We made a tee time, through Club Corp, at 8am on a Friday morning. Do you know how hard it is to get up in Vegas at 6:30am?! Well, we got there and noticed a lot of women .... A LOT. When we went to the pro shop to check in, they apologized and said they were having a member-guest tournament -- women only. WHAT?!
Well, it turned out that Club Corp didn't know that Canyon Gate was hosting a tournament. The golf pro (who apologized profusely, even though it wasn't CG's fault) told us that he couldn't get us on for at least 3 hours. We had plans at 1:30, back at Caesar's, for a lunch that we couldn't miss. We went up to the restaurant, which was closed, and the general manager came up to talk with us. Chris apologized, made us bloody mary's and he also had the cook make us breakfast (the bar and kitchen were both not opening for another hour). Another group of 3 guys came in (who flew all the way from Cleveland!) and said they were scheduled to play at 8am as well. Needless to say, Chris made his fair share of bloody's that morning!! :) He also worked his magic and when the ladies made the turn, he put us on hole 10 at 9:20am. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of, even though it wasn't his or Canyon Gate's fault!
The course was beautiful. It is maintained very well and the landscaping is phenomenal. I had not played this course before and I can say it gave me a few different challenges. Some of the pins were placed at tough angles and that made for a few amazing double bogeys!! :)
I'll definitely be back again ... but I'll call Canyon Gate to confirm my tee time so I don't have to start my round with 3 bloody mary's before the first hole! :)
