As a birthday present, I've also played Shadow Creek. In a nutshell, while it is an amazingly lush property in the middle of the desert and you're treated like a king...it wasn't worth the $500 (back in 2004) IMHO. No clue what they want now, but since Wynn sold out anyone can get on if you're staying at one of the MGM properties. The one thing I did like, is that they don't let you drive to it and actually take you and pick you up in a limo.

Using the old 'Last Minute Golfer' (since merged with GolfNow), I played the TPC Vegas for under $100...and really enjoyed that.

Nope. The general area surrounding the junction of the NV, AZ, and UT borders is home to a number of FDLS compounds. They are fairly recognizable. Just think "Big Love!"

Other than it's a pretty small town and on the east side of it...you can step over into Arizona?

The public TPC course, The Canyons, or TPC Summerlin (private) where I was a member? Both are good courses.

The Canyons.

Heck, they were still sending me e-mails 5 years after I played.

Another overrated expensive course, IMHO...is Bali Hai. While the location can't be beat, it looks like any of the courses in southern FL.

Another of my favorites in the Vegas area is Cascata out toward Boulder City. While it might have been an unusual occurrence, it had some of the fastest greens I can ever recall playing. Thank goodness my caddie was pretty good, or I might have 3 or 4 putted half of the holes.

True about Bali Hai. I preferred Southern Hills.

If we're still talking the Vegas area, did you mean 'Southern Highlands?'

And yes, I love how they did the water features and plethora of little waterfalls everywhere.

That was also on Last Minute Golfer (even though it is supposedly private)...and was a bargain after noon.

Yes, thanks for the correction.

Del Webb has a community in Mesquite but TV has more to offer IMHO but I definitely considered Nevada/AZ before moving here.
