Grass Type: Fairways: Bermuda in Summer, Rye in Winter. Greens are Bentgrass
all year.
An 18 hole private country club within the MacDonald Highlands complex of homes
and developments. The course is the highlight of the luxury home community
overlooking the Las Vegas Valley as it is also located at the base of the Black
Mountain Range. MacDonald Highlands has gone to great expense to maintain the
desert surroundings while incorporating both a housing development and golf
course in the area. It winds through the foothills of the Black Mountains with
the fairways in between the ridges. You have a panoramic view of Henderson and
Las Vegas from most of the holes. Their whole focus at this course is to have a
top notch conditioned course - and they are right on with that focus. There are
5-7 Tee boxes per hole, and the course was designed to make it playable for all
skill levels, but to always keep players off-balance. It consists of split
fairways within the natural desert mountain surroundings, blind shots off the
tee (and approaching the greens), and strategically placed bunkers, makes you
wonder about your club selection and accuracy in approaching the greens. Most of
the holes have a "Carry-over" to reach the fairway. The greens are
large, inviting, and treacherous. They are undulating and there are unforeseen
breaks.
