The Falls Golf Club, CLOSED 2009

Detailed description of The Falls Golf Club, CLOSED 2009

The Falls Golf Club is a Resort, 18 hole golf course located in Henderson, Nevada.

The Falls Golf Club first opened for play in 2002. The course was designed by Tom Weiskopf.

The Falls Golf Club is one of two 18-hole golf courses located at The Resort at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson.

Combining large elevation changes with waterfalls and lush scenery, Tom Weiskopf designed a challenging and attractive course at Lake Las Vegas. The Resort at Lake Las Vegas is already a top destination for golfers planning a Las Vegas vacation. The addition of this breathtaking course should only increase its popularity. Located in Henderson, The Falls is one of two resort courses situated on the beautiful but steep topography surrounding the lake.

Reflection Bay, the resort's highly touted Jack Nicklaus designed course, is contained mainly to the lower portion of the land. The Falls, however, roams through desert floor and up and down the mountains. The course's name is derived from the streams, gullies and waterfalls that flow throughout the course. The course's back nine may be its trump card. The par-5 12th hole curves through a narrow pass that leads to breathtaking view of the Valley floor. Over the next two holes Weiskopf throws down the gauntlet with over 100 feet of elevation changes. This stretch of holes is regarded as one of the most gorgeous and treacherous in Nevada.

The Falls Golf Club measures 7,250 yards from the tips for a par of 72. The course rating is 74.7 and the slope rating is 136.

The Falls Golf Club closed in 2009.
