Hello fellow golfers. Traveling with father to Palm Springs in April , renting car in Long Beach Ca, driving to Palm Springs then onto Vegas. Can anyone suggest a course <100$ to play somewhere in between Long beach and Palm Springs? Also any suggestions for a Las Vegas Area course. I already Played Primm which was pretty nice but looking for a new track. Thanks

I just got back from Vegas a month ago, and $100 round of golf is pretty tough to find. I'd suggest

Angel Park , The Arroyo Golf Club at Red Rock , and Rhodes Ranch . If you want more expensive courses, they're every where in Vegas. I played at TPC Canyons which was a very fun course but a tad expensive at $220. Also any of the courses at Lake Las Vegas are fun and very scenic. Hope that helps

Try here... http://vegasgolfer.com/ then click the course guide link.

As far as between LB and PS I've played Oak Quarry http://www.oakquarry.com/ for $40 with cart which is one hell of a deal for this place.

I've yet to play this place http://www.scpgagolf.com/general/html/home.html but this is the PAT (Players Abilities Test) site for PGA pros in SoCal. I've driven past it a number of times on the way to Palm Springs and it looks phenominal, I've heard from friends and other people that it's great too.

This is Palm Spring's prime time of year. I don't think you'll find any courses that allow non-member play for under $100. But, I could be wrong.

Sinatra, I just saw this, sorry it took me so long. I am doing an article for this on my website soon and will do Vegas/Utah this summer. For inexpensive and terrific value, try the Revere at Anthem, Wolf Creek, The Falls, La Quinta Mtn and, if the price is right (go in low season and it plummets from $260 to $75)...PGA West Stadium Course. I also like the Red Rock Arroyo course Taylor Made mentioned.

This settles it . I must play this Wolf Creek course. Thank You

I've played Painted Desert, Wolf Creek (mesquite), Las Vegas Golf Club & Rio Secco (several times).

Painted Desert was cool. It was "resorty" if that is a word. It was a nice layout.

Las Vegas Golf Club is a muny. We played there and suddenly a great big rain storm came up. I mean BIG rains. Those a'holes wouldn't give us a rain check there. So I don't like them.

Rio Secco (home of Butch Harmon) is quite cool. A buddy of mine is (was perhaps now) a high roller at the Rio and we got several FREE rounds of golf there! Rio Secco is cool, but around 150-200 bucks.

Wolf Creek (in mesquite) nevada is amazing. It was made in the red rock desert and some of the holes are so extreme they had to fly in the tractors with helicopters. Some of the tee boxes have railings so you don't fall off a cliff and kill yourself. It is very scenic. It is also $200. The views are awesome but from a golf purist's standpoing it is a little like a circus. I just blogged a photo from there.

If you are going to Mesquite you can play at the Casa Blanca which should be under $100. That is a tough track. The "Oasis" is an Arnold Palmer track very close to Wolf Creek. It is very nice.

But if you want TRUE value, continue up I15 to another 30 minutes to St. George Utah. Look at the Courses: Sunbrook (27 holes), Greenspring, Coral Canyon, Entrada, Sky Mountain. Most are 40-80 bucks and every bit as cool as many $250 courses in vegas.

I've got a few new shots from St. George in my blog: http://hookedongolf.blogspot.com .

Have fun!

Thanks to your persuasive comments about Wolf Creek in Mesquite NV, we went a few weeks back and we loved it!

We also played Oak Quarry in Riverside CA

Thanks again!

Cool, what'd you think of Oak Quarry, particularly their signature par 3 in the quarry...

superb track... too bad I got to play it with 30mph winds

the par3 in question was downhill and it was a 9i if I remember correctly... wasn't a 180yds hole?

    • I agree on the four types of golfers. Being #4, a good practice student, is obviously my goal. My question is really about practice vs play and how do we separate them. You went into it a bit in the episode. But bad shots affect me and I feel I revert when that starts to happen. All three of you mentioned the “getting through the round” swing. Got that. But there was also talk of transition time when making swing changes. An example was sighted where a student was working on his swing path and it was working but he was pushing everything to the right. That indicated his path was better. I guess I would want coaching on that for when I play. Do I set up so I expect the push on every shot? I would have liked a little bit more discussion on that.
    • Except for "you could lose 30 pounds," (you're right) I'm curious to hear what y'all think of the podcast. Direct commentary is appreciated.
    • Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
