So, the week of November 16 I'm going to Vegas for the first time ever. While there I'm hoping to get in at least a few rounds of golf as long as the weather cooperates. So, I'd like to know if anyone has any recommendations for places to go. Please try to keep the cost for the rounds reasonable for someone who doesn't make tons of money. I will be playing at least one round on the course where my Aunt lives, I believe it's called SouthShore Golf club and that's going to end up being pretty expensive for me. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to suggest! Thanks in advance.

I was in Vegas during June this year.

I stayed 3 nights and played at Painted Desert and the Paillute Wolf Course,both courses were reasonably priced,around 70 bucks I think.

Paillute has another two courses which also look very nice.

I stayed at the New York New York hotel,Paillute was about 45 min drive and Painted desert was about 30 min drive.

Both courses were easy to find and I booked both tee times online.

Cheers.

Scots.

I second the Paiute golf courses. Great courses. Also, Bears Best has good views. Badlands is a fun course. And in Henderson is the Revere, two courses, Lexington probably the nicest of the two. Lots of choices. For deals look at groupgolfer and dealcaddy.com. I've gotten decent deals through them. Good luck!

All the Pauite courses are great,  I also played Rhodes Ranch or desert pines once and found them both very enjoyable.  Bali High is gorgeous but IMO not worth the money.  Lot of pretty courses in vegas with the mountains in the background and lots of desert

howd you do ?

Not great, didn't get to golf much. Played the Taylormade Experience 9 hole par 3 course, 9 over there. I also played Palm Valley at Summerlin, I had 3 esc holes there and didn't even finish the last hole. Even with ESC I still shot 94 on a 69/119 course. I just had some trouble off the tee and couldn't putt worth a damn. I did not get to play my Aunt's private course as she was too busy with work, but from what I understand that course is pretty penal in that there is a lot of OB close to the fairway. To be fair though, I had some really nice shots and once I got my tee shots under control I played pretty much to my handicap.

I think I played that Taylormade Experience par 3 course on fly-in day a few years ago.    Good warm up.   Any time we can play to our hcp on an unfamiliar course is a good day ... nice !

It is a bit of a trek, but if you can make it out to Mesquite (about 90 Minutes N of Vegas), Wolf Creek is incredible.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
