Viva Las Vegas!

A few of us have decided to make a quick trip to Vegas for the opening weekend of NFL and are trying to find time to play some golf.  None of us have played in Vegas, so I'm asking for suggestions.  I've heard drive out towards Lake Meade, but we are going to be on a time crunch.  I'm trying to stay pretty close and one that isn't a turd.

Thanks in advance.

There truly are so many great courses out in Vegas you can't go wrong... Depending on how much you want to spend determines where you should go and play!

+1, It's been several years since I've been to Vegas and I'm sure there are probably some new courses, but all the one's I've played were outstanding. There are several courses in the "strip" area but some of those are restricted to guest of the respected resort. Most are in the surrounding area. Henderson, NV is only a short drive and there several great courses there. A little further up the road toward the St. George, UT are you'll find some great courses as well, Wolf Creek and Entrada at Snow Canyon are just a couple.

Just pick one and play, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. The year I played Wolf Creek it was August and it was HOT, so hot, the course only had one tee time. They did a shotgun start at 7am followed by a lunch in the clubhouse, just way too hot to be playing in the afternoon.

I would never play golf in vegas without going to Wolf Creek - its an hour north.     Totally 100% worth the ride - you HAVE to play Wolf Creek in vegas - nothing else compares (I played Rio Secco, which is Butch Harmons course - not even close to Wolf Creek).

Here's a link to a list of my favorite Vegas courses with photos.

The Wolf Creek, in Mesquite is worth the drive.   Close by in Henderson is Tuscany , a little farther south Boulder city is real nice.  The last two are very reasonably priced.  Both courses at Primm Valley are real nice as is the Chase at Coyote Springs.  I also like the TPC course

What about the Summerlin area ?
