Yeah, ive played a fair amount of the old course.. LVGC included. for most of them it's once you've played them, you dont need to play them again.
Checking in from Las Vegas, NV

The guys in places like Wisconsin and Canada are going to hate that comment. But welcome to THP. As for Vegas courses. I haven't played enough courses there yet to form an opinion on a favorite.

Christopher,
Welcome!
I live out in Summerlin. Typically play Eagle Crest, Highland Falls, or Palm Valley. All are in Sun City technically, have a lot of seniors, but are typically in fantastic shape. Great community feel and friendly. Lots of locals who actually care for their courses and repair ball marks and divots (mostly). Below is a pic from yesterday at Highland which just opened from overseeding. It’s one of my favs!
Arroyo is a great course, Siena is so-so, and I pretty much avoid Angle Park due to unfriendly staff, high turnover of visitors from the Strip, and higher fees. Played LVGC and I like it, another is Painted Desert which can be a little pricey at times, but it’s fun.
Anyway. See ya around!

I couldnt agree with you more. I've played Gold Summerlin about 4 times this year, (Eagle Crest and Highland Falls), Those two are a great buy, usually around $35 for a local afternoon round.
I've played Arroyo about 4 times this year too. It's a shorter course but i think its dynamic. It's usually in great shape. Siena is hit or miss and i'm not impressed.
Just played Painted Desert last weekend. It's in good shape. It runs a little slow on the weekends but for $40 not bad at all.
I'm an OB card holder so i spend a fair amount of time a Angel Park and Durango hills, (only courses in town that recognize the OB card anymore). They do pack it in over at Angel but i do enjoy Palms course a couple of times a year. The best is to play on a weekday there. I play Cloud 9, (their par 3 course) quite a bit for the short game.
Welcoe to THP! I need to start bringing my clubs more often with me on Vegas trips. I'll be there next weekend, and again 2 weeks later. Unfortunately, they're both wife type trips and I again won't be bringing my clubs. I haven't really played much of the nicer courses in Vegas. We do an annual Superbowl trip, but usually stick to the cheaper courses. Highland and Angel Park Mountain are usually our go-to's.
