| - Another golf course I've been coming to since I moved here in '93. Unfortunately, this golf course has seen better days. It's run down and quickly becoming one of my least favorite golf courses in Vegas. Here's why:
PROS
- Large practice facility w/lights. They renovated their driving range a couple of years ago and added a lot more practice mats and an area for their school. The lights are a huge plus because you can go there at night. Info on costs:
Small Basket (25 Balls) $3
Medium Basket (55 Balls) $6
Large Basket (100 Balls) $10
- The Par 3 course. Besides the two 18 hole standard golf courses (Palm/Mountain), there is a Par 3 course that has lights and you can play golf at night. They have golf leagues that you can participate in on some nights.
- Putting course. There's also a small putting course....great for kids. It's on real grass and not like those putt-putt fake courses with windmills....this is more similar to a real putting green.
- Convenient location. It's across the street from the Suncoast and Rampart casinos.....off the Summerlin Pkwy & Rampart exit.
- Annual golf discount card. You can purchase a discount card which is good for the year and comes with free rounds, practice time, and tournament entries....plus discounts off of green fees.
CONS
- The greens are terrible. This golf course doesn't keep their greens in good shape. 9 times out of 10, it's in horrible condition. A large factor is that they run so many people through the golf course and many of them are rookies who never played the game and have no respect or course etiquette....which leads me to.....
- This course is full of newbies and rude players. For some reason they are attracted to this course....maybe it's because of the annual golf discount card that you can get that comes with free rounds and discounted green fees.....whatever it is, people ruin the greens with their spikes or fail to fix their ball marks....both of which contribute to terrible green conditions.
- They jam in too many people on the tee times. They overbook this course.....on busy days, you'll be waiting on tee boxes and getting hit into because the course is so damn crowded. They pack people in like sardines. It's agonizing playing on those days....I avoid like the plague.
Overall, I've lost interest in playing here.....however, The Better Half and my Son enjoy it because of the Par 3 course and the large range. We come here often to practice and once or twice a year I will play a round here because a buddy of mine will insist on it.....played here last month, blech....but as they say, "A bad day of golf beats a good day without golf"...ha!
Will I return? Despite the 2 Star rating, I know I'll be back.
