What to Expect
Expect a fun but challenging round that suits a variety of handicaps, although lower handicappers may find the back tees particularly demanding. Pay attention to water hazards on several holes, which can quickly complicate your round if you're not strategic with your club selection. The course's well-maintained grass types contribute to excellent playing conditions year-round, but be prepared for the Nevada heat—hydration and sun protection are a must. It’s a good idea to play a practice round if you're unfamiliar with the layout to avoid any surprises.
