Las Vegas Golf Review

Ted Robinson's 6909 yard championship designed golf club is the centerpiece of the Rhodes Ranch master planned community.A lush oasis in the desert of Southern Nevada. Located only minutes off the Strip at Warm Springs Road and Durango.
The community consists of nine residential portions within a secured gate access.Showcasing upscale, luxurious living options. A courteous and reliable staff members compliments a great golf facility.Which includes a spacious modern clubhouse, driving range and practice putting green. The clubhouse features a fine dining restaurant and lounge. Additionally an outdoor patio with brilliant views of the golf course. As well as an ample pro shop with a decent collection of accessories, clubs, and apparel for men as well as women. With the fabulous views and fine facilities.

This is a fantastic place to host tournaments, parties, weddings,receptions and special events. The golf course, which has been open since 1997.Rhodes Ranch Golf Club has been recognized with 3 1/2 stars out of five by Golf Digest Places to Play. We give it a solid Four !!!Mild rolling fairways and generous sized greens are found in a setting that takes you from the desert to a tropical paradise. Fully developed palms over three thousand of them and lush landscaping along one hundred sixty two acres combined with numerous water hazards as well as subtle elevation adjustments to make this an astonishingly aesthetically attractive layout. The conditioning from tee to green on our visit was fantastic. Ted Robinson has labeled the group of par threes here as the finest he has ever designed. All four are stunning each of them are challenging. Three of the holes presenting significant water hazards. Four sets of tees at Rhodes Ranch measure 6909 (122 slope), 6403 (120 slope), 6009 (117 slope) and 5238 yards (110 slope). If you go to their website, you will find photos, hole by hole diagrams and descriptions.With tips on how to play each hole. Rhodes Ranch Golf Club has a great website.You can visit it through a link at the bottom of this page. One can ascertain from the slope ratings that this is a very player friendly layout. Choose the correct tees for your game and the par fours are playable, the par fives score-able the par threes.Well, they may possibly make or break your round. The course is well marked with 150 yards posts also doubling as directional guides. Sprinkler heads are measured to the heart of the green.The Kirby system is also in place, with yardage blocks every 25 yards from 75 to 200 out.Up to 275 on longer holes. Pay attention to the positions of the tee markers on each tee box.They also offer individual measurements to the middle of the green. The pin placement on the greens mimics the tee placements on each tee box. For instance.If the tees are way up in the boxes.The pin will be in the front of the green.

The first hole is an appreciated opener.One that grants golfers a opportunity to get off to a good start. Number two plays into the prevailing wind and will call for two good shots to reach in regulation, but is also score able. The par three third is a gorgeous hole requiring a tee shot over a pond.With some bail out space left. This is the fifth handicapped hole.Pretty difficult for a three par! Rolling mounds and bunkers offer the challenge on the dogleg right par four 4th.Which also features a double tiered green. Number five bends in the opposite direction and provides sufficient room on the fairway and this is a very score able par five. The sixth is rated as the number one handicap.Playing from the Black tees at 435 yards. Number seven is an effortless par three (17th handicap) precedes a short but tricky par four. A lay up past and left of the 150 yard stake is the recommended play off the tee on eight.

Everything hit to the right will have to negotiate the water hazard. The pond on the right comes into play quickly on the finishing hole of the front. Five hundred seventy one yards is the longest hole of the layout. Play to the left heart of the fairway on this lengthy up hill par five, that bends lightly to the right.The back side begins with a narrow par four.That invites a tee shot aimed at the 150 yard stake. On eleven, a lay up just past the 150 is proposed while avoiding the water hazard and bunkers to the right.The fairway from tee to green is skinny on the par five twelfth. Two accurately placed shots may generate a high-quality birdie opportunity here. thirteen is also very score able.The narrow mounded fairway will funnel slightly off line tee shots towards the heart. The par three fourteenth.The eighteenth handicap, is the easiest hole of the layout. Take enough club,it plays all of the distance advertised. The wide fairway on fifteen slopes left to right producing some approach shots with the ball below your feet.It plays into a double tiered green.

There is plenty of room for error on the gorgeous par three 16th.The pond short of the putting green should not come into play. Number 17 plays to an open rolling fairway with a grass swale fronting the green.That is followed by a fairly and score able closing hole. Avoid the pond about 50 yards out and a low number is achievable.We found this layout to be incredibly enjoyable. At 6900 yards, it is a difficult task for scratch golfers, and at just over 6000 yards, can be played skillfully by the average player. It is an aesthetically eye-catching layout.Rates at Rhodes Ranch Golf Club are remarkably reasonable for Vegas golf with seasonal fees in the $100-$160 range. Residents get a price break on this breathtaking course. Rhodes Ranch Golf Club affords the golfing public an opportunity to book tee times 60 days in advance and to play at a facility that offers private club amenities.
