Legacy Golf Club, The

There are a lot of quality courses in the Vegas area, but not that many that are as good a value course as this one, especially one that is that close to the strip. My round cost me $45 for a 7am tee time in June, although I think that that's a little cheaper than the normal non-resident rate.

From the moment someone comes to pick up your clubs from the car park to the moment you're coming off the 18th, you're going to be enjoying the decision to play here.

The clubhouse is lovely, the course is in great condition, and the practise facilities are all that you need.

Both nines have some lovely holes, but I think the ones on the back nine are the more interesting. The fairways are reasonably wide throughout, but there are lots of deep bunkers next to the greens to keep your game honest.

The course is bordered by housing, which is probably the only downside of playing here, but none of the housing really encroaches.

If you're in Vegas looking for some golf, then you could do way, way worse than play here.

PS Many thanks to locals Peter, Bob, and Ernie for showing me around the course!
