Henderson, Nevada Golf Course Reviews
Tuscany G.C. is a wine-themed layout from start to finish with tee marker names like Verde, Lilla, Rossa and Giallo; wine barrels serving as tee signs; and wine cork bag tags. So sit back, pour a nice glass of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam and enjoy your next round. But don't just play golf. Like a fine wine, savor the experience. Chances are you'll be back for more.
Looking for a great round of golf at an affordable price? And at a 27-hole golf facility in Vegas? That's right, in Vegas. Then Black Mountain Golf and Country Club should be on your upcoming play list, Bill Bowman writes.
After the first hole at the Revere Golf Club's Lexington Course, you'll probably wish you had a panoramic camera, Mike Bailey writes. For as far as the eye can see, there are the Black Mountains, providing the backdrop not only to the course but Las Vegas and the Strip as well.
It doesn't take more than a couple holes to realize Tiger Woods' course record 64 at Rio Secco Golf Club is probably safe. This Las Vegas gem is one bruiser of a golf course, Brandon Tucker writes.
When the Falls Golf Club, the third course in the spectacular Lake Las Vegas Resort, opened in 2002, the front nine merely served as a prelude to what awaited golfers when they hit the slopes of the more dramatic back nine. But that was six years ago. Since then, the course and its surrounding development have matured, and designer Tom Weiskopf has returned to add a few touches here and there.
At Rio Secco Golf Club, you have to not only find the greens, but the right portion of the greens. Get above the hole, and a two-putt in many cases is almost impossible. Put it in a really bad place, and a four-putt is a possibility, even for skilled players. "It's a tough challenge, but fair," Head Golf Professional Charles Packard said. "The biggest challenge comes on the greens."
The 27-hole Black Mountain Golf & Country Club was founded in 1957, making it the third oldest golf course in the Las Vegas area. "It's a very traditional style club," said Joan Philips, director of golf at the Henderson facility. "The members here have always been very relaxed, and it's very affordable."
Billy Casper's playing skills have largely outpaced his work in designing courses, though that's not obvious to those who play at Revere Golf Club in Henderson, Nevada. That's because Casper and partner Greg Nash designed a marvelous 36-hole Las Vegas-area facility that leaves you wanting more. The courses fit the surroundings perfectly and look as if they were natural outgrowths instead of man-made designs.
Located approximately 20 minutes south of the Las Vegas Strip, DragonRidge Golf Club was designed by the team of Jay Morrish and David Druzisky, who took the rocky desert landscape and carved the course through the land's rugged hills and valleys. Best of all, DragonRidge's back nine holes have plenty of black lava rock and feature more gambling options than a parlay bet at Caesar's sports book.
