Best Course Vegas has to Offer

Beautiful course. Challenging but fun. Best on course amenities possible, you’ll feel it as soon as you sit down. Awesome to have Jack talk you through each hole through the GPS on the cart. Will be my new home course for sure and I love all the way out in Henderson.

Comes as Advertised

Had always wanted to play here and finally got a chance and was not disappointed. Good variety of holes from "drivable" par 4s , to black sanded bunkers on 2 holes to the spectacular 18th hole. Added bonus is the course is surrounded by mega mansions which are awe inspiring, but set back from the course so as to not come into play if you hit an errant tee shot. 12 minute gap in tee times makes for a nice pace of play.

Great Facility with Great Blend of Holes

This course was in excellent shape and had a variety of short challenging holes with long difficult ones. Impressive were the views of the mountains and the great looking homes surrounding the course. Accuracy is required both off the tee and into the greens so bring your A game

Great Nicklaus layout

I always like Jack Nicklaus courses and I look forward to playing this one again. Greens must have been plugged in the last three weeks as the they were bumpy and slow. The rest of the course was in great shape especially if you factor in the hard rain they had 24 hours prior to my play.
