Had the pleasure of playing at BHGC with Johnny, Ron, and Wendy. An incredible Sunday with solid golfers and excellent playing partners! As always, BHGC was an excellent golf experience! It is Real Vegas Golf, Baby!

Upon arrival to the moment I departed, I received excellent 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 outstanding overall. The snack bar had good golf course typical food items, and drinks for days, a bit on the pricey side. The pro shop was very well stocked with merchandise and very nicely kept.

This was a very fun golf course that required better than average shot execution. I played from the Bali Tees with wind speeds between 5 - 15 mph. I felt the course played it yardage for the most part despite the limited wind conditions.

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. Excellent condition.

Fairways: Green at times tight, no damage. Excellent condition.

Greens: Green, fast, no damage (11 in speed). Excellent condition.

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 - 3 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 off 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.

POP: 4.5 hours

The course is a flat hybrid desert / tropical style track that has been enhanced with creativity and theme 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 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 its 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. 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 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, per the usual. We started on time and noticed 1 Marshall on the course during our round. Certainly, a must play golf course if in LV. I will absolutely play next time I visit LV.

Thank you, Johnny and GreensKeeper.org for this Awesome Outing!
