Want to be treated like a king for the price of a lord? Then this is the place to play. I`m what you would call an economy golfer but in this case an out-of-town friend wanted to play some golf but not on the municipal courses I usually play.

I had heard a lot about this course and was told it was a very reasonable price for the quality of the course. It`s a bit far from the strip but worth the trip and probably why it`s not as expensive as some of the other courses that are closer to the Strip.

Arriving at the course I pulled into the parking lot and the bag drop was right there so I didn`t have to traipse across a parking lot with my clubs. Make sure you get there well before your tee-time so that you can take advantage of the practice range where you will find range balls stacked up and ready to hit some practice shots. All the stalls are on turf so you can really get the feel.

There are a lot of fantastic holes with lots of hitting up-hill as well as down-hill. The course is very well maintained and lots of fun. The greens were a lot of fun as they were fast but not really fast.

The course is a par-72 and it`s kind of short even from the tips at just under 7000 yards and just over 5600 yards from the forward tees. There are four sets of tees that accommodate golfers of any level.

The ninth hole was one of my favorites. It`s a par four that hits downhill where your second shot is over water to the green. Make sure you get a good tee shot or you will be hitting a long shot to the green over that water.

As is typical with Las Vegas courses, this course is pretty wide open and although there aren`t many holes that are side-by-side with other holes, most of the holes are pretty forgiving. Still though, if you have a wicked slice then you are going to be donating balls to the home owners all along the course.

Many of the holes have sand protecting the greens but fortunately the sand traps are pretty well maintained with enough sand that you aren`t hitting off of what feels like concrete.

The course usually isn`t packed solid so you can usually get a round in in under four hours. Overall it`s a really fun course to play and if you are looking for something that isn`t quite the name of say Bali Hai but has a quality layout then this is an ideal course.
