Excellent Course!!

course was in excellent condition. challenging enough for this occasional golfer (championship tees would have been too difficult). not a long ball hitter, but long enough to clear the tee shots. fairways and greens in great shape. highly recommend this course, especially if you can get a Hot Deal from GolfNow....

5 some golf

Overall I liked the course but I can’t recommend a place that turns a blind eye to 5 some golf. We caught up to these clowns early on the back 9. After about three holes when it became apparent they weren’t going to let us (3) play through we called the clubhouse. Their initial response was as if 5 guys playing together was the norm. We asked them to send someone out to address the issue, they said they would but no one came. I wouldn’t expect this from a crappy city owned public hack track, never mind a course with Jacks name on it that is willing to charge $200+ for a round. Unbelievable

Bear's Worst

Met up with three other people and we were all really excited about playing this course. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. By the end of the round we were all just going thru the motions of just finishing the round. What a boring course and of all the holes I can only remember two. The first cause I was ready to play and the last cause I could not wait to get off. As for the greens they were slow as molasses and putted terribly. I feel that if Jack Nicklaus had played the same day we did he would have come back to the club house and said get this course in shape or I'm pulling my name off it.

If this is the “Best”...

You can’t blame Jack for the course upkeep but I’m sure he’d be embarrassed to have his name on this course. The greens were absolutely terrible. The ball would bounce and jump on EVERY green. I went from highly excited to very disappointed in the first 3 holes once I saw the course conditions. This was the consensus with the entire 4some.

I won’t be back and won’t recommend.

Very enjoyable course

My son and I were visiting Las Vegas and decided to play the course. We got a late afternoon start, so got a substantial discount to the regular price. We were just able to get all 18 holes in, but the last two were pretty dark. We enjoyed the course, and the staff were very easy to work with.

Outstanding experience!

All in all, this is a terrific golf course. Very well laid out, challenging and extremely well maintained. The staff is outstanding, and the amenities are top shelf. A bit pricey, but well worth it. I will definitely be back often.

Great course, variety of holes

I really like this course when the price is right. In addition to the golf, I enjoy viewing the beautiful, architecturally amazing homes that line (but not too close) many fairways. Definitely recommend.

Made for good players

It was a good course for good players. It is not made for hackers. If you can’t be consistent with your shots you will shoot a terrible score. 10 handicaps or better will like it. My hacker friends and I can not enjoy.

Great Course, Pace of Play Not so Great

We ended up playing this course due to deal through golf now at 99$/person as a Hot Deal. On the first tee, we were told that keeping pace of play is the utmost importance to ensure all people enjoy their round. By the 4th tee we were waiting on a two-some, waiting on a single, waiting on a four-some. By the ninth hole we were playing with the two-some ahead of us and played as a group of six. We were still pressing groups of two and four in front of us. The pace of play was horrible. Our cart told us we were behind and needed to pick up the pace, the groups around were experiencing the same, all because of slow play.....Course was in good condition, but the issue was the lack of a marshal enforcing the courses number 1 issue. The issue with this course it the difficulty of play and people coming and not able to handle a course like this. My advice is if you have an established handicap the recommended tees are there, but there are hackers that will pay a high price for the course and want to get their moneys worth. This course is worth the 99.00 price, but anything more is a tourist trap......

Slow play

Course was in good condition. GPS on our cart was not functioning. Play was super slow. Would have been a 6 hour round if we would have continued playing but we gave up on the turn as there were 4 groups stacked up on 10.....
