It had been 12 years since I played Mojave Resort Golf Club and in that time frame I have read the reviews and driven by the golf course periodically on my way to Bullhead City. It’s had its ups and downs in that time frame. I visited the golf course last year after they made a management change and again in March. It’s definitely trending upward so I decided to do a GK Plays outing there despite the typically very hot temps in Laughlin NV in late July. I’m glad I did. The golf course was in very good summer shape and I forgot how fun the layout is. We have a GK Coupon posted here on Greenskeeper.org for just $25 for 18 holes w/cart – that is a fantastic bargain to play this golf course.

Our GK Plays outing had a small turnout but we definitely enjoyed ourselves on Sunday. My first outing there and certainly will plan on more. Staff treated us very well and since we teed off early we did not feel the effects of the heat much. I really like the Par 3’s out there which 3 of the 4 feature have forced carries over water. The Par 5’s are a blast too with many opportunities to get home in two. Throughout the round we were treated to beautiful views of the surrounding Mojave Desert. Another nice plus is they have a beautiful grass driving range to warm up on. I posted some photos so please check them out.

The only drawback is the trailer used as a clubhouse if you wanted to do a big outing. However they will make arrangements for temporary structures to accommodate large groups.

As far as conditions, the golf course was summer lush with excellent fairways and deep rough. I’m still having nightmares trying to find our groups golf balls on hole 10, LOL. The tee boxes for the white and some gold tees were predominately closed due to a level/sod replacement project taking place. We played most of our round from the green tees. Next time playing the course I want to experience it from the gold tees. The greens were slower than expected but I’m guessing that is out of necessity this time of year with average high temps around 110. I’d like to experience the greens when they are rolling faster however they did roll smooth. Bunkers is where the golf course needs the most improvement and upon talking to the management this is a main focus. Many of the fairway bunkers are being removed this summer which explains why some of them had grass currently growing in them during play Sunday. Greenside bunkers had decent sand but there is room for improvement as far as grooming. Overall, considering the time year I was very happy with the shape of the golf course.

Laughlin/Bullhead City attracts lots of water recreation visitors being right on the Colorado River. It’s definitely worth your while to bring your golf clubs for an early morning round at Mojave Resort. And if you are a group organizer it’s worth your while to have an outing there as well.

THANK You everyone that came out our GK Plays!
