Played BHGC this week and it was an excellent golf experience.

Upon arrival to the moment I departed, I received incredible service. Upon arriving I was greeted and my bag was taken by bag drop. At the snack bar and pro shop the service was also warm, receiving, and just great overall. The snack bar had good golf course typical food items, and drinks for days. The pro shop was very well stocked with merchandise and very nicely kept.

As for the golf, this was a very fun golf course that required better than average shot execution. I played from the tips, we had wind speeds between 10 - 15 mph which made the course play longer than the yardage for the most part. The course was well manicured and in very good condition overall. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5 (great use of the available land), conditions are rated a 4.5 out of 5. I note the following:

Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage
Fairways: Green at times tight, no damage
Greens: Green, medium-fast, no damage (10 - 10.5 in speed)
Sand: Well maintained and firm (appeared like new sand was recently brought in to refill bunkers)
Rough and Waste Areas: Rough not very penal (1 - 2 inches) - Waste areas were large with hard sand, rock, and various types of plant life. Well maintained and attractive to see, but not fun to hit from.
Driving Range: Hitting into a 20 yard net of a turf surface. It worked for warm up, but a driving range would have been nice. It was nice for what it was, but certainly not a highlight if you enjoy the pre-round driving range experience as I do.
POP: 4.25 hours - waited briefly on 3 holes (Wednesday 11 AM)
Other: Airport noise was frequent, unfortunately. I blocked it out, and only had it affect me on 1 shot. This was the only knock on the place, but certainly not a big deal if engaged with your golf game.

The course is a flat hybrid desert / tropical style track that has been enhanced with creativity and charm to make it a golf oasis along the South Strip of LV. Despite being generally flat, there were plenty of fairway undulations, and tee box and green elevation changes. Most holes holes have great views of the surrounding strip, which add a bit of nostalgia to the golf experience. The course itself is certainly eye candy to the golfer's eye due to the overall excellent maintenance and well presented layout.

If playing here, you will need to hit fairways to keep your score reasonable. Premium is placed on hitting a good tee ball, to have a shot at the green. On most holes, if you miss the fairway you will likely not have a shot at the green. Good news is fairways are not too tight. Greens were usually medium in size and medium to firm to all shots. Both greens and fairways were strategically bunkered for protection, with greens often times crowning to the terrain. There were also a few lakes / water hazards that keep you in check on some holes, they were certainly attractive hazards.

The practice putting and chipping green was great, as was the scene and vibe of the golf course. We started on time and noticed 1 Marshall on the course during our round, on 2 occasions. It was a bit pricey to play here and worth the money; certainly a must play golf course if in LV. I will play next time I visit, again.
