Laughlin Ranch Golf Club

The course had been overbooked and additional groups appear to have been allowed out which resulted in extremely slow play, 3 hours for 9 holes is not a pleasant experience even if the course is in good shape.

The day started with the news that my tee time had been moved back without any advice and then they could not get the groups out in any semblance of order or timeliness. It was also evident that they did not have sufficient golf carts for the number of players on the course, as they were rushing carts from the 18th back to get new groups out.

The only saving grace for the day was the starter sending me back around the front nine again.

Booked a tee time to have enough light to finish the round, showed up 40 minutes prior to tee time and was told that I would need to wait at least 45 minutes for a cart to become available as all the carts were in use on the course...So I could use the practice facility if I could 'find any balls down there', which there was none...So used the practice green for about 15 minutes and then sat and waited for a cart to be deliver which ended up being 45 minutes after my booked tee time...Course pace was a bit slow...The other twosome stopped at the turn to reload their cooler and clubhouse had no urgency to get them back out on the course...Needless to say we played 17 in the dark and then returned to the clubhouse...disappointing for the rate paid with no offer of range balls to compensate for delay of nearly an hour...

Positives: Nice, challenging layout. Good clubhouse and practice facility.

Negatives: Pace of play. We waited on every hole and never saw a ranger (5:35 min round). Sand traps were hard packed and full of rocks and pebbles. Greens were sparse. Charged for range balls even though they were supposed to come with the round.

Great layout but slow play so have time. No marshalls. Nobody around at 6:00 PM to ask about your round!

Great layout. Can be difficult if you choose the wrong tee's.

Great round of golf. Course was challenging and made us think where to play the ball. Breathtaking views of the mountains & valley. We will definitely be back for more rounds in the near future!

Had a great time playing this course. My threesome finished in about 3.5 hours. The course is very hilly. Even if they allowed it this is not a walking course. Fairways and greens were in great shape. The rough was challenging. The sand traps were not playable; many rocks and drainage problems. This is the one area that could use improvement. Many side hill lies but nothing ridicules. The greens were smooth but very slow. We all agreed we would like to play it again. Start to finish we had a great time.

This is by far the best course in the Laughlin area. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape but the bunker needed a little TLC. The staff was top notch! This is my new favorite course to play when in Laughlin for a weekend get a way.

Note: All pictures were taken at the silver tees.

This is one challenging course, especially from the back two sets of tees. The course is in great condition for this time of the summer. Fairways, rough and greens are in fantastic shape. The only negative is the traps. Both fairway as well as greenside traps are filled with dirt and rocks. Not a bit of sand anywhere. If the traps were in better shape, this course could easily get a 5 out of 5 rating. That being said, it is still the best course in the Laughlin area.

I love playing this course. If it wasn't for the sand traps which had a lot of stones and rocks in them this would be one of the best courses to play in Arizona. Views are awesome, tee box to greens were great.

Using Golfnow.com made this round of golf affordable. Laughlin Ranch is a superior facility. The course was in impeccable shape. I was paired up with a senior couple and followed a PGA minor league tournament. I was impressed by the holes being painted white around the rim. I have never played a course with that feature. I one putted several greens and shot a 77 that day which tied my best ever. Down side of using Golfnow.com and getting the wonderful inexpensive rate, my wife road with me and being the honest sort that I am the pro shop charged me $20.00 for her to ride in my cart. The views are breathtaking, the several different tee box options for many handicaps make it playable for all abilities. I love this course PERIOD.

We went during reseeding looking forward to going back in March! Otherwise course would have gotten pristine! So beautiful but extremely difficult my husband and I felt this course was as if not harder then Plantation in Maui!

The course was in good shape. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing 15-20 mph. It is a difficult course without the wind. But, it was fun enough to replay.

The course was in real nice condition but you needed to play attention to where you needed to hit your shots and the pin placements. The greens were slower than normal but the ball still rolled real nice, Also, the golf course did not honor the $49.00 residents rate from Golfnow, so we had to play $59.00 at the course..

Bring a camera cause the views are something to have. The best desert course in the area, very nice practice range and putting / chipping. Note the time difference between Laughlin and Bullhead city. Greens run very very nice. People are very nice at the course.

Exceptional views, quite hilly, challenging for low to mid-handicapper. Would definitely play again

I played from the Zinc Blocks 6,300yds and my wife played from copper.from the Zinc the course was perfect for my 12 handy cap your having to tee off over waste areas on most of the holes and your second shot onto the green is challenging as there 2 tear greens and have the right amount of breaks.As for the wifes tees they were very user friendly,they take away all the waste area for the ladies so a very enjoyable course to play.the ball washers were about 1 per nine holes so they could add a few more but not a deal breaker by any means its a very pretty course. Don't do like i did and forget your camera

A word of warning - if coming from Nevada or California check the time in AZ!! The staff were very accommodating to us being a little late. Our front nine was great. A little windy. No one ahead or behind our twosome (2 ladies!). The course is spectacular and very challenging. We were enjoying our golf. Then we caught the three men in three carts on number 10!! Slow, slow, slow. Why is it men will not allow ladies to play through? They were not very good and we hit the ball farther than they did. It is a fallacy that women golfers are slow. We waited on every shot which ruined it for us. So you men reading this review - please don't leave your manners behind when you head out to the golf course.

Greens were in poor shape. Have played here before and look forward to playing here again. The price paid was too much for the condition of the greens. Course running a 29 dollar special but charging 49 on line. We got it for 44 and didn't know condition of greens. Disappointed.

this is a tough one to review because the golf course itself is actually really good.i still think mojave resort has more character but both courses are fine.my problem is with the staff. we booked online 2 weeks before.we show up and pay in the clubhouse and drive down to the practice area where the starter is.we look around and theres people everywhere. we ask the starter whats going on and aparently theres a pro/am tournament( from what i could tell some very average pros and very below average ams).so we had to wait well beyond our start time for this tournament of 8 flights with some 5 and 6 balls to get underway and eventually we finished 6 hours later after watching these torunament players spend eternity( at least it felt ike it) hitting out of rock canyons.the amatuers were gambling with each other so there were no drops given.one par 3 was backed up so much that we waited 25 minutes to play. the marshall wasnt about to tell these guys to speed up so we just had to accept it.
after the round the other 2 in our flight went up to complain and they didnt seem to care.
i have no problem with clubs running tournaments but they should inform you before you pay.at least then you have the option of going somehwere else .and the marshalls should keep the pace of play going regardless of tournament or social.
mojave resort is a more interesting course anyway so i wont be coming back.
