"2013-05-07T00:00:00"^^ . . "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. \n\nOk 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 :(\n\nAlthough 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. \n\nAlso 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. \n\nI would definitely say I would come back here and if I got a coupon for a good deal I'd come back immediately!"^^ .
