THE CLUBHOUSE AT TPC LAS VEGAS $35 per set and includes six NXT golf balls and their early morning "Express Lane" tee times each Saturday are for golfers committed to finish 18-holes in 3:45 or less. Angel Park has been honored as "Best Golf Course" in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Review Journal, almost every year since 2000. For information visit www.angelpark.com or call (702) 254- 4653. 7,233 yards from the back tees, is conveniently located just 10 minutes from McCarran International Airport. Designed by Arthur Hills, it features contouring and sloping fairways reminiscent of classic Scottish links and is an annual host to the US Open Qualifying and the American Junior Golf Association. The Legacy Golf Club, a true test of golf at The 10th hole here may be the most recognizable in Las Vegas with tee boxes in the shape of a spade, club, diamond and heart. The rest of the course is memorable as well, especially the "Devil's triangle," holes 11, 12 and 13 that are crisscrossed with desert canyons and lava outcroppings. For tee times or information, call (702) 897-2187 or visit www.thelegacygc.com. Aliante Designed by Scottsdale-based Gary Panks, Aliante is an exciting and challenging 18-holer that stretches more than 7,000 yards from the back tees. The presence of the meandering arroyo that comes into play on 14 holes causes the golfer to feel slightly elevated, providing interesting contours and unique playing lies and angles. The course is highlighted by two water features, generous landing areas, and strategic use of trees that are not commonly found in most desert courses, such as Pear and Purple Locust trees. New here are the "Family Tees" and accompanying "Kids Play Free program." A shorter layout offers beginning golfers a routing option that plays to a par of 61 with a total yardage of just 2,633. Stated Phil Green, President of OB, "... I guess you could say this is our version of golf's bunny slope. We created these forward tees that will make Aliante even more playable for junior golfers, beginning players and even returning players to the game." The "Kids Play Free Program" lets one child play free with a regular paying adult every day after 1:00pm. Call 877-399-4888 or visit www.aliantegolf.com for more information.
