Lawyered

So they decided not to overseed this year and the course is totally dormant and the fairways are PAINTED green. I play here every single year during the SEMA convention and for the last three years it has always been amazing. This year apparently they decided to dump a bunch of money into bunkers and couldn't afford to overseed.

It was embarrassing to pay $170 for a course that looked like a $20 muni course at the end of summer. I didnt want to ruin the mood of our trip by throwing a fit in the proshop but this was extremely irritating.

Also, none of the fountains were running. Im guessing to save costs. There are also a number of tee boxes with broken marker or spray painted rocks. The restaurant was under renovation and closed. This course has gone downhill since the new owners took it over.

I literally wont play here again.

We played Rio Secco and TPC Las Vegas in the following days, BOTH were about $50 cheaper and in PERFECT condition with overseed.

Apparently they are putting a bunch of money into this course, there were a couple temporary tee boxes but it looks like it will be finished in a few months. They already have several new tee boxes and sand traps done. Place is kind of a hidden gem. Some interesting and blind holes. Definitely on the easier side so if you want an ego boost go here.

I will be back for sure, especially at $47 on a sunday.

I played here after two days of rain and the drainage at this place is pretty poor on half the holes. It was my first time here and I liked the layout and it was generally in good condition. I think there was just an excessive amount of rain in the days before because some of the bunkers turned into lakes and they were pumping them out. Greens were difficulty too because some had poor drainage and others were fine, which made consistent putting a challenge.

Ill come back here for sure but not after a rain.

I would say Sterling is the perfect example of an average course. Decently kept and no real complaints. Nothing great to say but also nothing too bad. There was a couple temporary pins but that's not a real issue.

Im sure ill play again several more times this season.

Upon arrival they tried to charge me $220 for the round and I pulled out my confirmation email that said $146.95, which didnt say about tax being included or not but giving them the benefit of the doubt, adding tax comes to $170. They told me it would be $220 about 10 times and they talked to the manager who again told me $220 (through text message with the staff) - YET THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL SAID $146.95, which i booked through the hard rock website. So after sending him the email and wasting 30 minutes they finally gave it to me at $170. I also pulled up the tee times for the day and they all said $146.95. The problem was that this place is not owned by Hard Rock so its some random company that runs the course, its not even near the actual resort. Also, i like to get logo balls at the courses I play at, which they had a sleeve for $18 (insane even for vacation prices), and single balls for $3, but the single balls were literally written on with a stencil and a permanent marker. The sleeve balls were actual logo balls and the singles were the course marking up range balls and selling them at $3 a pop. This place is a joke of a course management wise.

Conditions were okay, i was happy playing. The course was in reasonable condition, all the greens were nice. Starter and on-course staff were great, very friendly, no complaints there. Food was pretty bad and a very poor snack selection. Minimal beer selection on the course too.

After my round my pre-scheduled transport wasnt going to be there for THREE more hours (no clue how they think a round takes 6 hours in a cart with nobody on the course). Again, the front desk told me nobody could take me back to my hotel until my schedule time, in three hours, but she said i could pay for a taxi. So i said, "you guys want me sitting in your bar drinking free booze for three hours?" sure enough, a van was there in 5 minutes to take me back. These people are just scammers and have no concept of customer service. Even from the start they had poor attitudes, which is the first time I have experienced this in Mexico becasue EVERYONE wants your business and is extremely friendly.

So to sum up. Play somewhere else.

Everything was great here. The only downside was a large group at the start of the day so we had to start on the 8th hole for a shotgun start. Otherwise the course was in perfect condition, like probably the nicest condition course I have ever played on. Greens were insanely difficult but fun. Cart food was surprisingly VERY good, probably the best cart sandwich I have ever had. Cost was $209 and included round trip transportation from my hotel, and unlimited food and booze. Plus a sweet mayan ruin in the background!

Great overall course. I probably wouldn't play this course in the near future because there are so many other Vegas area courses that I want to try, but it was definitely one of the nicer courses I have played. You wont be disappointed by this place but you also wont be blown away. It's a nice course but didn't really give me a WOW factor on any hole.

Now I played this course in the middle of fall, low 50s day, so consider that when reading this review.

I was very disappointed in this place. To start I got there 15 minutes early and they wouldn't let me pay until they made a three-some (I came alone), so I didn't tee off until 30 minutes after my scheduled tee time despite the course being empty. They would only send us out as a minimum three-some.

Course was very underwhelming. Layout was very boring, no exciting holes. The actual course conditions was fine, some leaves but that's to be expected. Really it was the layout that I found extremely lackluster. I couldn't imagine being a member here. I don't like giving negative reviews but I rather play a place like Maple Moor over here.

Course conditions were above average but nowhere near perfect. However, this place was exciting to play. Probably one of the most fun rounds I've had all year (maybe due to my best score all year). It's close to the strip and the scenery is amazing. Had a great mix of challenging and moderate holes, I cant think of a boring hole though, they were all great. This is definitely a place that I will play every time I come to Vegas.

The course is extremely challenging, not to mention I played on a wet and windy day. This place just destroyed me, as im sure it does to a lot of people. When I went to look for my balls in the tall grass, I literally found several before my own. Mansion is definitely a place for straight hitters and very unforgiving. Objectively its a great course with very unique holes. Staff was great and course was in great shape.

I read reviews on this place before going about the pace being slow, and it is true. They need to get the pace fixed and this place would be perfect. Course was in great condition, holes were very interesting. I played on a Thursday during the week and it was irritatingly slow at some points but the place wasn't packed, so it is a fixable issue. For people that are impatient, I wouldn't play here. But if you're okay waiting on half the holes then go for it, you wont be disappointed. Ill probably play here again next season and hopefully they fixed the pace issue. GREAT VALUE for the money though.

Played lakes/meadows. Both were great but lakes was exceptional, layout wise. Greens were tough and fast and the overall condition we pretty good. Highly recommended.

Mediocre course. They just aerated today so the greens were as bad as you can get (I'll give them a pass on that). Lots of weeds in the roughs and too many brown bare spots in the fairway. The course design was nice, pretty forgiving for a beginner. Carts are gas, which is loud and annoying. Probably won't play it again.

Amazing value for this course if you get a hot deal on golf now. Course was in good condition, greens were a little on the slow side but taken care of. One of the better courses in the area. I think I paid $35, worth double that.

Course was in good condition. Paid $85, probably worth $60 so the value wasn't good but it's still worth playing for a change. I'll play here again for sure. Good bar/restaurant area too.
