Aliante Golf Club




Aliante is an exciting and challenging course that stretches more than 7,000 yards from the back tees. The presence of the meandering arroyo that comes into play on 14 holes causes the golfer to feel slightly elevated, providing interesting contours and unique playing lies and angles. The course is highlighted by numerous landscaping features, generous landing areas, and strategic use of trees that are not commonly found in most desert courses, such as Pear and Purple Locust trees.


Aliante Golf Club also boasts an inviting clubhouse that features a well-appointed golf shop, grill, bar and an event pavilion with views of the golf course and surrounding mountains. Aliante Golf Club is professionally managed by OB Sports Golf Management - www.obsports.com. Tee times can be booked on-line - visit the Aliante website by clicking on the link near the top of this page.

Desert Pines

Another great course I love in Vegas is Desert Pines.

I've played it several times in the last few years....one of my favorites....(I have a lot of favorites if you can't tell)

What I really like is all the pine trees....who would have thought that pine trees grow in Las Vegas!

Lots of water as well. I always seam to lose lots of balls on this course when I'm having an off day.

In fact watch out for hole #3. Lots of bunkers and water to keep you busy.

Its only about 10 or 15 minutes from the strip as well. I've played it in the dead heat of summer a few times when the crowds are a lot less.

Here is the address if you want to check it out..... 3415 E. Bonanza Rd / Las Vegas, NV 89101

Tuscany Golf Club in Henderson


A few months back my wife and I golfed at Tuscany Golf Club in Henderson. A pretty new course which opened in 2003.
What a treat.
What does the Tuscany Golf Club look like? Well it looks like Tuscany! It even includes an little Village.
The course has an amazing 68 bunkers........The 18th hold was a monster. 440-yard par 4......and no I didn't get par.
My wife still talked about Tuscany in Henderson. I think that is where she broke in her new clubs she got for Christmas.
