My buddies and I are going to Vegas for March madness next year and are looking to play a round while we're out there. Having never been there before, does anyone have any suggestions of where to play, and how much it might cost? We're looking to spend under $200 each. Right now, the top courses we've found are Rio Secco and any of the three courses at the Paiute resort.

The three courses at Paiute are well worth playing and my favorites within 30 minutes of the strip.(Cascata, Shadow Creek and the Wynn are alos nice but cost $500) The Paiute courses are great fun layouts, beautiful setting, no houses, challenging bnuit won't mbeat you up, always well conditioned and not too expensive by Vegas Standards. I much prefer the Paiute courses to Rio Seco.

If you don't mind driving a little further, the two courses at Primm (about 45 minutes South of the Strip) are very good, or about the same distance North of the Strip is a new Nicklaus course called the Chase at Coyote Springs that is also excellent. If you don't mind driving an hour, Wolf Creek in Mesquite is a course you will never forget.

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.   
    • Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.

    • Day 22: played 18. Shot okay - 80 - but long game was bad. Saved by some good putting and short game.
