Sorry if this is a dumb question. When booking a resident rate for a Las Vegas golf course on golfnow, will they allow a non-resident to play with a resident for the advertised rate, or will there be two separate rates?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll book it that way, and if they ask if he's a resident, I'll just cross that bridge when or if it happens.

My suggestion Dump Alliante and Palm Valley and substitute Badlands for sure and either Rhodes Ranch or Tuscany keeping in mind your budget and GN or a Revere Course or Pauite from GN are great choices

Thanks for your help, To go along with my mesquite trip I ended up booking Rhodes Ranch $56, Paiute Snow $51, I also signed up for a tourney at LVN (first one ever)

That wed is and open day and was wondering Silverstone, Tuscany or Angel Park (i heard good things), Other?

Of the three choices Tuscany for sure. One of my favorites and not that difficult. Nice finishing hole. Angel Park last choice. Try and get badlands youll enjoy that

Any must plays?
I've played a handful of courses over the years.
Primm worth the drive? Or typical Fazio layout?

I Think Badlands is a must but for me there are so many musts. If I had to pick one course in the Vegas area it would be Wolf Creek

Mesquite too far for a day trip?
Badlands I haven't played, will look into it.

Badlands is meh, Brown Keeper try to get on Cascata, its a drive but well worth it. Other direction Pauite Wolf is solid. If you can use a club connection I like Dragon Ridge a lot (private), also Rio Secco.

I have had the pleasure of Cascata, but maybe I'll play it again though.

I booked my time for Las Vegas National at 3:10 on this Thursday. Cant beat $39 on Golf Now.

If anyone is in the area and wants to play...It'd be great to have some company, I will be a single, although from everything I've read, Im sure to be paired up with an old timer who will regal me with stories from the Rat Pack era. I hope this is true...I eat that **** up.

My buddies and I want to drive up from Phoenix sometime this Summer, maybe late Spring for a golfing trip (and obviously a little gambool). We would like to stay off the strip, but probably near it. Any ideas or recommendations on where to stay and where to golf? We know we are gonna golf at TPC. But we will probably golf a couple more times. Thanks for any advice

if you know you're gonna play TPC las vegas, stay in summerlin. the suncoast and the rampart are perfect. if you stay there, you'll save a ton on cab rides. TPC las vegas is 5 minutes away and badlands and angel park are literally across the street.

then, you've got another 5-6 courses to choose from all within 15 minutes. paiute is about 20-25 minutes down the highway.
