Summer is actually not bad, but SERIOUSLY you have to get a tee time before 8 AM!
Lake las vegas is home of Reflection Bay and a few others...GOOD stuff!

Not too much out here people don't know about. BUT, take a look at the following courses on their internet sites. Some really cool stuff.

1. Bears Best. Jack's favorite holes, west of the Mississipi-perfect condition 2. Rio Secco. Home of Butch Harmons golf school, but great track without it. 3. Paiute - 3 Pete Dye courses on a reservation - beautiful condition 4. Tuscany - a very nice "locals" course-aka tuscany hills 5. Dragon Ridge CC - kind of semi-private - but cool 6. Wolf Creek - 70minutes north of Vegas in Mesquite-tons of elevation chg That will give you a few to do. If we stray too far from the good ones, you may not like what you get. Angel Park is poor compared to any of the above. Lake Las Vegas is nice, but I would play any of these as cheaper alternatives. Have Fun!

If I may add a few others....
Primm Valley has 2 great courses (though I have not played, have heard great!) about 30 minutes South.
Black Mountain is my home course: surprisingly tough, when rough is in full bloom, is deep. Also 27 holes.
Revere @ Anthem I played a few years ago- was very nice.

If it's not too far for you, Williamsburg, VA is a great place for a golf vacation.

I can confirm that recommendation. There are a ton of great public courses in the Williamsburg area, Kingsmill, the Golden Horseshoe, Stonehouse, Royal New Kent, Kiskiak just to name a few.

Yes of course, Myrtle Beach always has plenty or offer as well. Enjoy the trip wherever you decide to go.

I would highly reccomend Las Vegas Golf Club, it is a true local's secret...especially in the summer when they paint the greens, green.

I also like Siena (lot's of bunkers) and Silverstone (some seriously long par 5's, in fact they have the longest par 5 in NV). You could also always shell out the $500+ to play Shadow Creek!

Daytona Beach is pretty awesome...went there last spring and they have a ton of courses at a ton of different rates..played one round of 18 for $27 with a cart! Let me know if you want any info on it, because I have a Daytona Beach Area Golf Guide.

Take care,
Ryan

Another spot to consider is Kiawah Island . I went there a few years back. They have five courses of varying difficulty -- including Pete Dye's Ocean Course, host to the '91 Ryder Cup. More of a family spot than not, and it lacks some of the "activities" Vegas offers. Charleston is just under an hour away by car.

Last time I was in Scottsdale, I played the Monument course at Troon North. It's another course they play (used to play?) on tour, you can play it in video games and it's nowhere near as punishing as the Ocean course. It is, however, just as expensive :)
Cleveland - HiBore XL (9.5* Fuji Fit-On Gold Stiff)
Bobby Jones/Jesse Ortiz - 3W & 21* H3 (Stock Stiff)
Ben Hogan - Apex FTX 4-FW (Apex 4 shafts)
TaylorMade - rac TP 56.12 satin & 60.6 black
Scotty Cameron - Mil-Spec Newport 2 (33" standard)

This March my brother and I went to Kentucky Dams area on a golf package. We got 2 days in our own cabin with kitchen, 2 huge buffet breakfasts, 2 huge buffet suppers, 2 18-hole rounds of golf with a cart all for $180 each. And the prices were so cheap we golfed another 18 and a 9 besides. Can't beat it if you're on a budget.

I think that would be Myrtle Beach.

    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
