About Lake Las Vegas

Since the 2014 reopening of Reflection Bay golf course, this Henderson hotspot 20 miles from the Strip is an option for golfers. Original architect Jack Nicklaus returned to tweak a few things, removing bunkers and reshaping or moving others. The seventh green -- one of 18 now covered with T1 bentgrass -- was also extended closer to the edge of Lake Las Vegas. Golfers can pad their loyalty reward accounts by choosing the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa or the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa. The condominium suites of the Aston MonteLago Village Resort, a Tuscan-inspired village with a marina, shops and water sports, will serve a foursome or family needing more space and privacy. Between the three properties, there’s multiple restaurants, pools, spas, a beach on the lake at the Westin and a bonus – access to nearby SouthShore Country Club, a private Nicklaus design.

Bad greens

I can’t believe they charge $190 to play here. Greens were in rough shape, very blotchy. It looked like a fungus on the greens. Everything was painted green, no over-seeding. The fairways were dormant with green paint. I expected better conditions for March and $190.

Absolutely shocking golf course

I wouldn’t even pay $50 to play this course again. I have never played on a course with such bad greens and there was absolutely no sand in the bunkers. Fairways were okay at best. Overall just terrible conditions. Not sure how the managers are happy to charge 185 for this!

Rough shape

I said, I would not recommend this course to a friend only because of the winter conditions the greens were terrible. Dead spots and ball marks that did not get repaired. I understand it was January I believe this course should be great when the season comes but to pay that kind of money I did for those conditions was disappointing.

Reflection Bay disappointment

They lost the greens this year! For $215 a round you’d expect a top tier course, greens are 1 star right now! Rumor is they’re closing down soon to tear out and replace greens!

Wait until that’s done before spending money to play!

Great layout and location

The course is in a secluded lake setting. The staff and clubhouse is great. The course is challenging and spread out. My only complaint are the greens. A lot of dead grass blotches.

Fun but Rough Around the Edges

Reflection Bay is a Jack Nicklaus design in Henderson Nevada. It has many of the hallmarks of Nicklaus designs, which makes it very challenging. There are not many run-up areas so you will need to be able to hit greens through the air to play well.

The Greens at Reflection Bay were in horrible condition. The Pro shop staff told us it was because the overseed has not yet grown in. These were by far the worst greens we played on our trip to the Vegas area. To the credit of the golf course, they owned up to the condition of the greens and offered a discount.

The holes along Lake Las Vegas are the best holes on the golf course. I wish there had been more holes that played along the lake.

Overall Reflection Bay is fun to play once, but it's not something I would go way out of my way to play again.

Great course and very friendly staff!

Overall, the course is great with beautiful views, fairways and the staff are very friendly. The greens were not in great shape and made putting a bit challenging. I’d still go back without hesitation.

75 dollars for a round, with 15 dollar greens

The greens are in awful shape, which kind of overshadows the fact that the rest of the course is in decent shape. nobody in our group could get a ball to roll true all day, bumps, bare areas and lack of grass in general made putting very frustrating. The practice area green was in even worse shape than the greens on the course. The fairways and tee boxes were bearable but when my buddy told me about reflection bay and how nice the course was, I’m sorry to say I was very disappointed. What’s the point of having nice fairways and able to get the ball on the green, if the greens were completely barren. Them being in bad shape “because of the storm” is Bull. I’ve played at three other course around the city since the heavy rains, and they improved the condition of the grass, not diminished it. Honestly after my first experience, and probably last, I wish I would have spent 75 dollars elsewhere.

Greens improved from 2 days ago

My compliments to the greens keeper. I played 2 days ago and the greens were in terrible shape. I played it again and greens were much better. Still not what reflection bay rolls in the past but ill bet it will be back to their normal roll in a few weeks. Staff and fairways always top notch.

Greens in terrible condition.

Normally this is one of my top 5 places to play in Vegas. Fairways and greens are usually in great shape but this last round although the fairways were in excellent shape, the greens were the worst ive ever played on. I heard it was due to the storm. Unfortunately i prepaid for 3 rounds and forced to us all 3 before they expired this month.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

I had no idea what to expect when I booked a round for me and one of my customers at Reflections Bay. I was very pleasantly surprised. I love desert courses with water on them (for the scenery) and this one had a ton. It was both challenging and spectacular to look at.

Slowest round ever

First the staff was very friendly which seems to be the case at the course around LasVegas. When we checked in we were told they were real busy. With 10 minutes between tee times this did seem bad. By hole number two we were group three waiting to tee off on each hole. The round took 6:20 to play which is the longest round I have ever played. To make matters worse the cart girl must go home at 3 or 4 because we never saw her after hole 4. It was over 100 degrees so taking 5:20 to play with no cart service was not pleasant. I will not play here again.

On the bright side I scored below my handicap and the course was in decent shape except for the greens being really slow.

Practice facility & staff

For the price, would NOT recommend. There is a warm up area that provides no real feedback on what’s happening with your ball flight. Staff seemed annoyed they needed to bring a cart down for me…Overheard their sarcasm on the walkie-talkie and felt like me golfing was a burden.
