Played Siena on Saturday Aug. 24. I was very impressed by the conditions of the course. Tee to green the course was nice. We did have about a 20 min delay from our Tee time, still the course played in about 4 hours on a sat morning.

The only issues i found with the course were the bunkers needing some work. some were soft and others hard as rock. several fairway bunkers on the first 3 holes had standing water in them.

The fairways were soft but in great shape with some areas beat up by the players not sanding divots. The rough was consistent at 2-3" and would stop any ball that found its way into it. The greens were a little furry but still not bad. They were soft and held most shots.

I enjoyed the day at Siena and it is a course i would definitely play again when visiting the Vegas area.

Playing Cascata on Friday Aug. 23rd was by far the most over the top golf experience I have ever had. From the excellent service by the entire staff, the great breakfast with some new friends, to the course it self. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with the GK Gurus at Cascata. The fantastic experience started in clubhouse and continued on to the practice facility. It was a little tough getting focused to play when there were long horn sheep on the driving range, Oh did I mention the waterfall from the top of the hill above the range down through the clubhouse. That being said perfect new balls and great turf made the warm up easy.

I don't have much to say as far as conditions because it was perfect tee to green. I would be really pressing to find any faults with this course. Flat tee boxes, smooth tight fairways, 1-2" rough,soft white sand, and fast true greens. The 4 Caddie KC was very knowledgeable of the course and his reads were spot on. He watched us practice and was good at helping with all parts of the game. Especially when he helped me make a nice 48' putt for birdie on 18 to get the "birdie chain" and a 40 to 1 bet from Matt( I used his money to by lunch).

Cascata should be a bucket list course for anyone who enjoys the finest of golf experiences.

Thanks to JohnnyGK and Cascata for a great day.

I Played Mesa Linda this morning (8/13/19) with my nephew Michael. I was a little disappointed that the range was closed for mowing (tuesday is maintenance day) with the range open around 8:30. When we teed off at 7:21 the course was wide open. We played as a twosome finishing at 10:20.
The course is in pretty good condition as we started but the crews were hard at work punching the fairways. I normally don't mind fairways that have been punched but the machine used was ripping 2" to 3" chunks of sod up in some areas (I would have posted a picture but forgot my phone). This said it was still playable and only a minor problem. The fairways have the usual dirt spots here and there from the heavy play. The tee boxes are in very good shape with a few spots from people blasting trenches with there clubs. I found the greens to be the best part of this course they were still a little furry and damp but played soft and true. the speed got faster still holding your approach as the morning went on. Holes 17 and 18 had been mowed before we hit them, they were a little faster than the rest. I don't recall any bare spots or burn areas on the greens at all. The bunkers were mostly soft gray coarse sand some being wet but good coverage and depth in all. Meas Linda is a fun course and has always been a great place to work on my game. I will continue to play and enjoy this course.

First off I would like to thank Johnny for another fun outing. I love your format and look forward to playing with the group again. I would also like to thank Linksoul for all the great gear thay provided not to mention to Golf Moose for the shirts.

Congratulations to Dconnally for his victory 6 and 4 in our GK Cup match.

I feel like the Champions course could use some TLC. I felt like I was playing my local city course not a resort. The biggest issues I had were the numbers of cart path only holes ( I belive 8 holes had some or all restricted) This is a big issue for the older gang. On the 18th green (the first time we saw a marshal) we were told that the carts could have been adjusted to let us play on more of the fairways. A little too late for Dave C and myself.

The course itself is a great layout with good greens a few thin spots but ok for play. They were fair to read and pretty fast as well. The fairways were cut very short and had many ground under repair areas (some marked some just bare) Thay were fair and you had to try to get a really bad lie. I found lots of sand this fine Saturday with some being soft and some very firm. The bunkers all seemed to have pleanty of sand it was as if you would have a dry soft bunker than a wet firm one. This was a bit of a challange for me and others in my foursome.

I would have to have a good reason to play the Champions course again. The GK outings are high on my list of golf activities. I would play here again with the GK events.

I had the privilege of playing with Rob1563, John A, and my son Mpisarski01 in the GK event. We had a great time playing together for the second time in 3 days. Reflection Bay is one of my favorites and did not disappoint. The course is in fantastic shape with lush green fairways and greens. The views of Lake Las Vegas are incredible. The tee boxes were level with plenty of fresh turf to hit from. I found my way into several bunkers with soft white sand. When I did hit the fairways they were cut short and I never hit into someone’s divot. I had some trouble reading the greens on my many long putts. They were smooth and true if read correctly. All in all I cannot wait to play again at Reflection Bay Golf Club and highly recommend it to anyone spending time Las Vegas. I would like to thank the staff for providing such a fine golf experience.
