Las Vegs Golf

VHB GOLF LIST

What follows is my own list of 5, 4, and 3 star courses for folks to consider when coming to LV to play golf.

5-Star

Wolfcreek in Mesquite, This one is a jewel and fees run as high as $350 pp

Bali Hai right by Mandalay Bay on the strip. Very pricey around $300

Wynn, only for guest to the tune of $500, and it is not that nice IMO .

Braers Best is very good for $250

Royal Link # $275

TPC Canyons @ $269+

Wolf Creek At Mesquite is as jewel for about $275

Dropping down a notch to 4-Star is some good value

Badlands

Boulder Creek

Paiute Snow

Paiute Sun

Paiute Wolf

Red Rock

Prim Valley

Rio Secco.

All of these will fill you challenge level and price books

Las Vegs Golf

i would put cascata on the 5 star

Las Vegs Golf

You don%26#39;t goto Vegas to play golf-

Your better off playing at

Pebble Beach

Oregon Coast

Myrtle Beach

Kiawah Island- Ocean Course (Charleston Area)

TPC- Sawgrass in JAcksonville

Phoenix/Scottsdale Area

Pinehurst

Any of the courses in the British Open rotation.

Better value on the dollar, plus more historically rated courses.

I have played golf at a lot of the courses mentioned above along with some others that I really liked;

Rhodes Ranch

The Revere Courses

Desert Pines

Sienna

Silverstone

The Stallion

Casa Blanca - Mesquite

as an 18hcp, all of these courses were enjoyable and I feel reasonably priced.

I have played in other ';Golf Meccas'; such as Palm Desert, Scotsdale, Myrtle Beach, Oregon Coast, Central Oregon, The courses in Vegas stack up with any of these locales. I work at a golf course and hear a lot about different courses.

Would Love to Play Wolf Creek just haven%26#39;t gotten a roundtuit.

The Only course I%26#39;ve played in Vegas that I didn%26#39;t enjoy was Badlands, It kicked my Buttom.

VHB no more ';Local Experts'; in the Vegas Forum?

Be in Vegas tonite.

jimimac, I resigned my LE tag because there has been a serious illness in my family and I have to resume my position in my company and do not have much time for the forum. So I occasionally drop in and pick and choose topics to participate in.

Yes Badlands will eat a high-handicappers lunch that is why I like to play money games there. However desert target golf is unique to the desert southwest and very challenging.

The above list is just a sample of what I think is the best in the area and by no means comprehensive, just good value.

Some corrections and additions:

Bear%26#39;s Best

Reflection Bay

Silver Stone

Places to avoid at all cost:

Black Mountain

Las Vegas Golf Club

Boulder City

Desert Rose

Calaway

For value and very good quality any of the Paiute or Boulder Creek courses are excellent. For far less then $200 (even down to $100 depending on time of year, time of day, and week) you can play world class courses at those 5 courses.

Clemson, even though there are less expensive places to play, It is almost impossible to get to places like Monterey, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, etc as inexpensively as LV, Not to mention how inexpensive it is to stay in LV with blinding choices of places to stay, eat, and things to do besides golf. You are free to say what you want, not many are buying it, and I dare you to get a tee-time at Pebble Beach if you are a nobody with less than a year advance reservations.

It%26#39;s always good to hear from you.

I hope %26amp; pray things on the home front are going better.

It is much cheaper to play at Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach than Vegas. Plus the courses have more hystorical value than the Vegas courses.

Vegashomeboy- you are the one who thought Kiawah Island the OCean course is in Hiawai- that came from a previous post. I have played all along thge east coast and the Phoenix area and you get much better value for your money as well as the quality of course is ranked higher than those which appear on your list. I would not bring my knowledge of courses into question.

VHB...

Thanks FOR THE INFO

after all this is Vegas forum

We will try PAIUTE...

VHB,

I have never seen Wolf creek at $350 pp. I have seen $180, but not $350. When have you seen them charge that much?

If someone wants a better deal at wolf creek, take one of their earliest twilight rates (around $105-120 pp). Be aware that it gets dark very early in Mesquite, as it is just on the eastern edge of the PST zone.

Clemson,

I have also played a little at Hilton Head and MB. MB is cheaper, but I still think Vegas courses stack up very, very well.
