worked out, I have a 10 handicap and shot an 82.

Okay value for the money

Was a very nice course three years ago, has downgraded considerably since. Don't play nearly as often. Would rather play Los Lagos, Avi or Old London Bridge.

This course has potential.

Kinda between seasons now so many parts of the course are not in shape. Water inside the bunkers, dry spots and muddy standing water.
Another few weeks and she will be better!

Nice course

Even though they had just over seeded a couple of days before, the course was still in great shape. Greens were fast and hard. Fairways were well cut with a few dry areas along the outside edges. Staff at both the pro shop and the club house were happy to see us. They set us up with one of the local golfers for a threesome which turned out to be a great day on the course. Thanks Terry.

Fun to play and will play it again.

Some holes are very challenging with water all down one side and all acrossed the back of the green (#17). It's very private from hole to hole. Each tee box and fairway are out of view of any other golfers. Enjoyed my round with my friends, Not so much my score.

Great for all players new and old.

This course was great. I have a 14 handicap and I found that this course is as hard as you make it. I brought my 3 year old son and a relative that had never played the game before. The course is wide open with minimal housing to hit into. Even though the greens were being aerated they played great. The greens have a lot of levels but are easy to read. We played the front tees due to having beginners playing along but it still offered some real challanging tee shots. Thanks for the great experiance.

Just enough water to get you in trouble

The grass hoppers are gone. Grass getting thin. May be getting ready to reseed. Greens were great. Lots of drinking water on the course.

Poor fellow....I remember that week of the plague of grasshoppers invading Laughlin...and the wind came with them. Just know that the desert can get swarms of this that and the other once in a great while....it had been about 13 years since I last remember the grasshopper thing....and ten years before that some big black bug plague...so give Laughlin another chance.

A literal plague of locusts.

The course has been overrun with grasshoppers. Driving the cart was like driving through a hail storm and I had to shield my face with one hand so as not to be pelted in the face with them. I really shouldn't comment about the playability of the course because there was a four club wind blowing. I took the hot deal and only paid $25 but if they'd offered to let my come back another day and play for free, I'd have said, "no, thanks."

Very good dessert golf course

Good course that was a great value. Good mix of easier and more difficult holes. The grassed in areas are generous in size. Stray off them is tough on the score and tough on the clubs.

Great course

We had a great round. Lots of challenging holes, but still playable if you miss the fairway. It was quite windy so that made it even more difficult. The beverage cart missed us, but we only saw her twice. Great service from the staff.

Worst course conditions I've played on in 20 years

Nice looking club house and environs. Very nice inside. Staff is friendly. First indication something was wrong was the practice green. Very spotty overseed and very bumpy. Greens on the course were that and worse. Can't remember putting on worse greens, immediately I knew the round was not going to be worth my attention. Fairways look as if there was a half hearted attempt to overseed, the dormant Bermuda shows everywhere. There was no marshal to speed up the two very slow groups ahead of us. In short, it was a painful round of golf. I can't imagine this course will recover without at least a year of investing a lot of money. GolfNow should stop listing it.

Hard to give a true assessment

Unfortunately it was very windy the day we played (20-30mph) so it was hard to judge the course. We found the fairways to be too firm and there were some brown areas, even on some greens, but we would like to go back and play under more favourable wind conditions. It was good value for the money.
