Great Course

The golf course is in great shape and fun to play. Plenty of challenge but still good for higher handicappers. Even the drink carts were correctly spaced.

Only negative would be that their are not enough restrooms on the course.

Greens need care

The Greens were inconsistent and “bumpy” due to the grass being patchy. Excellent layout and super fun to play. Staff are very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Fairways were in good shape.

Disappointing service

Visit each time I’m in Vegas. 3rd trip. Course layout, views are spectacular. Fairways great. Tee boxes awful- some sorta bare. Greens were a mess. Uneven, bumpy. Biggest problem was service. No one at bag drop. Dropped bag, parked. Still no one. Carried bag myself. Went to pro shop, asked for cart. Was told where I could get it myself. Loaded bags on own. Then no starter anywhere. So went out on own. As it appeared we were last tee time anyway. Course and views are a 5, service on this day a 1 (But refreshment cart girls were great!)

Staff was excellent from bag drop, pro shop, starter and drink cart Betty, Pre round warmup areas are well maintained as well as clean new complementary Callaway range balls. Golf carts are new and have an excellent Bluetooth and accurate GPS systems on board. Course was challenging, but fair for the random miss hit. Great time for my wife and I.

Overpriced

Teed off at 1pm on Sunday and the staff was so concerned about carts /pace of play that they locked down the cart so you couldn’t drive to putting green or chipping area. Ok I’ll walk back and forth… finally unlocked carts only to pull up and have the foursome in front, still on tee box… ok I’ll wait to hit.. first time here, it doesn’t look like an easy hole, I’m sure it moves along after this…. Nope!!! Waited on every hole kept thinking it was the group in front but no they were waiting too… no Marshall ever!! This course was way overbooked or they don’t pay attention to slow play. Didn’t finish in daylight. I had my buddies with me, played great but paid too mush for the misery of this slow play.!
