Last course on this Vegas outing was the Las Vegas Country Club. This is an old school parkland course where all the old timers in Vegas hung out and played. The pro shop has some construction going on, so I didn’t quite get to fully check it out. Course is located right off the north end of the strip. Its flat (would be easy to walk) with most holes being dead straight. There are a bunch of water hazards on the track to keep things interesting and to add to the aesthetics. Conditions were excellent as expected for a private(ish) course. I think they do a lot of business with the hotels so check with your concierge and you can probably get on for about $250. Greens were great. They were medium sized with modest undulations and rolled super smooth at a fast pace. Greens were slightly (very slightly) on the firm side but held well struck approach shots. Sand traps were decent enough but not over the top great. Fairways were lush and a deep emerald green. Easily a 9 rating. Rough was thick and penal. Very lush and you had to be right on top of your ball to see it. Tee boxes were very nice. Range is off mats and goes out to about 200-225 yards. After that It’s a huge net to capture the balls. Range balls are in serious need of replacement. Carts have GPS. Customer service was decent enough. Friendly and efficient with someone at the end to clean your clubs. Highlight of the course is the small airplane in one of the ponds next to the 10th green. Sorta cool in my opinion. Well worth the experience, but I can’t say I’d come back, only because there are so many courses in Vegas I’ve yet to play.
