Angel Park was great, but needs some water.

Played another very fun round of golf at another excellent LV golf course. This a great course layout designed by Arnie with strategic challenges and scenic views.


The layout is fun and challenging. The layout and design are an A+. This is a great course for an advanced golfer, yet playable for mid-level golfers.


AP Mountain is a fun Players Course that is a reasonable test of golf with wind speeds that exceeded 20 mph in the afternoon. AP Mountain is well-designed into the desert and places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The course features clear definition between its mid-sized fairways and rough areas, well placed bunkering on fairways and proximate to greens, along with strategic water hazards on a couple of holes, with fast greens.

The course layout is rated a 4.4 out of 5, conditions are rated a 3.8 out of 5 due to water shortage. I note the following:


Tee Boxes: Average condition


Fairways: Mixed green, yellow, and dry and at times tight. Average condition


Greens: Well maintained and medium in speed, about a 10.5. Greens were not underwatered and were in above-average condition.


Sand: Maintained and firm. Average condition.


Rough: Rough was defined from the fairway and green collared but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Very grabby at times. Average condition.


Waste Areas: - Waste areas on various holes did not offer the opportunity of recovery due to their overgrown nature. Above average.


Driving Range: Very nice driving range with yellow rangers. Hitting off matts. Also noted a nice chipping green.


Practice Putting Green: multiple greens noted on site, condition above average.


POP: 3 hours


The facility included a nice restaurant, and pro shop. Service received at both was very good.


Really enjoyed this layout and course. It is enjoyable to play now, but I would say the course conditions are at 70% from their best due to water shortage and Summer heat. Once the Summer heat is gone and the course recovers, it will be a top conditioned golf course.


AP Mountain is a solid golf course that I look forward to again playing. If you have a chance to play here, do no pass up the opportunity.
