angel park is like the upscale muni out here, but i dig it. its usually well kept but gets a ton of play.

painted desert every hole seems dead straight and boring. not a fan of this course at all.

sienna has 45million bunkers but is a fairly nice course, however the out of town rate is WAY too high at it so I would pass.

rhodes plays pretty easy and isn't bad at all. have nothing good or bad to say about it i guess.

badlands from the back tees is a MF. nice course, go with it (just ask for the two OLD 9s that way you get to experience it how it was designed..the new 9 is very easy.)

Bears Best and TPC Las Vegas are in the area.

Both will be pretty expensive though.

if you want to drive a bit north up the 95 silverstone and paiute are up there..silverstone is sort of like rhodes, paiute is in the middle of the desert and absolutely amazing (my home course(s))

Yeah we played Pauite once a few years ago that was a treat. It has been on Golfnow and were hoping it is still there in May

We play a round in Primm also so we can hit the Outlet Mall

Bear's Best was great when I played it last week. Paid $150.

I had never seen so many rabbits and pigeons on a golf course than at Angel Park. It was also sloooooooooooooooooooooooow at just over 5 hours Friday afternoon.

Tuscany was alright out towards the lake. It has some elevation changes, and a few neat holes, though some are a little bland/straight.

Also thats what I like about Tuscany. Also nice finishing hole

Also, theres a hole on Palm (10 or 11 I believe, the par 4 with the water all along the left side and the hole tucked behind it) that has birds all over the left side of the fairway every single time.

Question about golf in Vegas....we have a group going out for a bachelor party at the end of April. There are 5 of us from the group that want to break away and get a round in Saturday morning. My question is, are there any public courses that allow for fivesomes? We don't really want to break up into groups of 2 and 3, we're thinking it would be lots more fun to all play together. We are leaning towards either Badlands or Las Vegas National (for its closeness to strip), but I don't think either will allow for all 5 of us to play together. Any suggestions are appreciated.

How is that Angels Park par 3 course? Anyone try it out at night? Seems like it'd be fun for my wife and I to do...

Also, what are some of the good walking courses around?

It's nice, but most of the holes are pretty short. Most if not all of the holes are supposed to be recreations of famous holes, if you like that sort of thing. Although it's lighted, it closes pretty early (8pm or 9pm I believe), and they only have 9 of the 12 holes lighted.

That is the only one I Know. Best rounds I like are in Mexico were you can walk but must take a caddy.

by the way, if there's anyone in Vegas who wants to play, hit me up - I need some golf buddies. I'd like to play every Sunday morning if I can...to keep it cheap, I'm going to walk Las Vegas Golf Club a lot, but i'm up for trying a more expensive course every now and then.

Aliante is only $35 after noon for locals...and that's with a cart
