What's new in Golf in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:37:42 PST

Las Vegas Paiute Resort\'s mastermind in golf design, Pete Dye, is certainly known for designing and building world-class golf courses (i.e. TPC Sawgrass) and his legacy in Nevada is extraordinary.

My recent visit to Las Vegas Paiute Resort left me wondering what was new and reinventing about this place. My answer was nothing, and nothing is just fine when you\'re not a Las Vegas Strip Hotel. A 54-hole golf facility doesn\'t need reinventing and the fact that it is older and established is actually a benefit. The only thing you need to know about the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Club is that it is in pristine condition, the clubhouse is world-class, and it\'s like owning your own golf course for a day, more like three for that matter.

The Best of Lake Las Vegas

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:13:35 PST

When it comes time for me to prepare the featured golf course for each month, I reflect on some of the best experiences I\'ve personally had in that month in years past. November has been a special time at Lake Las Vegas Resort as it is the first full month where the golf courses are in prime shape from overseeding. As an added bonus, the Las Vegas weather is beautiful.

Top 6 reasons you should make Lake Las Vegas Resort a must visit and play in your lifetime:

The Golf. The Jack Nicklaus designed Reflection Bay Golf Club has been ranked in the top 100 you can play since it opened.

TPC Las Vegas is the Golf Course to Play

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:32:23 PDT

TPC Las Vegas has continued it\'s winning tradition in presenting some of the best golf course conditions found in the Southwest United States.

The golf course came out of overseed September 16. I played TPC Las Vegas September 29th and am here to tell you the process went very well (as always). The greens were perfect after the rest (two weeks off) and were very receptive holding almost every shot. The tees and fairways had not yet been mowed down to optimal playing conditions, but were in magnificent condition. The fairways will be mowed and stripped according to tournament conditions starting October 4th. This is great news for you if you\'re getting ready to come to L

Siena Golf Club Continues to Improve

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:08:20 PDT

Siena Golf Club creeped into the Las Vegas golf scene in 1999 with just the front nine and opened all 18 holes in 2000. Since that time, the community around Siena Golf Club has been built up, giving the golf course more definition. In addition, a 13,000 square foot clubhouse, desert features added to improve the aesthetics, a bit of yardage added to the 5th and 11th tees, and a redesign of hole #16, have only added positively to the golf experience. If you haven't seen it lately, you may not recognize the golf course. "It's not just lipstick on a pig, it's a prom dress on a beauty queen" says Bon Yuryk, a local golfer who plays Sien

Bears Best is The Best Bet for Golf in Las Vegas

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 06:31:04 PDT

No secret to the Las Vegas golf scene, Bear's Best Golf Club is a must-play for those who appreciate the finer golf courses available in the great city of Las Vegas. Once thought of by some as a hokey concept, this Jack Nicklaus creation has lived up to the quality of the Nicklaus name. Superior golf course conditions, speedy greens, and a little history in every hole help make this course what it is.

The Bear's Best concept came about in the late 1990's and currently there are two of these golf courses open for play; one in Atlanta and one in Las Vegas. There will be more as Dallas, Washington DC and Orlando are being considered as destina

Boulder Creek Golf Club Coyote Run

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 01:48:50 PDT

Of the three nine-hole layouts at Boulder Creek Golf Club, Desert Hawk is generally considered the best and most popular. I can\'t argue with that, but the more I play the Coyote Run layout, the more and more I like it.

Coyote Run starts out with a short par-4 dogleg right. There is a large lake bordering the right side and several fairway bunkers scattered down the middle of the fairway. It is not a long hole so you do not need to hit a driver. A well-placed tee shot should give you a short iron into the well guarded, elevated green.

Most of the holes on Coyote Run are like the first; water or desert hazard bordering the hole on one side and plenty of bunkers to avoid off the tee. The holes also have a risk/reward quality to them. There are a few

Silverstone Golf Club

Thu, 01 May 2008 06:38:15 PDT

With the $2,500,000 desert beautification project complete, Silverstone Golf Club has definitely taken it up a notch. Though the improvements did not include tees, fairways and greens (as there was no need), the visual definition of the golf course has greatly improved the golf experience.

Tee to green, Silverstone Golf Club has always been an enjoyable round of golf. The par 5\'s are long (like they should be), the par 4\'s are very playable and there is a wide array of par 3\'s to spice your round of golf up a bit, not to mention the 28th hole. Yes, a 28th hole dubbed "The Decider Hole" is a short par-3 located just behind the clubhouse there for yo

Bears Best Golf Course

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 08:02:27 PDT

The desert is not a typical climate for a bear, but the Golden Bear has felt very comfortable building golf courses in the desert environment of Las Vegas. Bear\'s Best Golf Club is a unique golf course built with replicas of holes Jack Nicklaus has previously designed. This is one of two such golf courses currently located in the United States.

