Rhodes Ranch Country Club
Played On 10/17/2018Great Day to Golf
Recently played favorite Rhodes Ranch with a couple of out of town new friends. As usual RR did not disappoint. The greens and fairways were in their usual excellent shape and were lush green carpet. The greens rolled somewhat fast and true. Really enjoyed our round and was proud to introduce some more golfers to RR. Will play again!
Las Vegas National Golf Course
Played On 04/02/2018GREAT DAY AT NATIONAL
Great round at National! The price was right with one of Golf Now’s Hot Deals and the weather was perfect. 75 to 80 and no clouds. Nice little breezes too. Started right on time and paired with a nice couple from Buffalo New York and a local single. Had to share cart with single but turned out to be a nice guy and good golfer so made round more fun then riding solo.
Course was in great shape and the pace was good with waiting only on a hand full of holes. Greens were a little tricky then I recall from previous rounds at this gorgeous and historic track. Even though its lined with houses that are interesting mid century and others that could use a little work the fairways are generous and remind me of old school track I use to play in Los Angeles. The terrain is different than most Las Vegas desert tracks with no “natural desert environment areas” and has plenty of trees and flush fairways. Watch the short putts they can be deceiving and roll different then an initial read.
This track is worth a visit anytime one wants good value golf and challenging golf near downtown and the Strip. Will visit again and enjoy again I am sure.
Painted Desert Golf Club
Played On 03/08/2018LOTS OF TRAPS LITTLE SAND
This was my 2nd time playing this track. Its a nice typical Las Vegas track with homes on both sides of just about every fairway. The fairways were nice in the middle with plenty of grass but the perimeters were lightly covered with new growth grass and some hardpan which produced some very tight lies and caused some drives to run a little excessively into rocky areas or into a trap.
The greens were fast and rolled pretty true with a typical amount of ball marks and imperfections. The problem with this track is the sand in the greenside and fairway bunkers is very rocky and hard. It is very difficult to blast one’s way out or judge how the ball is going to react in such hard conditions. Some of the traps seemed to lack any sand at all and were just rocky.
The fairways are a little narrow for my liking and its best to run the ball up to the flag rather then try to stick it with such tight lies and hard greens. Pretty good course for the money and location, however good use a little refinement.
Las Vegas National Golf Course
Played On 01/23/2018Good Old Fashion Golf
Vegas National played its usual good conditions with medium green speed again. GReens could have been a little faster, after playing some " desert courses", these caused me to leave a few putts short. Fairways and rough in usual good and penal conditions. ENjoyed round and the course again. Staff could be little more friendly and smile more. THanks
Los Prados Golf Course
Played On 01/07/2018Short but Still a Challange
Nice short layout between houses. Sometimes the routing was a bit twisty and a far distance from green to next tee box. It was a bit long with 3 minute rides between holes and needed signs to find way around. Approach shots were all important and must keep ball below the hole. The challenge is in the putting.
Most Pars fours were under 350 yards but had tricky greens and blind tee shot or approach. We enjoyed the round and would play again.
Black Mountain Golf & Country Club - Founders/Desert Course
Played On 12/16/2017Nice course
Nice course and played fast. Fairways were a little brown in spots but greens putted well and had fun.
Las Vegas National Golf Course
Played On 12/10/2017Late Start but got in 16 Holes
Saw a great deal on Golf Now for $10.00 plus booking fee and hd to grab it. Glad I did. Arrived at ourse 20 mins before 1:00 tee time but was told of frost delay from that morning so had to wait 20 extra mins.
Once stated round went great at a good pace. Started off on 10th for times sake and worked out great. Greens were in good shape with very few ball marks and rolling fast and true. The greens also held most well hit approach shots but a couple rejected ones that should have held.
Was paired with a couple of out of towners who also enjoyed the course. Good deal for the money I would have gladly paid more. Will return!
Rhodes Ranch Country Club
Played On 12/03/2017Windy
Course was in pretty good shape. Very windy day made played difficult. Was a Sunday and greens e a little beat up from numerous weekend rounds. COurse was well watered and manicured. however greens a little slow could use a good close cut and roll.

Westchester Golf Course
Played On 06/27/2014No Alert of Gren Condition
Course was in farily good shape however there was no warning of greens being aerated. It would be best if only half of green were done at a time so that pin placemants would be n smooth area.
