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).

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 ?


There are few decent courses out there.
I played Badlandds which I liked and I played
Paiute - Wolf Course, but that is pretty far away.
Going there myself next weekend but word is most courses are aerating around this time. Might want to check on this if this matters to you.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
