Lake Havasu Golf Club, West Course

Detailed description of Lake Havasu Golf Club, West Course

Lake Havasu Golf Club, previously named London Bridge Golf Club, is a Semi-Private, 36-hole golf course located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The facility has two 18-hole courses; they are The Nassau Course often called The East Course, and The Olde London Course, also known as The West Course. Both courses offer fantastic views of the lake and are just a mile or two from downtown.

Lawrence M. Hughes designed both courses. The older of the two courses is The Olde London Course. Construction on the course started in 1965 with the front nine opening in 1967 and the back nine 1969. Jack Snyder redesigned four holes in 1984. The Nassau Course opened for play in 1977.

The Olde London Course _______________

The Olde Course is the more difficult of the two. Water hazards come into play on six holes, and numerous sand bunkers have been incorporated throughout the entire course design. The signature hole is #10, a 385-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee to a fairway featuring a sand bunker in the center (located 260 yards out), then an accurate approach shot to a well-bunkered green with a pond protecting the front.

Olde London has a traditional layout with numerous water hazards and sand bunkers throughout the entire course.

Blue tees: par-71, 6,618 yards, 70.9 / 122

White tees: par-71, 6,298 yards, 68.9 / 120

Red tees: par-71, 5,756 yards, 73.5 / 133

The Nassau Course _______________

Although shorter at its maximum yardage of 6140, it is only slightly easier than The Olde Course. The Nassau course features narrow fairways and medium-sized greens that are fast and well-bunkered. Water comes into play on #s 9, 10, & 11.

Built mainly to the North and East of the Olde London course, The Nassau Course offers many elevation changes that provide fabulous views of Lake Havasu and the surrounding city.

The London Bridge Nassau Course has narrow fairways lined by houses. The greens are medium-sized and fast.

Blue tees: par-72, 6,140 yards, 70.9 / 118

White tees: par-72, 5,757yards, 67.1 / 115

Red tees: par-72, 5,045 yards, 68.2 / 111

Overseeding is staggered between the two courses. When the course being seeded is closed, the other remains open.
