Played on Friday, 8/10, with a 7am tee time. Joined by John_T, Famed02, and Andy.drew621, using the phenomenal GK coupon, which cut the price in almost half.
Arrived around 6:20 and told the tee box was ours whenever we wanted it but there was a high school qualifier going out as soon as we teed. Paid and headed out, joined by a local to make a 5some. He was great, has a house overlooking the 7th green/8th tee area, and joined in on the trash talking. Only saw the drink cart once.
Tees and fairways were incredible. Fairways like carpet, lush and dry with plenty of run. Rough was about 1-2 inches. Bunkers were fine. Greens were aerated in the last week, not with the small tines they said on the phone, so they were sandy and bumpy. I can never get here when they are good.
Overall, LOVE this course. Awesome views. Great conditions (if I can get here when the greens are pure). I’m willing to make the drive every couple of months.

Decided last minute to drive out for the GK Event on 7/15 after some convincing by JohnnyGK and mpisarski01. I was at first skeptical about playing anywhere in Laughlin, let alone in July with the heat, but I’m extremely happy I did. Laughlin Ranch is a hidden gem and rivals many of the Palm Springs course at a much better price. I will be playing here anytime I’m close.
Mpisarski01, Kevbig, and teed of first just after 7. It was muggy but manageable with some lingering cloud cover with the storms from then night before. Considering how much it rained conditions were amazing and improved as the course dried out. Tee boxes were lush green and for the most part very flat. Fairways were almost perfect carpet like grass. I dont think I had a bad lie all day.
Rough was short and not very penal. The only time we had any trouble was if you were off in the dirt which was very soft and soaked from the rains. The only real negative to speak of all day was the bunkers. Some had a decent amount of small rocks but really weren’t all to bad. Hard to tell what they are normally like because they were still very wet.
The grounds crew were not able to cut the greens before we played due to the overnight monsoons but the still looked great and roll true. They were pretty slow and soft but not to the fault of the crew at Laughlin Ranch. All in all a beautiful and challenging track that I cant wait to play again. This place is a steal for the price and conditions, two thumbs up!

Was a super fun GK Plays outing despite only 14 players and I thank everyone that came!
I had not played Laughlin Ranch since January and then it was a very nice conditioned rye turf course. This time around it would be a bermunda turf course. Not all golf courses transition well from rye to bermunda and vice-versa….I can safely to say Laughlin Ranch Golf Club transitions phenomenally. The course was lush bermunda everywhere. I only wish the night before the course did not get slammed by monsoons since this caused the maintenance to not be able to cut the greens that morning before our round. Hence we had slow surfaces to play however they rolled true and held shots great. Another thing worth noting is the golf course is currently doing a bunker renovation filling in some traps, reshaping and turning sand. Last time out that was not taking place yet. It’s an eye sore at times but nothing that significantly impacts play.
As far as an outing host, fantastic. The staff is great to work with and even handled a late night pairing change effortlessly. All the golf carts were staged correctly and afterwards we had ample room in their SLATE restaurant (delicious appropriately priced food). I liked how the driving range and practice putting green are perfectly position to both the 1st and 10th tees. The entire property is themed “Gold Miner” with authentic old mining equipment used as decorations throughout. Really brings a fun ambiance to the place.

GK will for sure be having another outing here. Maybe even as soon as early next year.
Posted some photos…check them out. Also compare them to the January photos I posted to get an idea of how different the golf course looks from Winter to Summer yet still awesome.
Highly Recommended.
