When it comes to golf, what stays in Vegas might be too much of your money. With its bevy of ultra-exclusive courses, Las Vegas is the most expensive golf market in the United States. But your cash does not have to be wasted. For every Shadow Creek (though worth every penny, it`s still $500 a round), you have numerous less expensive options from which to choose. This book is written by a Las Vegas golfer and golf writer, not a PR spin doctor, a corporate bean counter, or an ego-driven developer. Nearly 60 courses, from Las Vegas to Mesquite, from Pahrump to Primm, from Boulder City to Laughlin and Arizona, are described, rated, praised, and sometimes deflated. They are all laid out for you within these pages, from the money-be-damned this-place-is-worth-every-cent tracks to a few courses best left to those who don`t know any better. And since you have to come to Vegas to golf in Vegas, you will also find in-depth recommendations for the best places to bunk and sure-fire eats, along with a golf bag full of tips on preparing for and enjoying your Sin City golf adventure. Visitor or local, first-timer or veteran, this book will put you 3-up before you even leave the locker room.
