This was the last course we played for our golf group outing. Rack rate was $125 but given a discount because tee boxes were being aerated. It was a windy day when we played.

This course has a lot of up and down elevation. Some target golf as some fairways had some cervices that separated the fairways. Greens were in good condition and did hold shots when landed properly. Fairways were nice and lush and rough was cut higher but not penalizing. The greenside bunkers were compacted red sand. Cart GPS was very hard to read as it had a very small screen and only read distance to pin.

Overall I would rate this course at a $75 rack rate not $125. Staff were very friendly. For those who play the Inland Empire, I would compare this course to the likes of Hidden Valley.

This was course #2 in our golf group outing in the St. George area. It had the best scenery, especially through the back nine. Course conditions it came in #2 behind Black Desert. Rack rate was $125.

The course is a links style course with wide open fairways and nice greens. Tall thick grass beyond the rough made it difficult to find your ball if you landed there. Greens did not hold your shots and were fast. Most of us landed short and rolled it up to the green. Course was nice and green throughout. Greenside bunkers contained slightly compacted white sand but still easy to hit out off. Carts had GPS showing distances to all shots. Hole#16 Par 5 tees were moved up due to construction reducing it to only 380 yards.

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Restaurant and clubhouse were very nice and served good food.

Played 3 courses in the St. George area with a large group outing this week. We were charged a $280 green fee, which was an increase of $30 from January. We were provided bag tags with our names engraved, free food from the taco truck, free unlimited refreshments and a forecaddie (tips not included in rack rate). Free range balls in the great practice area. Course has plans to go private and for resorts guests only in the future.

The course is in pristine condition. From the tees, fairways, roughs, traps and greens. You can literally putt from the fairway to the green. Landed in some green side bunkers which contained fluffy white sand. The layout of the course was challenging but not difficult. However, if you hit your ball into the lava rock area, consider it lost. Also, we had to play with 22 mph gusts. Carts are equipped GPS that provide a short narrative of hole layout. The forecaddie was very helpful with where to hit on the course and how to align your putts. He earned a great tip from each player in our foursome. We saw the cart girl 3 times during our round providing the free snacks and refreshments. All the staff members we encountered were very friendly and professional.

Unfortunately, there are some cons to this course at this time. The course is in the middle of a construction zone as they are rapidly building a resort and homes around the course. So, there was a lot of dust clouds with all the trucks driving around the area. Our bags became dusted with dirt. There is no clubhouse and the proshop/checkin is situated in a small trailer. The taco truck staff were not that friendly and appeared to be disgruntled when you placed an order. The truck left the course way before we all finished, and players will have to share the truck with all the construction workers which created long lines. No food at the turn since you do not go by the taco truck, so you will have to settle with potato chips and candy for refreshments. No alcohol but they do allow you to bring your own.

My overall review is that at this time it is pricey for all the construction noise, flying dust and food situation. Maybe closer to the $200 level right now. Will I play it again in the future? Yes, but maybe once the construction is completed.

Got out to Rhodes Ranch yesterday. What a treat this course is. Fun layout for sure. I had this on my list of courses I wanted to try when I go to Vegas. Haven't been playing as much lately, but looking to turn it up the rest of this year. I accidentally booked this course for the wrong date and I got charged. I called the pro shop and got a hold of the manager who told me take your pick of dates and times and come on out we would love to have you. I was very impressed by this. I bought a hat and talked to the guys in the pro shop for a while, really fun group.

Rhodes Ranch is a 6151 yard Par 71 that weaves through a deep housing complex that also serves as a private for those who live there. The practice facility is rather large and has a good size practice green. The course is challenging but enticing. Drivable par 4s, long par 3's, the par 5's are long, and some very unique traps. The greens were tough to read with the wind but fair. The fairways were perfect and the sand needed a little love. Overall, for what you can potentially pay for out in Vegas, this is a gem. A little slow for a Friday morning but totally worth it. It is not close to the strip however a brand new casino opened up a mile away and it seems really nice. Looking to not break the bank and have fun, this is it.

If you could play a bucket list exclusive golf course, could you really put a price tag on it?

Well, Shadow Creek in North Las Vegas is that kind of course. You probably heard stories; but they are all true. From the second the limo picks you up ( in our case, straight from the airport), the experience is first class.

After entering through an unmarked gate, you enter a Tom Fazio masterpiece that Steve Wynn spent over $60 million to build in 1989. Obviously, there are a lot of influences from Augusta National. There is not a rock or piece of grass out of place here. We were lucky enough to be one of 9 tee times all day. Our included fore caddy knew the course really well. He did all the things a great fore caddy would do and more including unpacking our clubs from our travel bag, picked up all the stray grass from our pitch marks and basically kept the course in pristine condition.

We were greeted by the assistant pro and our forecaddy when our limo dropped us off at the main entrance. After a tour of the clubhouse, we were given huge lockers to unpack our stuff. Large trays of candy and snacks were made available to us - all complimentary. The restaurant was good sized and had a nice outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green and Steve Wynn's old residence.

The practice area was first class with Taylormade TP5X practice balls and a separate short game area with cherry blossoms in route.

The course conditions were immaculate. Greens were firm and fast and scary at 13 on the stimp. Each hole has amazing shot value. I particularly loved the unique par 3's on this course. Carts were well stocked with Gatorade and bottled water and ice chest. If you needed anything, they brought it right out to you. Sand was perfectly raked and fluffy. Fairways were perfect and aprons were perfect. We were never rushed and barely saw a group all day. POP was 4:30 as we took our time to take pictures and enjoy everything.

Every employee we encountered here had so much pride of ownership. Our casino host joined us for a drink after the round and he said the course does not make any money; instead, they want to just provide a jaw dropping golf experience to it's patrons.

If you get a chance to play this place, it is worth every penny. I uploaded some pictures of the par 3’s.
