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!

If you fancy leaving the States for a golfing trip, try South Africa, in particular the Southern Cape... there are some great courses there - on the US$ a trip would be a bargain...check out these places :

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 :)

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.
