It was suggested by playing partner that if I wanted some good golf in Vegas then I should head off to any of the three Summerlin courses, of which Highland Falls is one. Depending on where you are based on the strip then this course shouldn't be more than 30 minutes away, and based on some of the other prices I've seen this course is one of the cheaper ones (not cheap, just cheaper).
From the moment you get to the pro shop you know that you're onto a winner. It all just looks so nice, from the clubhouse to the practise facilities, and especially the course.
The holes are all pretty much "what you see is what you get", with only the 18th looking like it has a slight dog leg to it. What you get is some gorgeous looking holes, some with mountain views and some with city views. What you don't get is a single bad hole.
Yes, the course runs through housing, but the fairways are fairly generous and none of the housing should be in danger (although I almost gave one home a scare!). The greens, tees, and fairways are also in very good condition
If you are in Vegas, then you could do far worse than play Highland Falls.
