Played in the late afternoon on Thursday, 4/24/08, on a sunny windy day. Played the Desert and Mountain nines. Resort-style course - conditions were generally good with dry, firm fairways and greens. Rough was bushy in some places, but I stayed out of the sand. Greens rolled well but weren’t real fast. Desert nine was pretty boring, Mountain has some interesting holes. Most are pretty straight through housing areas – no big doglegs or real elevation changes. No yardage book – GPS in the carts, but a lot of the screen wasted on advertisements, and the ‘green’ view always has the pin in the center of the green, so it’s a waste of time. Many sprinklers marked. We didn’t get a bathroom key on our cart key ring, so visited some of the local trees – sure the neighbors appreciated that! Saw a ranger once, cart girl a couple times early in the round. Not enough water out for players. OK, but there are many better choices in the Vegas area.
