| - Was really excited to get a chance to play this course as I had always heard it was one of the more playable courses in Vegas. Played on a Friday afternoon in March. Nice looking clubhouse and easy access to the pro shop for checking in. Went out on time on the Mountain course. From the get go, it appeared that the course wasn't in the best of shape. Sure, the views are amazing. And the course is in between two hotels in the area-JW Marriott resort and the Suncoast Hotel and Casino. The fairways seemed to have an extraordinary amount of divots, even for a course that is played as much as this one. And I really like challenging greens if all of them are fairly consistent in difficulty, which includes pin placement. But these greens were in what I would call not-so-good shape. Most of them had sand on them. And pin placements were such that even if they greens were immaculate, they would be quite difficult for the average Joe. There were quite a few holes that were great challenges and we had fun playing them. We did have a good time, in spite of the aforementioned. I really liked the clubhouse and the pro shop. Having an extremely good looking woman at the counter didn't hurt, either!
I have to say, with all I had heard about this course prior to playing, I was disappointed. I know the locals rave about playing here. Maybe the other courses at Angel are better. I am sorry to say, with so many great golf courses throughout Las Vegas, next time I will pay a little more and play elsewhere.
