After a fun first day in Vegas, I was back at it again on Thursday. The second round of the Greenskeeper.org get-together was slated for one of the area’s premier courses. It’s one I played before, but I would never turn down the opportunity to play it again at a really great price… Cascata •... Continue Reading →
August in Vegas, Day 1
August isn’t necessarily the best time to visit Las Vegas. Obviously, it can be dreadfully hot in the late summer. The weather can also be a bit unpredictable with occasional thunderstorms in the forecast. Flooding can even happen when a freak rain deluge comes through unexpectedly. The other concern this time of year is the... Continue Reading →
Vegas in June, Day 3
For our third day in Vegas, we started east and headed west with 45 more holes of golf played. It ended up being 126 holes of golf over three days, along with a few extra swings at Topgolf. We ended up with a pretty diverse selection of courses, as well. On Sunday, we started by... Continue Reading →
Vegas in June, Day 2
On day two of our most recent Vegas adventure, my friend and I spent the majority of the day on the west side of town. We played 45 holes and then worked our way back onto The Strip for a different kind of golf experience in the evening. We got started in the morning… Badlands... Continue Reading →
Vegas in June, Day 1
Over the past three days, a friend I were out in Las Vegas for another little golf trip. This trip was all about value as we’re entering the offseason out there with the temperatures rising in the summer. Fortunately, we happened to catch three fairly pleasant days after a crazy heat wave just the week... Continue Reading →
Back to Vegas, Part 2: Rounding Out the Trip
I featured both courses at The Revere Golf Club in the first part of my Vegas trip review. My friend and I played plenty of golf in between those two rounds, though, as well as one more before heading home Friday evening. On Thursday morning, we made our way up to North Las Vegas for...

Back to Vegas, Part 1: Riding with The Revere
Having attended a lot of Greenskeeper.org outings in the past year, a friend and I had collected a handful of free golf vouchers from the prize pools. With some of them expiring at the end of January, we put together a spur-of-the-moment Vegas trip this week to cash them all in. Normally, I would review... Continue Reading →
Vegas (Well, Technically Henderson), Baby!
It’s November, and that usually means a quick trip out to Las Vegas for a few rounds with one of my buddies. We had our bags packed and our courses picked out, so we hit the road Sunday morning and made our way to Henderson, which was actually the home of all three courses we... Continue Reading →
Vegas Weekend with the Golden Bear
This weekend, I spent both days out in the Las Vegas area, enjoying plenty of good golf, gambling and a severe lack of sleep. In the process, I played two Jack Nickaus-designed courses. That’s fitting because I’ve been on an unintentional Golden Bear kick lately with a number of recent rounds at SoCal Nicklaus tracks.... Continue Reading →
Celebrating Number 500 in Style
Sunday marked a very special achievement for me. I got the opportunity to play my 500th different course (and #501 for good measure). As I’ve done with previous milestones, I wanted to make the course selection something pretty special. In other words, a Top 100 kind of course. At the same time, I wanted to... Continue Reading →
