Sunday foursome at Mountain Meadows this past weekend. Got an online rate of $61 + cart through Golfnow.com, but when we arrived, there was an issue with them finding the reservation. Got it sorted out eventually but not after hearing many bad stories of them working with Golfnow.com - so why do they still do it? Anyway.

Super fun track with lots of terrain variations, narrow holes, doglegs and just some plain fun ones. I always enjoy playing this course thanks to all of the unique holes here and some pretty cool views as well. The course is very green right now and holding up very well.

Greens were in good shape but certainly not lightning fast with the exception of any of the well-sloped tiers - those tended to pick up speed pretty well. Not too many ball marks to contend with and the ball rolled pretty true and straight all day. No complaints there.

Tee boxes were also in good shape and the fairways were very green and a pleasure to hit from for the most part. The occasional thin lie will be found, but for the most part it's in very good shape. There is also a lot of thick rough out there so finding your ball, even if you saw exactly where it ended up, can still be a challenge. I was also in many bunkers and their consistency varied throughout the day. Some were nice and fluffy-ish, while others were very thin and dicey. Adjust acordingly.

If you're familiar with the course, know that the par 3 9th lake is currently drained and the entire pond is surrounded with yellow tape and considered GUR at present. I don't know how long this will be the case. But other than that, it all looks and plays very well. Small but useful and convenient driving range as well.

Mountain Meadows gets a nice thumbs up for its present shape.

Played sunrise 7/6/20 with a 7:30 start to get out before the real heat settled in. Even though this course is in an older part of Vegas, it is well worth playing. Very reasonable prices and pace of play was great at just over 3 and a half hours.

Like every other clubhouse in Vegas, you can't go in without a mask. Single rider carts for everyone too, unless you live ... » More

I love these greens! They are the most consistent I've ever played. I wish I would have hit a few putts before going out though. One of my playing partners did and said it was exactly the same.

Fairways were in great shape, bunkers were well groomed (no rakes though) but were a little crusty/hard, and tee boxes were level and not full of divots. Some of the tee boxes on the back were a bit scruffy, but not terrible, except for #11 which looked like it had some weeds trying to take over.

Course maintenance is supposed to start tomorrow, but you wouldn't know it.

Course was in pretty good shape. The greens were smooth with minimal marks. The fairway was a lot softer than normal. Rough was thick in some areas (backside of most fairway bunkers). There is still no solution for bunkers in COVID other than to just use your foot to clear a flat spot. The cups have a cut pool noodle in the bottom (Over a month past reopening I would have thought to see more adoption of the lever contraption that Rams Hill uses).

I really enjoy the layout of the course that puts ball striking at a premium. I can’t wait to go back.
