What a disappointment! You pay top dollar and expect a great layout commensurate with what you paid. Big disappointment. The last four holes where in awful shape. You could not play the fairways on 17 & 18. The back nine over all condition was horrible.
The front nine was in a little better shape, but not by much. The front nine is routed thru houses and upscale apartment complexes. So it is pretty bland.
Of course the pro shop neglected to tell us about the course condition. They still had the gall to charge us $175.00 to play this goat track. When I went to tell them about how disappointed I was with the condition, the fact that I was not forewarned that the course was in seriously adverse shape and the price was not justified due to course conditions, the asst. pro said, "sorry". It would have been nice to have management acknowledge the problem and make some attempt to rectify the problem. A partial refund or a "rain check" for "if and when" the course is returned to 1st class condition would have been justified and help to rectify a lousy golf experience.
Bottom line, DO NOT PLAY HERE!!!! There are other courses in the Las Vegas area that are much better and with staffs that treat a $175 golfer in a manner that makes you know that they would like you as a continuing customer. 1st class golf is available at this price in Las Vegas, just not at Red Rock.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
Condition of Course, Price, Ambiance, Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Staff
