Don't even read this unless you have $500 to spend on a round of golf. Not sure golf is ever worth that, but this is a very special course. It's a Rees Jones design, was originally opened as an exclusive private course, but opened up to the public, and is affiliated with Harrah's. The course measures 7137 yards and 143 slope from the tips, and has been dubbed "The Eighth Wonder of the golf world" due to it's construction. The customer service is way over the top, but for this price you have pretty high expectations when you enter the massive Italian style clubhouse. Conditioning is pristine here and the greens are slick and undulating. The course is located toward Boulder City south of Henderson, and maybe 30 minutes from the Strip. The course is routed through the Nevada desert canyons and hills, and you're either on lush green fairways with a ribbon of rough, then on natural desert rock and scrub. It has good elevation change, sugary white sand bunkers, and a number of water features in lakes or streams. A true pleasure to play in this oasis, and tops all other courses in Vegas by a long shot.

Now's the time to play, last week rates were half of what they were in season, and we played early so was only hot the last few holes. In great shape, terrific to play Flag Content
