Playing Conditions 6.90 GOOD
Playing Conditions 6.90 GOOD

Played on Friday, 9/7, with John_T. We were looking for a round while most courses are closed for re-seeding and found plenty open times at Sunrise.

Conditions were excellent tee to green. Relatively flat and damage free tee boxes. Rough was varied from about 1 inch to over 3 in some areas. Bunkers had some of the best sand in the valley and easy to hit out. Fairways were lush, with some wet, soggy areas. The greens! Oh my gawd, the greens. Simply phenomenal. Absolutely no sign of aerating 2 weeks ago. Smooth as glass, very little amount of ball marks, and running medium speed but sped up as the day warmed. Just incredible conditions for the end of summer in Vegas.

Only complaint: they started us on 10, behind a Men’s group scramble when the front 9 looked empty. We caught them in a few holes and slowed to a 2:15ish time. Men’s group only played 9 and we played the front in a casual 1:30.

Here’s the incredible part: we paid $29 local rate, which included $10 credit in the Winterwood Grille. I only wish it wasn’t such a difficult drive for me from the far Northwest. Sunrise is being added to the rotation.

We’ve waited all year for the results, and the results are in.  Greenskeeper.org proudly presents it’s Best Playing Conditions Awards for 2018.

Greenskeeper.org’s registered trademark and creed, “Know Before You Go”®, centers on communicating these current playing conditions. The rating system used on Greenskeeper.org is in part created by superintendents.  Greenskeeper.org views it’s Best Playing Conditions Awards as it’s highest honors.

WOW what a fantastic course! My buddy hurt his back and had to skip out so hit up MPisarski01 who was more than happy to join me for an awesome round.

Conditions were a solid 9 all around. This place is absolutely awesome! Kevbig summed up the initial experience perfectly in That you go through a private gate, get your car parked by the valet who also takes care of your clubs. The entrance is the best bar none. There’s a waterfall that comes off the mountain and down into, through then under the clubhouse.

After checking in, I headed to the locker room where I had a locker with my own name plate on it. It’s a good thing I was decked out in my Ryder Cup outfit to look the part. Locker room has full amenities ( TV’s, shower, razors, waters, etc). Our caddie was decent. He had his hands full keeping track of 3 of us and did a decent job. When there’s three players it’s hard for him to take care of everyone’s clubs so the single player got more of that service than we did.

Course is so fun you forget how challenging it actually is. Uphill tee shots are into the wind but downhill tee shots are with the wind and oh so FUN!

Greens were nice and fast with minimal undulations.

Definitely a top notch facility well worth playing!

Was joined by rgm2525 and dangerousbri for my second round of golf on Wednesday in Vegas. I heard the conditions were good but did not expect them as nice as we encountered for a municipal course.
On the 6th hole I noticed a course staffer with his small dog (lola) roll up on us and stop to chat. Turns out it was the Superintendent Scott Sutton. I came to learn the entire course, even the greens, with exception to some bermuda turf lining the wash that runs through the course, is all paspalum. Paspalum is the super lush turf some of you may have experienced at Olivas Links or Buenaventura recently. It’s very salt and heat resistant plus provides a beautiful playing surface through the green. What I did not realize was how nice paspalum can also be for a putting surface as well. It’s easy at first when playing a paspalum green to mistake it for bermuda grass (as we did) but when you come to realize everything putts true and there is NO grain to decipher when reading putts, you are pleasantly surprised. The greens ran slower than they looked but we were told this was only because Scott had his crew double verticut the greens that day.
In regards to the rest of the conditions they are completely lush fairways, tees and rough. Good quality sand in the bunkers although there are stools (base roots of paspalum) invading the edges of the bunkers. As far as layout, it’s a very straight forward, flat, no frills, conducive to quick pace of play, relaxing course. It’s surrounded by a local lower income neighborhood with houses on most holes left and the wash on the right. It has a beautiful small clubhouse, excellent service and facilities.
Given its exceptional conditions, pace of play and affordability I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a great deal and relaxing round of golf.

Played here in the morning of Tuesday, 6/14 with sixpez. It was sort of a preview round in advance of the course’s July 1 opening. The conditions are very nice and definitely look ready for opening day. The greens were very smooth, somewhat firm and rolling medium/medium fast. Fairways are good except for a few rare spots that have seem to be having trouble growing in. The rough was pretty good condition but not too penal. A little longer rough along the edge of the wash might be preferred to help balls stay out of the hazard. Tee boxes were good. Bunkers were excellent.

Layout-wise, this is the type of course that seems so easy yet it’s actually somewhat difficult, especially if you have trouble hitting the ball straight. Nearly every hole has the wash on the right, and many have OB left, so those elements factor into every shot. The course looks wide open, but because the fairways are elevated well above the wash, you can’t really let the ball leak right much at all, or it tumbles down the hill into the wash. There’s not much visual definition on the course, so again it appears more wide open than it plays.

Why Did We Expand the Regions?

It’s simple.  Greenskeeper.org has been growing.  We expanded the number of regions because golfers like you have reported about golf course conditions in more places you play.  In short golfers come to us if they want informative, relevant golf course reviews and it’s all due to your, our GK Community’s, diligence.  You let us know your experiences and well if we hear about it everyone else does too.

Why so Many Regions?

Golf is an experience and every experience is unique.  Different golf courses offer different experiences.  What we look for in golf course reviews offers a little insight into every golf course we play.  Not just one point of view but many, and by providing many different points of view you get a clearer picture of what each golf course has to offer.  To that end we felt it necessary to provide regions with their own highlighted golf course.  Local players can enjoy the fact there is a great facility they can play just around their corner.  Golfers looking to experience new golf courses can play these and experience first-hand these unique golf experiences. Put simply, we allow not just your high-end. daily fee courses to shine but the local municipal as well.  They all deserve a fair shot and they all deserve to shine.

Look for additional Golf Course highlights from our Worth the Green Fee for 2016.
