I will be heading to Vegas in 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone has some recommendations for any decent courses under $150. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Never played Bali Hai, but it is the closest to the strip (other thsn Wynn CC, which is $500) and I've heard good things about it.

It should be under $150. It's my first choice next time I play in Vegas.

I think they're all pretty expensive in Vegas.

It costs a lot to operate a course in Vegas when you have to import the water from three states away.

Sure there's probably a local hackers course that isn't too expensive, though.

ETA: Bali Hai is an OK course. Sort of tight. Flat.

What ever casino you are staying at ask the concierge if they are affiliated with any courses. If not staying at a casino check out the local edwin watts or dicks and ask the golf dudes, they'll know.

+1 on Wolf Creek, also check out Paiute if you have a rental. Up north Vegas but worth the trip.

Paiute is awesome. Wolf course. I think I used a guy called VIP Golf or something one time. I told him how many rounds, what my budget was and the dates and he set me up with three rounds. Thnk I paid about $100 ea for Bali Hai, Rio Secco and TPC, but this was a while back

Played the Badlands many years ago and it was great. That said, I'm not a regular golfer so maybe I was easily impressed.

If you can Wolf Creek is a treat. A group of 40 of us go on a vegas golf trip every March. We are playing Wolf Creek, Anthem CC, TPC Vegas, and Dragon Ridge CC this year. Dragon Ridge is Awesome but around $250 mark. Check weather, we have been snowed and sleeted on in March at Rio and Bears Best. If you are a single or two some you can probably get some deals.

Badlands is a tough test and probably the economical of many of the local courses.

Played Rio Secco. It's about a 25 minute drive from the strip. Great course. Fun elevation changes

I've played rio secco. $150 is tough. If you include a cab or a rental car or shuttle.? You just can't keep it under $150.

Rio Secco still butch Harmon's course? It was very Vegas when I went. Hot girl greeted me at the door just to walk me to the pro shop. Lol.

Also played Bears Best. The greens were PERFECT. they were a 13 on a stemp meter. It was unbelievable. With out the forecaddy I may still be one a green.
