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.

+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.

    • When I'm winding down and need to clear my head, spider solitaire online is my go-to—it's surprisingly soothing and helps me focus. If you're up for exploring more games, Gloomhaven offers an epic adventure with its campaign-style gameplay and deep tactical choices. Azul is perfect for its beautiful design and engaging tile-drafting mechanics. It's great to see board games evolving with such diverse themes and mechanics.
    • I voted "Decent Weather Golfer". I was going to describe my general rules...but then @saevel25 did it for me so I'll just copy his, with one addition: Temp: Above 45 degrees (pending wind at the low end).  Below 90 degrees. Weather: On and off rain, I am ok. I may not go out by myself, but I am not skipping a tee time if the weather is just meh. T-storms, or torrential downpour, then it will be a game time decision. Snow is out. I will never play golf when it is that cold out.   
    • Ok, I didn't read the question at all, lol. So, to answer this thread correctly.  Temp: Above 45 degrees (pending wind at the low end). Weather: On and off rain, I am ok. I may not go out by myself, but I am not skipping a tee time if the weather is just meh. T-storms, or torrential downpour, then it will be a game time decision. Snow is out. I will never play golf when it is that cold out.  The closest one might be "All Weather" then ;). 
    • All weather, but very rarely if it’s pouring. Some rain is fine. Wind is a more no-go than rain. Especially wind and rain. I’d rather play in cool light drizzle than 80° F+ and sunny. My body is not designed for hot weather. My perfect conditions are 60-70° F and cloud cover. If it’s a bit nippy I can wear more clothes. I can only remove so much clothes if it’s 75+ and still get too hot. Warm and cloudy can work too.
    • Yeah it was a dicks Black Friday deal. But you had to buy the 96. Pack
