Some narrow fairways, several tee shots require a good carry over natural habitat but that made it very interesting. Fairways were bare in spots despite plenty of rain lately, other spots had been recently seeded. Greens had some bare spots as well but they kept the flags away from them. For a $40 Hot Deal it was a great value. Two of us finished the round in under 3.5 hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Due to a change in plans I was able to arrive about an hour early for my 3:00 tee time. I check in with the starter, an older gentleman who looked mad at the world. He took down my information, including cart number, and I proceeded to my cart. After 3 or 4 minutes I decided to move my cart closer to the putting green and he shouted at me "hey Cart 125 you need to check in". I looked at him in disbelief and said "I just spoke with you 3 minutes ago". He scowled at me and asked for my tee time - which again he just took down 3 minutes earlier. I then asked him if I might be able to join an earlier group since I was a single golfer and I was there quite early. He just replied abruptly "No" ... as I watched several groups of 3 golfers proceed to the 1st tee over the next little while. While waiting until my tee time I guess senile Scrooge's shift must have ended because he was replaced by another guy. I was chatting with another pair of golfers whose scheduled tee time had already passed by, yet they hadn't been called to the tee. I decided to see if this new starter was any friendlier and asked if they were running behind. His response was to ask me for my tee time and say to me "why do you care you aren't up for another 6 minutes". I golf about 25 times per year and its incredibly rare to meet anyone on a golf course, including the starter, who is not friendly and in a good mood. These two a-holes on a power trip were the exception to that rule. Add that to the fact that the pace of play was incredibly slow - 2.5 hours for 9 holes on an incredibly wide open golf course - and I won't be coming back here again, despite the fact that it is a very nice course (and plays very easy on the handicap).

The course was actually quite wet considering there has not been an unusual amount of rain the last week or so. A few of the bunkers were completely flooded and unplayable. Otherwise though the course is in great shape. The rough is thicker than average so keeping it on the fairway and the green is important. First time playing here and the greens are deceiving with some tricky breaks. My friend and I were joined by a member who helped guide us around the course and the breaks in the green.

This is the 3rd of 3 Vegas courses I played while here on vacation this week and the most enjoyable. We ran into some crazy weather (including hail!) but the course is in great condition and was a treat to play.

Overall I liked the course but I can’t recommend a place that turns a blind eye to 5 some golf. We caught up to these clowns early on the back 9. After about three holes when it became apparent they weren’t going to let us (3) play through we called the clubhouse. Their initial response was as if 5 guys playing together was the norm. We asked them to send someone out to address the issue, they said they would but no one came. I wouldn’t expect this from a crappy city owned public hack track, never mind a course with Jacks name on it that is willing to charge $200+ for a round. Unbelievable

First time playing in Vegas, I picked a good course to start. It’s a bit of a hike to get here from the Strip, but worth the drive. The guy in the pro shop was completely unhelpful and miserable, but the rest of the crew were good. Course is well laid out, my only complaint is the greens appear to have been over seeded about 10 days prior and were not running well. Overall I would recommend (Wolf).

I was taking my teenage son for his first round EVER, this is a good course to break them in. As can be expected from a par 63 course there are lots of par 3's, but the good news is they're pretty standard - 150 to 160 yards on average.
The fairways were not in good shape - very dry and hard but that can be expected after this summer - bunkers needed work, and the greens had been aerated so they were still covered with sand. I wasn't expecting Glen Abbey though, and for the price it's a good deal and a great place to learn and/or work on your short game while still being able to pull out the driver on a few holes.
The finishing hole (18) is a nice par 5.

The course is in very good shape particularly after a very dry summer so far. Greens were quick. Always enjoy playing here, not a particularly long course but challenging and requires you to make every shot in your bag. Several holes require tight shots through trees off the tee.

I've played Cardinal several times and it can get backed up on a weekend. That can happen on a public course but today was insane!! Not totally the course's fault, just a bunch of idiots on the course on a Labour Day. Guys, if there's an open hole in front of you, taking pictures of yourselves on the tee block is not recommended. I quit after 9 holes and got a rain check for another 9. The course marshals and clubhouse staff were apologetic. Made the best out of a bad situation.

Course was in good shape, a great course for walkers and beginner/intermediate golfers. Walkers: distance from green to next tee is very short, and the course is very flat. Course is open (few trees, some water) but long enough (6,500 from blue tees) to provide a reasonable challenge for an intermediate golfer.