Bear\'s Best was opened in 2001 and plays to well over 7,200 yards from the back tee. The wide fairways and fast greens have made this golf course one of the most popular among both locals and visitors to Las Vegas. There are a wide variety of holes on this golf course taken from 12 of his most popular desert golf courses. Jack

Arroyo Golf Course at Red Rock

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:20:17 PST

The last few months and over $300,000 dollars have been dedicated to improve the already wonderful Arroyo Course at Red Rock Country Club. This golf course, designed by Arnold Palmer and situated in the community of Summerlin, is a truly fun layout that has captivated golfers since it first opened. Thom Blinkinsop, General Manager at Red Rock, comments \" I think players will be very surprised at what we have done and how much tougher this golf course will play since we changed a few things.\" By March 1, 2008 the entire golf course will completely open and you will be pleasantly surprised at the changes you will find. Wide fairways and tough greens are the hallmark of this popular course. Arnold Palm

Tuscan Paradise at Siena Golf Club

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:40:54 PST

Siena Golf Club opened its doors back in 1999 and has quickly become one of the most enjoyable golf courses to play in Las Vegas. What makes Siena most unique to the desert, is the special type of grass utilized throughout the golf course that allows the golf course to skip the usual overseeding schedule.

Siena Golf Club offers a wonderful variety of golf holes, which makes it challenging, yet not so much that your day on the golf course leaves you frustrated and unsatis

Standard of Excellence at TPC Las Vegas

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:26:30 PST

In a city of bright lights, high action gaming, celebrity sightings and entertainment headlines, it's no wonder that PGA Tour owned - TPC Las Vegas would feel right at home as one of the top golf courses in Las Vegas.

Often described as "desert elegance" TPC Las Vegas offers dramatic contrasting views of Las Vegas with all its glamour, and surrounding mountains and desert canyons including views of the Red Rock Canyon. As the second golf course in Nevada, and at the time of it’s opening, TPC Las Vegas earned the distinction as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System.

The par 71, 7063-yard TPC Las Vegas offers a test of skills to golfers who wish to challenge their game. "Play where the Pr

Fun in the Sun at Rhodes Ranch

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 01:33:26 PST

Rhodes Ranch Golf Club is a traditional style golf course that provides a number of great risk/reward holes. Designed by Ted Robinson, this is a very player-friendly golf course but has some of the most difficult par-3's in Las Vegas. Recently Rhodes Ranch replaced all the putting surfaces and this has made a dramatic difference for the golf course.

Rhodes Ranch opened for play in 1997 and quickly became a favorite of local golfers. The style of the golf course is great to play every day or on the yearly visit to Las Vegas. Unlike like many golf courses in Las Vegas this is not target golf. There are desert areas but most of the golf course will resemble a typical country club anywher

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 10:22:58 PDT

Bear's Best Golf Club in Las Vegas is the first in a series of golf courses planned by Jack Nicklaus that replicates holes from his previous golf courses.

Siena Golf Club is a Great Choice for Golf in September

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 04:06:45 PDT

Siena Golf Club is a great choice for golf in Las Vegas during the month of September. They have great conditions, a challenging golf course and friendly staff.

Siena Golf Club is located in an age-restricted community in the Northwest section of Las Vegas. This facility is one of the few golf courses in Las Vegas that doesn't shut down for a prolonged period of time to overseed. This makes Siena a popular choice by golfers when planning to come out during the maintenance season. When Siena Golf Club was first built, course designers decided to use a special type of Rye grass to eliminate the need to overseed. This grass is very hearty and can survive in both hot and cold weathe

Badlands Golf Club

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 07:43:16 PDT

Can You Say "Mercy"?

One of the best ball strikers in the history of golf was Johnny Miller, the very man who designed the original courses at Badlands Golf Club with the third course designed by Chi Chi Rodriguez. Typical of his accurate ball striking Miller designed Badlands so that it rewards the most accurate of hitters. A challenging golf course yet not a very long course, in fact you will not need the driver very often, if at all. Take my word for it, Badlands is a true test of target desert golf no matter which combination of golf courses you choose to play.

The desert can be seen throughout the golf course, it runs along fairways, between fairways and right in the middle of fairways. The most important thing to

Silverstone Golf Course

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 10:40:46 PDT

I just had the opportunity to get out of the office and play some golf in a tournament out at Silverstone. I was pleasantly surprised at the appearance of the golf course when I arrived. The course looks great driving in and even better when you get out there. I really do enjoy playing out at Silverstone. They do a great job on the maintenance of the golf course and the greens are always in great shape. I am always surprised that considering how much play they get at Silverstone, the greens remain pure. You hit them on the line, and your ball will stay on it. You get a great mixture of holes at Silverstone that will reward you if you hit that perfect shot. One of my favorite holes at Silverstone is the third hole on the Mountain nine. It is a really long par 5 that plays over 600 yar
