Great Course

The golf course is in very good condition, the staff excellent, I lost my wedding ring in one the T-boxes and as we were from the last ones came back the next day and all the local staff helped me look for it and found it, 2 days later it was my 30th anniversary and we had our mass and I was able to present my ring. They saved my day...

Great compilation of Nicklaus courses

Great course with plenty of options to play from multiple tees. Excellent layout, good flow of the course. Plenty of space with a few hazards but not going to ruin your round.

Best of best in LV

What can I say? As a golfer, I wish to play in a very nice layout and also challenging. This course provided me that. Staff are great, teebox to greens are in excellent shape, and lastly the huge beautiful houses all around the course gives you something to chat about. I’ll come back again, and again, and again for sure except I’ll adjust my tee time in the morning. The course gets really cold after 3pm.

Great Course

The course was fantastic. Good shape plenty of challenges. Be ready for bunkers and rocks if you get off the fairway. Everyone was friendly. Played at a very quick pace but I went alone and got paired up with a few members of the club. Nice people but as this was my first time playing there I wanted to “take it in” so to speak. I didn’t see a beverage cart during my playing time. Great views, just wish I could have taken a little more time to see it. I will play this course again.

Masterpiece

Best course I've played. Felt like I played one signature hole after the other. A masterpiece by Jack. So much creativity in the design of the holes. Layout, bunkering, design, conditions, greens, tee boxes, fairways .... I rate them all a 10. And the course blends perfectly in its beautiful desert surroundings, plus mountain and strip views.. The course runs through a housing development, but the homes are backed off and at times you forget about them. The homes are spectacular by the way. Add this course to your Vegas must-play short list. I just can't put into words how special this course is.
