Red Rock Resort

I showed up about 75 min early to relax and have a proper warm up. I wasn't allowed to go to the range until I had a cart and I was not given one until 20 min before my tee time. When I asked how to get to the range I was told that I wouldn't have enough time. I asked if ter times were pushed back since they had a shortage of carts and they said no. I went to the range anyway for about 5 min to warm up anyway. I asked a guy driving a cart full of people to the range where to go to get to the first tee. He rudely asked me "haven't you been here before?" I told him it's been a year but I don't remember every 1st tee box to every course I play. Also even if it was my 10th time and I still don't know, why wouldn't you just tell me?

On top of all of this, I get to the first tee box and tee times are backed up and we tee off 15 min after our time. It took 4hrs45min to finish the round. Absolutely terrible experience. For the money I'd rather play Bears Best or Rhodes Ranch or Reflection Bay. I'd suggest going there instead.

Greens were very slow, recently plugged but was not notified of that. Also a few tee boxes need some attention

Where do I start?

- Why is the starter on the range so insistent on pushing groups to start 20 min before the tee time. Same dude, always pushing us out as soon as we step foot on the range

- Start on Hole 7 which is a par 3

- Tee boxes are tiny

- The turn isn’t really a thing here since you start on 7

- They gave us a ranger cart bc the iPad which gives you the distances was taken out. We didn’t realize this until we teed off

I mean the scenery is nice since you’re on top of the mountains, but this place is weird.

The greens were nearly unplayable , 5 hour pace , tea boxes resembled on deck circles on a baseball field . Not my favorite day of golf for sure .

There is a lot to like about Arroyo at Red Rock. An Arnold Palmer designed course is always well built, has nice drainage, and good sight lines. Staff is friendly, food and clubhouse is great.

What I don't get, and really don't like, is the over-reliance on growing the rough out on a lot of the holes. Wholesale swaths of rough grown across fairways on Par 5s, in ordert to do what? Toughen it up? Confound the player? Concentrate the play into smnaller areas making for more and more divots? It is thick, long, wiry and very difficult to manage for average and/or older players.

Rough is great in order to keep a golf bal ON the golf course; so have it on the edges of holes in housing areas like Arroyo. But its overdone.

Arroyo course and staff are to be commended for the rebuild of most bunkers and greens complexes. Really nice job. Now, let us play golf on holes 4,5,8,10,11,16,17 and 18- where you have too much rough and not enough fairway cut.

Since I golfed with a family member who lives in the Vegas area and has a players card, got the local rate, which was a great deal. Otherwise, the value here for a non-resident is average at best. The conditions were fairly good for the time of year, although a few tee boxes were in bad shape. The layout is fun and not overly challenging. Overall would give Arroyo a B- rating and recommend.

30 minutes delay due to the carts are not charged. The crews told us that they will take to the range facility, but they never did. Also they said that is is on time but it was delayed 30 minutes so we could play only 16 holes as it started dark. Very disappointed and never will come back.

Great layout, pace of play as 4 1/2 hours. Greens are immaculate and fast running @11. Will definitely play here again

T box are not green but flat and good to start from. Fairways are great condition. Greens are inconsistent speed but ok. Setting is beautifully. Very long buggy travel time. Pace of play was held up by people with no etiquette. Calling on their phone. Slow playing. 10 practice swings. Practice putting before going next hole etc. I did not like to be confronted on a hole by some charity selling point of st. John hospital woman asking for money and talking about poor kids trying to get on my consciousness while playing golf to get away from all of it. I would recommend and like to play again here for sure.
