Sorry if this is redundant but I could not find my old vegas thread. I have my golf options down to a few courses. Anyone ever play any of these?

Silverstone Golf Club, Legacy Golf Club, Las Vegas National, Badlands Golf Club, Palm Valley, Black Mountain Golf Club

Thanks for any feedback!

I've played a number of courses in vegas. Angel Park (both courses) Tuscaney, Los Prados, Badlands, and a few others i can't recall. One common thing is the lack of grass on most courses. Just off the primary rough on most courses you'll find rock desert, and in no way will you want to swing your clubs in that.
For that reason, Las Vegas national is my favorite to play. The price is good, its all grass, and reasonably close to the strip.

Check it out.

I played Silverstone about 2-3 years ago, and I will give it a little bit of a pass for being winter, but I was not at all impressed. I wasn't disappointed, but also not moved by it. I would give it a C+, maybe B-. As a matter of fact I can only vaguely remember two holes and that is rare for me. I remember nearly every hole I've played, especially if I enjoyed the course. Good luck, and I'm jealous. It warmed up to 18* F here and I was outside with just a sweatshirt until I realized how sad that is. I thought 18* felt warm today. Something must be wrong with me.

I was 27-28 when I finally made it to Vegas, been there 6-7 times since then & always love it.

Over 60 and never been to Vegas - except for a couple of airport layovers. Don't feel at all deprived.

I ended up going with Welcome to Badlands Golf Club, Las Vegas, Nevada. We have 8 guys in the bachelor party and I used sterling golf to organize it. Broken down costs per guy: ($70 for round + cart + range balls) + ($23 for to and from transportation) + ($30 optional rentals) = $123/guy

I thought that was pretty reasonable. I will let everyone know how the course and services provided by sterling were. Here is there info:
