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.

Scots.

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

howd you do ?

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
