Golf Course Review:

I am trying out a "new feature" here. My husband Russ, has been golfing since he was 7 years of age. He is now in his late fifties. He has MS but that does not stop him from still going out and playing his usual 18 holes. With my Fibromyalgia I only get in 9 holes--I usually play every other hole. I call odds or evens before we start. My new idea for a feature here is to have Russ "Review" Courses we play on. He may even give tips--he's not sure about that yet. Living now is Southern Utah gives us a lot more Opportunities to play even a much wider range of courses. We live only 45 minutes from St. George UT. Forty-five more minutes down the road is Mesquite NV then another hour and a half from there is Las Vegas, NV.

I will ask the questions and Russ will answer them since he tells me I'm the writer not him.

Today's Course of Review will be in Las Vegas, NV.:
Desert Pines Golf Club: 3415 East Bonanza Road (702) 388-4400 http://www.waltersgolf.com/

1)  What was your overall impression of the Staff at Desert Pines?  Very Good, helpful, and accomadatinng.
      We were an hr. early and they got us on the course within 15 mins. They were very friendly. They also 
      have a Course Marshall who goes around and checks on everyone.

2)  Do you think the Fees charged are fair for this course?  This is the Prime Time of Year so it will be high
      at this time. Also, you must remember it is Vegas.

3)  What was your impression of the Pro Shop? It was well-stocked and had everything anyone would
      need.

 4)  What did you think of the Course in General? Each hole has it's own personality. You can get yourself
      into trouble or make it easy on yourself. The fairways are narrow and the greens are large, making you
      want to go for it. All the greens are challenging. There are plenty of water hazards, sand traps and trees.
     
5)  Would you Recommend  Desert Pines to Anyone? Yes.

6)  How would you rate your overall experience at Desert Pines? (1-10 ten being Excellant) Ten.
