Played 8/3/19 with Rob1563. Pace of play was great. Finished found under 3 and a half hours. Angel Park is my home course and summer conditions are good. I like the Mountain course better than their other 18 hole course - Palm, but neither is a bad choice. Probably play 75% of rounds on Mountain and 25% on Palm. The OB card is good value and rates are very reasonable. Summer rates can dip below $30 with the card.

I've had an OB card for so many years I've lost count. Will continue to come back.

Played today, 7/18 as well as last Saturday, 7/13. Today was an almost noon tee time I found on the app about 30 minutes earlier, $30 with the OB card. On check in, I was told a couple of 2somes had gone out about 30 minutes earlier, but a bunch of 4somes ahead of them. I played the front in about 1:20, taking a break to eat at 6 when I caught the 1st 2some. By 10, the 2 2s joined up since it was stacked in front of them, I invited a couple to join me but they declined. Finished in about 3:40 with a very slow back 9.

Conditions are really good right now. AP just hosted their annual Pro/Scratch, which is their highlight tourney. Course has retained their tourney feel. They added a 1st cut, which looks good and nice to hit from. Some dried out spots in the fairway but playable. Greens are in great shape, medium speed which I'm not use to, but they are smooth. The bunkers today were the only change from the weekend, dry and crusty versus loose and easy to hit from.

$30 is a steal right now. Course is in great shape.

Played Friday, 6/14, with John_T. Paid $35 with the OB card. Teed off at 7, was loading the clubs into the trunk before 11, paired with 2 other locals.

Course is in great shape heading into summer. Lush conditions tee to green, but grass is longer than normal, so no roll in the fairways and some nasty rough. Greens are phenomenal after aerating a month ago. Smooth but slower than normal, slowest I've seen them. The bunker replacement have held up, sand was wet but still go early in the morning, started to get a little crusty on top as it heated up.

Mountain is where I gauge my game, if I score well, I know I played well, there's no hiding it a bad part of the game.

Played following Masters Sunday. Walked on, checked in, grabbed a wrap from the grill, and was on the 1st tee in less than 30 minutes. Teed off solo but joined a 3some while waiting on the 2nd tee. Finished under 4 hours, even though the 3 in front of us were throwing down multiple balls on the tee.

Course seems to be transitioning from the winter rye to Bermuda. Some of the tee boxes need to be leveled. Fairways are a bit thin, with some GUR marked off. Rough is starting to grow. The new sand in the bunkers is a little heavy. The greens were the best part. Pretty smooth, on the fast side, but with some ball marks that haven't been fixed.


Easy check in, great starter, and drink cart was around every 3 or 4 holes. Always a good challenge on the Mountain.

Played on Friday, 2/8, at 9:30 with John_T. Course had a frost delay but any back-up was cleared up by the time we teed off and we didn't see any delays. Joined a single on #2 and picked up another single on #5, as we chased a lackadaisical 2some around. Finished in just under 4 hours, actually waiting on every tee on the back.

Course conditions were very similar to Palm. Tee boxes need a little work, but nothing that affects play. Fairways were in great shape, firm with some run out. All green with no dirt areas. Rough was just long enough to define the fairway and not very penal. Bunkers had some work done in the last month or 2 and showed great improvement. Better than Vegas average sand. Greens were not as good as Palm's greens yesterday. Very firm, but a shade slower and very bumpy. A couple of greens were showing thin areas.

Mountain is my home course, it's a good test and has very tricky to read greens. Always fun.

Back on the home course on Saturday, 12/15. $50 with the OB Card, teed at 8:20ish, and finished in just over 3 1/2 hours with John_T and his dad.

Back on the home course on Saturday, 12/15. $50 with the OB Card, teed at 8:20ish, and finished in just over 3 1/2 hours with John_T and his dad.

Course was in great winter condition. Tee boxes mostly level, some divot damage. Fairways were lush, no thin spots, the re-seed has taken very well, except along the water on #2. Rough was 1-2 inches and fairly lush. New bunker sand is going well, saw them replacing some on the back. Greens were pretty good to great. Some ball marks, but mostly smooth, almost fast.

It's winter so the migrating birds have homestead on 2 and 9, so there's a chance of a poop ball. Weirdly, they like the 9th fairway over the 18th on the shared lake.

Always a fun time and a good challenge. 17 and 18 are a great finishing combo.

Played Saturday, 11/10, with a tee time just before 11 with John_T and his dad. Paid $45 with OB card and a 15% discount. Teed off a few minutes late on a busy day, felt like it took forever especially waiting on every tee (2 groups deep every hole of the back), but still finished in 4:10. Weird.

Course is in great winter condition. Some tee boxes need to be leveled but all playable. Fairways have fully grown in and lush. Rough (also re-seeded) was about 1-3 inches, depending on the hole. Bunkers are getting new sand and all were pretty fluffy. Greens were firm and as fast as I have seen them.

Another beautiful Vegas day on my home course. Course is very playable and worth a look.

Played here at 7:12 Tuesday morning, 8/14 with rob1563. Great fun and thanks to Rob for getting me the OB Sports rate! We got sent to the tee early but a few groups were stacked up waiting to start, so we began right on time. Hot temps but tolerable. Service was good and beverage cart came around a couple times. Pace was good at just over 4:00.

I found the conditions to be surprisingly good for mid-August. I'll get the bad out of the way first: A few greens are starting to dry out, resulting in some occasional dead spots. Fairways are a little spotty sometimes and browned out in some areas. But otherwise, I thought things were quite good considering the time of year. Greens held full shots well and rolled mostly smooth about medium speed. Fairways and rough had good coverage. I wasn't in any greenside bunkers but the fairway bunkers I was in were good. Tee boxes were decent, a little inconsistent but fine.

Design-wise, I felt the course felt similar to nearby Badlands (RIP) and TPC Las Vegas, but lacking some of the drama those courses deliver(ed). Like those courses, it offers some great mountain views. The desert areas at Angel Park aren't too severe, and it seems you can often find your ball and play it. Overall, it's a decent mid-range option in the Vegas area, but not a "destination"-type layout you'll remember vividly.

Played on Friday, 8/10 at 3 for $22 (OB card). Walked on solo, paired up with a father/son who only played 9, then finished by myself, just under 3 hours total.

Course is showing the late summer heat wear and tear. Fairways are thinning out, with some mud areas (especially #2). Some greens have dead/dirt areas mostly around the edges, but most have 90% or more coverage.

Some cooler weather and next month's reseed can not come soon enough, but for $20-30, definitely worth the price. If playing in the afternoon, stock up as there was no drink cart and the snack shack was closed, and the course is far from the clubhouse.
