Like the title states, shooting high 40's on 9, and low 100's on 18..I don't want to go to a course and look like an idiot, but I do want to go have fun.

Any recommendations?

The Snow Mountain and Sun Mountain courses at the Paiute Reservation are two nice courses that are fairly forgiving for high handicappers. Play them from the front tees and don't use driver off the tee and you should have a great time at these beautiful courses

All I've played in Vegas is The Revere Concord. It was beautiful, but pricey.

If you are shooting high 40's and low 100's shouldn't your handicap be more like mine? I'm shooting around 46 - 49 on 9, and 98 to 103 on 18.

Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW

I think I did some wrong figuring somewhere, because yes, I think it should be about 10 points higher!

Angel Park has 3 different courses, the most "user-friendly" would be the Palms course. Big fairways, large greens, relatively flat course. It's always in pretty nice shape. They also have a Par 3 course, and an 18 hole miniature golf track that is made from real greens. Nice driving range too! The mini golf is a hoot, one of the holes is 70 yards! My buddy putted one into the lake, this is no putt putt! For the price of Bali Hai, you can play Angel Park 4-5 times. Another nice course nearby is The Legacy. It's a tad more challenging than AP, but not so difficult you want to hang yourself. If you do decide to play Las Prados, bring lots of balls and reread the "I broke a window" thread. It's a short course lined with houses on almost every fairway, leave the driver in the bag. It's priced right though and you will have fun there!

Who cares if you stink,go have fun.
Do you care if you look silly at the Black Jack table ?
Good suggestions above.
Several courses in and around Summerlin just west of town.
Badlands has a decent twilight rate and several Tee boxes to play from.

Paiute is very nice and has a great replay policy, so you can get 36 in (2 different courses) very easily. As mentioned, it's about a 30 min drive from the Strip. In the other direction, about 45 min south, are the Primm courses. They had some amazing deals this past summer. I am a high handicapper (100-110) and enjoyed both of these facilities very much. I also think Badlands is a terrific layout and not ridiculously expensive.

I wholeheartedly second Angel Park, it's 15-20 minutes drive from the strip, course is relatively well maintained, and it's a great value play.

    • He’s also the best anchoring putter there is!😏
    • And  he  has had alot  of  health issues as you expect  from someone still playing at  67
    • Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting. 
    • To still be winning tournaments at 67 is quite incredible. He must also be the youngest person to have shot his age or better by however many times he's done it. Amazing.
