Well maintained course and a fantastic value in Las Vegas Valley

First time playing this course after having frequented the excellent practice areas several times. Course is well maintained and our pace of play was speedy for a weekday afternoon in beautiful weather. Greens fees can’t be beat in the Vegas valley.

Great Value for a Quick Game

A nice par 60 layout for a great price. Great to get out and play a fast game. Forces you to use your irons and chip shots more on this course. Overall good condition, and great value for money.

Great executive course, fairways are a bit sparse

The greens were in good shape, punched recently so they were a bit sandy and bumpy. Still a great course and a fun walkable course.

Poor conditions at the moment

There's little differentiation between the fairway and the rough here - the grass is the same cut, the rough has more dry patches. Tee boxes are not cut short enough, was challenging to find a flat part of the tee box. Tees were in awful locations in the tee box.

The course is lacking water in important parts (tee boxes, center of "fairway"). The bunker on #2 did not have enough sand in it. The website said the greens would be "healed by the 11th".... I played on the 10th... judge for yourself.

Layout wasn't long enough for long hitters. The par 4's were under 340 from the tips, and only 3 of the par 3's were more than a wedge. Hole #9 and #18 had challenging approaches over water.

Course is too dry to play. Hardly any green grass on the fairways.

Great short course

I don't play very often and haven't played for 2 years; this is a terrific executive course to get back in the groove.

Good practice course

The course is in fair condition. The greens are pretty good for the most part. The tee boxes are the worst part of this course. They are not close to level and you get the worst lies on the tee which should never happen.
