Going to Vegas

[Jeremie Boop]

So, the week of November 16 I'm going to Vegas for the first time ever. While there I'm hoping to get in at least a few rounds of golf as long as the weather cooperates. So, I'd like to know if anyone has any recommendations for places to go. Please try to keep the cost for the rounds reasonable for someone who doesn't make tons of money. I will be playing at least one round on the course where my Aunt lives, I believe it's called SouthShore Golf club and that's going to end up being pretty expensive for me. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to suggest! Thanks in advance.

I was in Vegas during June this year.

I stayed 3 nights and played at Painted Desert and the Paillute Wolf Course,both courses were reasonably priced,around 70 bucks I think.

Paillute has another two courses which also look very nice.

I stayed at the New York New York hotel,Paillute was about 45 min drive and Painted desert was about 30 min drive.

Both courses were easy to find and I booked both tee times online.

Cheers.

I second the Paiute golf courses. Great courses. Also, Bears Best has good views. Badlands is a fun course. And in Henderson is the Revere, two courses, Lexington probably the nicest of the two. Lots of choices. For deals look at groupgolfer and dealcaddy.com. I've gotten decent deals through them. Good luck!

All the Pauite courses are great,  I also played Rhodes Ranch or desert pines once and found them both very enjoyable.  Bali High is gorgeous but IMO not worth the money.  Lot of pretty courses in vegas with the mountains in the background and lots of desert

Not great, didn't get to golf much. Played the Taylormade Experience 9 hole par 3 course, 9 over there. I also played Palm Valley at Summerlin, I had 3 esc holes there and didn't even finish the last hole. Even with ESC I still shot 94 on a 69/119 course. I just had some trouble off the tee and couldn't putt worth a damn. I did not get to play my Aunt's private course as she was too busy with work, but from what I understand that course is pretty penal in that there is a lot of OB close to the fairway. To be fair though, I had some really nice shots and once I got my tee shots under control I played pretty much to my handicap.

I think I played that Taylormade Experience par 3 course on fly-in day a few years ago.    Good warm up.   Any time we can play to our hcp on an unfamiliar course is a good day ... nice !

It is a bit of a trek, but if you can make it out to Mesquite (about 90 Minutes N of Vegas), Wolf Creek is incredible.
