Hello

I've seen a few members posting from Vegas and hope to get together some day.
I live in Summerlin and my home course is Siena; it includes the membership at Arroyo. I usually play twice a week - Wednesday and on weekends.

Please post here if you are interested in forming a local group or are looking for an extra player (I do not use Facebook).

Looking forward meeting you all.

Well, @mvmac is in Las Vegas, and obviously knows a lot of LV golfers, but also mostly plays at a TPC club, so… probably isn't exactly the type of golfer you're looking for as he's not going to play at a bunch of public courses, etc.

My in-laws live in Siena and we are there at least once a year. Would love to have someone to play with - I’ll let you know next time I’m there (likely late winter early spring). Played Bears Best and Rhodes Ranch last time I was there. Have only played Siena once.

I've blogged about my wanderings since 2003. I love roaming throughout the USA looking for remote public golf courses to play.

Chiming in here. Moved out here from chicago a few month ago and have yet to really explore more than a few courses. 
 

I’d be up for meeting other local golfers if the opportunity arises

So I’m seeing that you pretty much need to stay at an MGM hotel property in order to play Shadow Creek. I’m also seeing some options to book a hotel/golf package. I also know they strictly limit the number of players on the course. 

Does anyone know whether you have to book golf as a package or if you can book a room in any of their hotels (and shopping for the best deal), then book a tee time at the course (assuming availability given their limitations)?

Asking since, as a local, I don’t really need a hotel room and would just be getting one to get onto the course.

Pretty sure you just need your reservation (at MGM Resorts properties except luxor, excalibur, & I think nyny) number to book a round. I think winter/summer is $750 per round and fall/spring is $1000.

You can book a round without staying at the hotels. Often they have better green fee rates for local residents.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
