Heading to Vegas in late Sept. Looking for course recommendations -
pace of play probably most important factor. Nobody wants a 6 hour
round. Also, can't be too tough - group ranges from 10-25 handicaps.
Distance is a factor but we'll have a car. Cost isn't a big factor (as
I figure the $500/round courses are (luckily) too tough anyway).
Thanks for your input

I personally would head north, play the Paiute courses, on your way to
Mesquite.
Several great courses there, and very reasonable golf packages. One
hour drive
from LV.

I've played many courses there...the only place I had a place of play
problem was Painted Desert.
My favorite courses are both at Primm Valley...about an hour
south of 'Vegas. They have two very different courses there.
If you're up for it, they give you a price discount if you play
them both the same day. Also, if you're staying at an MGM
property, you get a price break.
I would also second the suggestion to play Paiute.
One thing to watch for.. I believe many course close for overseeding
in mid to late September.
Have fun!

I second this one. I've only played the Lakes course but I have never
failed to have a great time there. They treat you like a king and whenever
I've played there (about 4 different occasions) the course was in immaculate
condition.

"Nobody wants a 6 hour round."
On the contrary.......anything that keeps you crapstains out of the
general population for 6 hours, I support.
