Attended a Golf outing in support of the 100 Academy here in the Valley sponsored by the 100 Black Men organization. Before I get to far into the day and the course let me start by saying I met Spenser Haywood. For those that don't know who he is he is an NBA legend who played from 1969 - 1983 (from the time I was 1 until I was 15). The man won a championship, a ton of awards and played on the 1968 Gold Medal team (which was before I was born). It was really an honor and pleasure to have had a chance to meet a living legend.
Ok now about the course. Listen I am a marginal golfer 100+ so in theory beyond knowing how to strike the ball 80% of the time my golf skills end about there but I love this silly game and enjoy time on a course so I play whenever I can! LV National was a very nice course to play and for its age it is well maintained. The holes are pretty straightforward with a few challenges but nothing outrageous. No extreme dog legs, or big hazard shots but there are some suddle traps so you have to have a little game to shoot in the 80's...which I have never shot anything better than a 92 :(
Although this is an old course I think it is still a good course to play. I'm not certain what the greens fees are as I was here because of an outing but if they charge below $75 during prime time and $30 or below at off peak time it is well worth it.
Also check out the history in the place. It has a long standing legacy of hosting all the old school pros at one time or another as well as the big entertainers who came through Vegas. I was told before TPC was built this was the PGA course in town. Its an old Arnold Palmer designed course and Tiger Woods even played here in his younger days.
I would definitely say I would come back here and if I got a coupon for a good deal I'd come back immediately!
