Golf Tips for Beginners

Las Vegas Area Golf Course-Siena Golf Club The Siena Golf Club is a popular golf club that places you in the famous Summerlin neighborhood. One golfer who played Siena made this comment about the Summerlin neighborhood, "the biggest problem with the course is the proximity of homes on almost all holes. A wayward shot will easily end up in someones backyard so be careful." I've played similar courses with homes very close to the fairways and you do have to be extremely careful with your drives. But I never saw it as a problem, but rather another challenge. The same golfer went on to say, "on the day we visited the course was in quite poor condition and play was very slow, so much so that we abandoned the game after 14 holes." Now that kind of a review bothered me, but as I continued to do research, I found that others found the course in great condition and the pace of play fine. It is a possibility that it may have been the time of year when the courses suffer f...

Aliante Golf Club The Aliante Golf Club is located in the North Las Vegas Area, which places it about 20 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. It was built in 2003 and was selected by the Vegas Golfer Magazine as the "Best New Course in Las Vegas". I couldn't find a whole lot of comments by people that have played this course but I did manage to find a few. One player said, "Aliante is a little out of the way, but it was well worth the trip." And another made this comment, "Nothing to write home about, but worth the price of admission for sure." Golf Course Features The course is a par-72, 7,022-yard layout. It was designed by renowned architect Gary Panks and it is managed by OB Sports Golf Management. You are surrounded by spectacular views of desert and of the Sheep Mountains and their 10,000-foot peaks. There are four sets of tee boxes, all having their own names: Eagle, Falcon, Hawk and Dove. The yardages range from 7,022 to 5,340 yards. One golfer made...

The "Wynn"-A Fabulous Las Vegas Area Golf Course The Wynn Golf Club or the Wynn Golf and Country Club, is one of only two Golf courses on the Las Vegas strip. The other is called Bali Hai Golf Club. Unfortunately, this course is a private golf course, but you can play it if you are a guest at the Wynn Hotel Casino. How much does it cost to play? If you have $500, you can play. I did come across an insider secret! There are times when you can play the Wynn during the middle of the week without having to be a guest AND midweek golf is lower in price. (Not sure what the lower price is though). I cannot guarantee nor verify that tip, but I thought I’d pass it on to you. If you know more about it, let us all know. Features of the “Wynn” This is a fairly new golf course. It opened for play in 2005. It sits on top of the historic Desert Inn Golf Club. The landscape of the Wynn Golf Club features waterfalls, streams and a forest of trees. Some of the comments that I read online menti...
