Black Mountain Golf & Country Club - Founders/Desert Course
Played On 12/01/2015Nice little course good value
I've played here about 10 times over the past year. The course used to be bad about 7 years ago but has improved a lot.
For my recent round, they told me they don't overseed anymore to save water. So the fairways and spots in the roughs are brown dormant bermuda. This has been a great plan because when I played in the summer the bermuda was lush and green. Now its not pretty to look at but still plays well and you get an extra 20 yds of roll with the dormant fairways. Rough is down as well with all the cart traffic. Its interesting to read previous reviewers who don't seem to understand brown is ok on a golf course. Living in the SW we haven't had a normal rainfall/snow pack in several years.
The greens are small in size and hard to hit, and they are putting very quick, maybe around 11 on a stimpmeter. Unfortunately, and this is seen on a lot of golf courses, golfers are NOT fixing their ballmarks so they are evident here during the winter. Ball still rolls good. Fix your ballmarks people!!!!
Traps need to be renovated as the sand is not good. Other than that, great value at $30.
Snow Mountain at Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort
Played On 11/09/2015Absolutely beautiful course on a tough windy day
When you decide to play Paiute, you know there's a good chance it will be windy. This day we played in a tournament, and the winds were blowing a steady 35 mph all day long. Tough conditions. Ball stayed put on greens though, so very playable.
The entire course is in the best condition I've seen. Its always been great, but it was about as perfect as I've ever seen it. I guess since I won the Low Net, I can't complain. But I know golf, and golf course conditions, and these were incredible.
Arroyo Golf Club
Played On 11/07/2015Great improvements in the course
The previous time I played here was about 5 years ago and the course had some issues with conditioning, and heavy play. Fast forward to this year. Played with a group of 8 friends for a birthday celebration. The golf course was in great shape. Greens had some issues with golfers not fixing ballmarks, and some spike marks, but other than that they rolled very good. They had just overseeded and the roughs were a good 3" deep so that made missing the fairway *which I did often) a real challenge. Overall this place has improved a lot since the new golf course management team has come on board.
DragonRidge Golf Course
Played On 05/06/2015Excellent golf course
I've played here many times, since they first opened til this round. Today the course was in excellent condition and played beautifully.
There are some beautiful holes here, with great views of the valley and strip. The back 9 has a couple of weird holes that I don't quite like the design of.
Overall this is a fun course to play, in excellent shape.
Las Vegas Country Club
Played On 04/08/2015Beautiful old style course
I've played this course several times over the past 2 years and since they completed the renovations and greens rebuilding back in 2010. The course has always been in excellent condition. Greens run quick and true. Old style design with grass wall to wall. Some large trees line many of the fairways and if you hit it offline you will have to be inventive. Water comes into play on several holes, including 17 and 18 so those holes can turn a match around fast.
It's private, and occasionally they have play deals with local hotels and casinos.
