The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
One of the top private clubs in Nevada, a lush, parkland-style departure from typical desert Vegas with elaborate ink-blot bunkering, real elevation change and immaculate conditioning. Strategy and bunker placement matter more than raw length, and the caddie-required, white-glove vibe is part of the appeal.
Consistently praised
- Distinctive bunkering and Carolina-pines look that feels unlike the rest of Vegas.
- Elevation drops, including the much-talked-about tee perched well above its fairway; first-class conditioning and clubhouse.
Worth knowing
- Access is the hurdle; essentially invitation only, with required caddies.
Golfers recommend
- Take the caddie’s read seriously; reviewers say it saves several strokes.
- Play strategically off the tee; misses are punished but not brutally.
