The Primm Valley Golf Club has been cited by Golf Digest as among the “Places to Play” with 4 ½ stars. The resort features an ultimate challenge set in the magnificence of nature. Designed by Tom Fazio, a famed golf architect, this golf club is being highlighted by two award-winning layouts: The Lakes Course and The Desert Course. These golf courses run through Las Vegas’ desert expanse surrounded by distant mountains making the resort a golfing oasis.

The Lakes Course was the first to open in 1997 and has been cited right away by Golf Digest Magazine as among the “Top Ten Best New Courses”. This Fazio gem features the perfectly manicured green rye grass, dense groves of gigantic pine trees, extensive river and lake system, numerous bunkers, and plenty of water features to add up to the challenging golf rounds. This par-71, 6,945-yard layout also offers golfers with open fairways as well as the undulating well-bunkered greens. Even the skilled golfers often find this amazing beast quite difficult to tame.

The Desert Course on the other hand was opened a year after. While the Lakes Course offers the almost-tropical setting, this layout provides golfers with the beautiful desert landscaping. Tom Fazio accented this golf course with mesquite and palm trees, desert wildflowers, and colorful cactus to emphasize the true desert feeling. In terms of difficulty level, The Desert Course is quite demanding with the large well-bunkered greens, narrow fairways that have elevation changes, water features on five of the layout’s holes, and the vast stretch of waste bunkers that borders the fairways on its seven holes.

Although Las Vegas is known for its dashing nightlife, partying, and gambling, the place also holds some of the world’s best golf courses that would surely entice all sorts of golfers. Billed as “the world’s most complete golf experience”, the Angel Park Golf Club serves as the replica for some of the finest par-3 courses around the world. The golf club features two 18-hole courses complete with all the challenges that will test even the skilled golfer.

The Mountain and Palm Course are the club’s challenging layouts that were designed by the famous Arnold Palmer. The Palm Course was the first to open in 1989 as a par-70 layout then the Mountain Course followed a year after. Although there are already plenty of thriving golf courses near Angel Park, the golf club still continue to draw in crowd whether to play to golf or just get around. The Palm Course was later remodeled by John Fought and Bob Cupp. The layout now features the challenging par-5, 525-yard number 6 hole with a split fairway and double dogleg. The Palm is also being highlighted by its 5 par-3s that range from 175 to 220 yards of play. Golfers will experience difficulty off the tee.

The Mountain Course on the other hand features the undulating greens that would require uphill approaches. Most of the greens in this course are mounded and elevated that can be tricky on the part of the golfers. If you want to get through and score high, have the accurate tee shots. Just like in the # 17 that measures 557 yards, if the tee shot is too far, chances are you will end up at the rough. In 2002, the greens were resurfaced with the Tiff-dwarf Bermuda grasses.

The Diamondhead Country Club has been considered as one of Mississippi’s finest golf courses that offer high quality golfing experience. Golfers of all ability levels coming from the different parts of the globe often flock the resort simply to test their swinging abilities or enjoy nature at its finest. Diamondhead is said to be the only 36-hole golf facility located in the Biloxi Area. This golf club is comprised of two world-class layouts: The Cardinal Course and The Pine Course both developed with rolling terrains that are highlighted by big sand bunkers.

The Pine Course was the club’s first Earl Stone layout that opened in 1970. It features the 6,817-yard par 72 golf play from the layout’s longest tees. The course was given a slope rating of 133 and a course rating of 73.6. The Cardinal Course on the other hand, is another Earl Stone gem, is the club’s second 18-hole facility that opened in 1978. The course offers golfers with a 6,831-yard par 72 play from the longest tees. It was given a course rating of 72.7 and a 132 slope rating on Bermuda grass. These conventional layouts both have the tree-lined fairways as one of the course’s major challenges that even the professionals find it difficult to deal with. In order to get through a tough golf round, golfers need to conquer water features and the well-placed bunkers that come into play. In the Cardinal Course, there are no extra long sand bunkers and parallel fairways.

Aside from the challenging holes, the Diamondhead Country Club also offers eight clay tennis courts that has the lighted hydra, a 5,400-square feet banquet and meeting space, and an American Bistro that serves exceptional menus.
