At Red Rock Country Club, Arnold Palmer has created an escape from desert golf with a lush green course that forces golfers to think over their shots. As you're thinking, a waterfall could be crashing in the background. There are actually two Palmer courses here, but only The Arroyo is open for public play.

It measures in at 6,883 yards from the back tees and uses dramatic bunkering to set off its holes. The par 4s are particularly inventive, especially the 432-yard 4th. The par-3 seventh gives you great views of The Strip in the distance. The greens consistently run 10-11 on the Stimpmeter and the fairways are designed to funnel shots that are not overly wild back into decent lies.

"The Arroyo Course is what it is -- a playable course with stunning scenery and a smattering of decent golf holes," former TravelGolf.com writer Shane Sharp said. "It won't provide as memorable a round as Sin City's big-name resort courses, but the price is relative. If you're looking for a course to include in your annual Vegas rotation, Arroyo would be a nice addition, considering its conditioning and scenery."

Staff were not that friendly.

They had my tee time wrong. I wouldn’t have finished if they sent me out later. Starter was confused and kept Callaway by me the wrong name and was annoyed that I was moved to the correct tee time.

Nice Views, fun course

Beautiful course and the price is very reasonable. Play one of the back two sets of tees if you want to see the best the course has to offer.

We did have one little negative when a ranger was pretty rude to us when we accidentally went to the forbidden part of the driving range that wasn't marked but was for members only, but other than that, I really enjoyed the scenic views and the overall course.

Great course, spectacular views

Beautifully landscaped, nice holes, challenging but not too difficult. Play was a little slow and it is quite a maze getting from hole to hole. Overall a good experience.

Good course at the right price

Got a decent price on golf now, not sure I would be wiling to pay the $100+ posted price. The course was in nice shape with quick greens. Took the entire group several holes to figure out the speed of the greens, but they were consistent. Finding your way to the first hole, and then finding the next tee on some holes is a challenge and you drive a long distance in some cases just hoping you are going in the right direction. Most of the bunkers were OK, but some had a lot of rocks and we just pulled our balls out of them as we didn't want to wreck a club (or our wrist). Overall it was an enjoyable course and will include it on future golf trips if we can get it at the right price.

Great layout but... to many unrepaired ball marks!

This course has a stunning layout and amazing views, we bought via Golfnow's hot deals. The group loved everything from the very first shot, but every hole had way way to many unrepaired ball marks. I suggested to the golf to purchase cheap repair tools with the course name on it. It would serve multiple purposes. One gives the customer a souvenir, but also puts that reminder in their pocket from the start. The Walking Stick does it over in Arizona and it's a great idea! After our round we ran into OJ in the clubhouse, he lives in one of the many stunning homes surrounding the golf course.

Gem in the Vegas Area

Great golf course experience! Course was in good condition. The pace of play was excellent. We all felt many of the holes are simply majestic! Driving range closed down at 1:30pm before we could get a warm up because it was Monday. Not a deal breaker though. Staff was ok, a little stuffy but man the actual course rocks! Make sure you play!

Good course

After playing eight rounds on 8 courses in 6 days in Vegas I can say this was a positive golf experience. Played blue tees and there where several challenges to take on. Course layout and surroundings are nice. Greens where good. My only disappointment was that we wanted to eat after the round and that was not recommended so we had to go elsewhere. But I will go back, The course have many bunkers so you need to have your sand play in place.

Call before you go!

My wife and I were in Vegas for the week. She played 3 courses with me and I played 2 more on my own. 2 average courses and 3 upscale. We belong to a club at home that is a TPC course. Upscale courses played were Arroyo, TPC Summerlin and Bears Best. The 2 average courses were Primm Valley and Mountain Falls. Rates on the green fees are $45-$70. TPC Summerlin is private, Bears best is $130 rack and Arroyo is $150 rack, which is why I called those 3 upscale. Summerlin and Bears Best were in excellent to pristine condition as expected. Mountain Falls was in excellent condition and Primm Valley was in good condition (new company took over, half the course has been redone and they are still working on the other half, very satisfied with experience).

Arroyo at Red Rock was a HUGE disappointment.

#1. They are in the middle of reseeding with a cross cut method instead of the usual hole aeration. I would never take a star off for this since every course must do this at least once if not twice a year. BUT, I am tired of courses not notifying golfnow of aeration. There is NO EXCUSE for this, PERIOD! If I am booking a tee time, I should not have to call the course and double check the conditions, you should notify golfnow so we are aware.

#2. The rest of the course was average at best. Range was horrible…weeds growing in the sandtraps…bare spots on the greens. This is not the condition of a $150 golf course. I booked a hot deal for $88 each, quit after 9 and called golfnow asking for a credit, they could not be more helpful.

The staff could not be any nicer…the head pro was very polite, but told me that he did not think the course was in that bad a shape...I respectfully disagreed. Golfnow called the head pro and he said that nobody else complained…well, that is outright lie, I am sorry. I specifically heard 3 groups on the range saying this was the worst condition they have ever seen a range in. On our way out, there was another group coming off that was complaining to the cart guys that this course needs help badly, and the cart guys agreed…I am not exaggerating…I am not one of those people that complains about 3 blades of grass out of place.

If your in the middle of maintenance, I completely understand…but ADMIT IT! If I would have paid $150 to play there last week, I would have demanded a refund. Very disappointing course on my vacation.

2 stars for the layout and views.

Great Views!

Course winds through the hills & gullies of the western LV suburbs with Red Rocks as a backdrop. It was very challenging with many elevation changes. Very pretty course! Course had been over-seeded, but kind of spotty so you had to move your ball to hit off new grass. The bunkers were very difficult. They were like soft concrete with a little sand sprinkled on top (seems weird not to have sand in the desert). Other than that it was a very enjoyable round. (We finished at rush hour & were staying in Lake Las Vegas so traffic across the city was bad)

Nice course - poor visual sightlines

The course was in good shape and was a fair and forgiving course design but the fairways were hard to see because of vegetation grown up between the tee and the fairway. It was as if the course was designed with no consideration of the impacts of the vegetation, or the course’s green keepers have a differing views from the initial design: Over half the holes seemed like blind shots. It would be fine for repeat players but hard for first time or occasional players.

Great course - but a little overpriced

We loved the course, people were great.

Sand traps need work, they were extremely hard.

For $160, there are courses of equal or better for significantly less money. Spanish Trails, Revere - both courses to name a few.

Slow round, no Marshall herding

Green was less than desirable, perhaps it's because of summer. Pace was terrible and nobody in sight to speed things up. Played here many time but sadly disappointed this time.

Arroyo

The course is a good track, with plenty of elevation changes and a good variety of holes.

There is quite a distance between some of the holes, but the directions were clearly marked.

This course does not over-seed, but instead they aerate heavily. There were large dry areas with almost no grass, and the rest of the fairways were quite thin. The rough was not too deep.

The greens were in good shape and putted true, but slower than the practice green.

The driving range was closed, which we didn't know until we arrived.

Nice course but disappointing conditions

This is a good layout and very scenic. Good variety of holes and different shot requirements. It was also very playable for my wife, with forward tees that gave her a chance to enjoy her round.

Problem was the conditions for the price. Greens were mostly pretty good but noticeable amounts of weeds on some, which easily knocked putts off line. More importantly - they had grooved the fairways, apparently prepping to overseed. Plus there were a significant number of areas where the fairways were brown, with little grass. I certainly understand that courses have to do maintenance, but do the right thing and either knock the price down or at the very least inform me so I have the option to change.
