Arroyo Golf Club
About
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."

View from 16th Tee Photo submitted by BigBird22 on 04/07/2014
Beautiful course, but driving to a few of the holes was confusing.
Enjoyable Golf Course
This was a very good value on Golf Now. The course is very nice and really clean in a gated community. The views and condition of the grounds created a great atmosphere for a memorable round of golf. The tee boxes and fairways were in great condition for a desert style course. The greens had been recently punched and sanded and were a little slow but still rolled true. It was challenging but not extremely difficult if you played from the appropriate tee boxes for your skill level. The water, desert landscaping if you missed the fairway and numerous sand traps made the course a good challenge. The staff was very friendly and courteous at every stage of my visit. I would recommend this course when you visit Vegas and will definitely play there again.
Long drives between holes
An otherwise very good course cut up with exceptionally long distances between holes - in some cases it took longer to drive between holes than to play them. Course was I good shape, we'll maintained and the layout of fairways and greens provided a good challenge.
Great course
I have nothing to say bad about this course. It was a gen of a layout and the foundations were good. A few fairways were burnt up from the desert weather but the greens were great.
Nice course
This was an enjoyable course to play. Its is set inside a housing development up against the Red Rock Canyons/Mountains west of downtown Las Vegas. I more enjoyed the 12 holes from the original Arnold Palmer design.(apparently the first 6 holes were added when a second course was added at this facility). There is a long drive to the first hole and then from the 6th to 7th holes so you definitely need to ride. It is very playable with varying degrees of challenge so you can select the level that fits your game. Overall I enjoyed my round even though it was quite hot that afternoon.
Public course at Red Rock
I accidentally checked in at the Private Golf Club at Red Rock and was politely given directions to the public course a short distance away.
The public course at Red Rock that I played was a good golf course can't imagine how much better the private club course can be. Enjoyed the course!
Slow Play
We were a three-some on a busy morning. The pace of play was extremely slow. We ended up quitting after 7 holes - as we were easily headed for a 5+ hour round. It was really hot and we ran out of water - never saw the refreshment cart. Also, we played the arroyo - not the mountain course. This is not the first time that we have experienced slow play on this course.
Beautiful conditions
The course was in fantastic condition, which for me is 90% of any golf experience. Well designed for a neighborhood-routed course. Definitely recommend during your tour of Las Vegas courses. Clubhouse and off-course service and amenities were functional. We had to start our round on a weird hole, like 8, which was annoying -- got lost going back to the clubhouse after the round and the stop/start front/back/front threw off the pace of the round.
One Word to describe "Unbelievable"
This course is truly "Unbelievable". Course was in such immaculate shape. Greens rolled true. Fairways were lush green. The first few holes were very challenging. You have to hit the ball long and in play. Bunkers are strategically placed so tee shots have to be accurate. Every hole seemed cut out of a magazine. The rough was so evenly cut, that you had decent still a decent shot onto the green. Every hole I played, I was simply amazed on how beautiful it was. The most memorable hole was a 190 yard par 3 with a 30 foot drop in elevation (all carry). And in the background was the Strip. I would surely revisit this course on my next trip back to Vegas.
4 Star Course
Pros: Excellent condition of the fairways, greens and bunkers.
Cons: The holes tend to look the same as it seems like every hole is lined on both sides by big expensive homes.
Great Course!
For the price, under $70 for a Sunday morning, you can't go wrong with this course. Course was in great condition. Staff was very friendly. Greens are fast. Fun course to play. Would highly recommend.
Great Course
First time playing this track - course was in great shape, service was top notch and . I would definitely recommend this course if you find yourself in Vegas
Great course with some challenging holes
The is a great course to play if you're on travel and wish to get a quick 18 in. Great pace of play and although not a long course to play it certainly does have some challenging holes that make you want to come back and give it a second shot!
Fair
Im sure the course is a nice one when in season but there were rocks and weeds in the bunkers. Some were hard as rock and some were ok. I was alone behind a foursome for 6 holes and they wouldn't let me thru. No rangers around to tell. The range is about 600 yards away from the clubhouse. I would play it again and give it a chance.
Great course
Living in Vegas now for a year and have played many courses. Play 3 to 4 times a week, this track is awesome, challenging and offers many tee box options for all handicaps. Stunning visuals from the Gold tees. I'll be playing this course a lot more.
Not as bad as previously reviewed
I was skeptical about my round after reading about pace of play and staff interaction. We finished in under 4 hours and if anything held up a twosome behind us. Staff was somewhat cynical but being from Boston it hit my wheelhouse. 19th hole is a little small but the food was good and Gina was on the ball. Course layout takes you through several neighborhoods with some long drives between holes.
Great course for the right amount
The course has a friendly layout. If you can get it for a decent price then I would highly recommend it. We paid 78 for 2 players with cart. I don't think I'd pay more. The one disappointment was the range , hitting off mats and the range balls were terrible. The balls were very old and scuffed up so baldly they wouldn't fly properly. No water was on the course for drinking so bring some yourself.
Course marshals were non existent.
Played 18 in just short of 5-1/2 hours. Group ahead was too busy drinking and chasing errant balls. Would not play ready golf. Would not acknowledge our request to play through. Never had contact with a marshal to say anything. Just venting, but the course however was in great shape. Will be back.
Enjoyed the experience!
My wife and I enjoyed everything about Arroyo. The pro shop and other staff were friendly and helpful. The practice facility was very nice, spacious, range balls in new condition, complete with chipping area. The course layout was fun and easy to follow for a first-timer with few surprise hazards. The fairways were in great shape and while the greens had some invading species they were smooth and true. We played as a twosome so expected to wait, but still played in a little over 4 hours. We have to leave Las Vegas soon and I wish we had discovered this course earlier. We'd love to play it again.
Nice Golf Course out of Las Vegas
Very different holes, like a spanish golf course between villas. The restaurant is not very impressive, but the staff is excellent. There was a tournment in front of us and we had never to wait.
