Just got back from Las Vegas. I went with friends who wanted to give me a proper send-off before I move to Hyderabad, India in just 90 short days. We went for the USA Sevens Rugby tournament - - and I had heard great things about The Wolf course at Paiute Resort. Obviously I threw my sticks in the trunk!! All the positive things I've been hearing are most certainly TRUE! My goodness....a "Cheeseburger" review with no negatives?? Can it happen?? Is it true?? Yes...in spades!! Organized, friendly staff...superb practice facility. We went out at 7:30 A.M. on Saturday (2/13/10) - - it was a little cold (41-degrees) but that's not a negative. We may have been the first ones out - - and we saw NOBODY either in front of us or behind us all day. We finished in just a shade over four-hours. The course from tee to green on all 18 wonderful holes is immaculate. The recent rains have made it all as green and plush as you will ever find. Not a bad lie in any fairway...the ball sits up nicely on beautiful green turf-grass as nice as I've ever seen. The greens were rolling so true...fast downhill - true and with the most subtle breaks going uphill. We got some tips from the starter about the greens breaking away from the snow-capped mountains to the West...which was "usually" true...but it's still a good idea to look at every putt from both sides/ends...the breaks, like I said...are subtle...but they are there!! The rough was not too long....perfect for resort golf. The rough was not overly punative...but you'd still rather keep it in the short grass!! I love the layout...most of the greens are well-bunkered...following the "Pro Tips" on the very nice GPS screen in every cart will save you a few strokes. There is just the right mix of shorter par-fours, nice par-threes and long par-fives. Some of the longer par-fours are real monsters. We played from the Yellow tee boxes...perfect, I think for my partner and me...we're both 11.8 Indexers. I shot a smooth 85 (44-41) and I loved every minute I was on the course. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
