Golf Course Review Aliante Golf Club North Las Vegas Nevada
Reviewed by: rob1563, Las Vegas
Played on Saturday, 2/23; following a few days of snow and freezing weather. 8am tee time which was pushed back to just after 9 due to a frost delay. We were second out and cruised around with a 3:30 Pace of Play (POP). We never saw anyone in front or behind us.
The Review
![Golf Playing Conditions 6.67 GOOD](https://i0.wp.com/blog.greenskeeper.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/playing-conditions-6-67.png?resize=221%2C221&ssl=1)
Course was in decent shape considering the cold weather with rain and snow the last few weeks.
Tee boxes mostly level. There was a little amount of divot damage. But a weird marker placement on the par3 #4, with the markers all the way in the back of the box with a significant uphill lie was my only complaint.
Fairways are close cut; mostly dormant Bermuda. Rough is also dormant Bermuda, but hasn’t been cut. So expect some chances of the ball settling down and some gnarly lies.
Bunkers have seen some improvement — from horrible in the past to average Vegas type sand.
I was expecting some firm, fast frozen greens with lots of roll, but found them receptive and a medium speed.
Parting Thoughts
I think Aliante gets a bad rap due to the residential neighborhood, but the houses are mostly out of play and not as narrow as people make it out to be. I find the course to be fun, only 2 holes really repeat (#6 and #12 have really similar looks), a nice variety of par 3s (from 100 to 200 yards), and a couple of risk/reward par 4s and go for it par 5s. While it’s not a destination course, it’s a nice local course to get out on.
