$76 (cart included), played on Thursday, October 2011 at noon
Course is about 50 miles NE of Vegas, and at this point, there is nothing else there but the course, no houses, stores, gas stations, NOTHING! I got conflicting stories as to when they will start building around the course, but one of the reasons I liked this track was it was just the course and the scenery and nothing else. The overall course conditions were excellent. We were told one of the characteristics of a Nickulas signature course was the lack of flat lies. This was definately true here, lots of undulating fairways and flat lies were at a preimum. As for the greens, all agreed they were fast and tricky to read and really messed with your mind, but were in great condition and rolled true. One person commented that the track was more difficult than Wolf Creek in Mesquite. Not sure this was the case myself, but for $99 weekday afternoon on season rate, was absolutely worth the trip and an excellent deal compared to most tracks in Vegas. The only knock I would have is the lack of a club house and true pro shop (all in trailers for now)but would absolutely play here again.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level
