This Jack Nicklaus course is a real treat but be prepared for a long drive to get to it. Located about one hour from Las Vegas or one hour from Mesquite, it is literally out in the middle of nowhere. It was built in the boom years right before the big bust in the housing market around 2007. Consequently, there are no homes around the course and the clubhouse is temporary trailer-type buildings. I hope this course can stay in business. That said, this is a course worth traveling too. The course was in great shape and a typical Nicklaus design with greens a bit perched up and protected by bunkers. However, I would rate this Nicklaus course as more friendly and forgiving than others of his I have played. The fairways are generous enough so that shots that end up in the desert are really your fault. There are a few green complexes that border on the the insane but that is a typical Nicklaus trademark. Nice lakes! Pick the correct tees and you should be able to score well - unless the winds kick up!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
