MOUNTAIN COURSE REVIEW
The Mountain Course at Red Rock Country Club is a spectacular desert mountain design featuring sculpted tee areas, rolling manicured fairways, and a nice variety of finely
conditioned green complexes. Cascading streams and waterfalls add aesthetic beauty to create an unforgettable golf experience. Landscaping from tee to green is exceptional,
and golfers will appreciate the mountain vistas and variety in design that includes several elevated tees and pristine water hazards.
The Las Vegas Strip also provides the backdrop for numerous holes. Manicured desert and natural areas with pampas and native brush dissect many fairways, creating the need
for some reasonable carries off the tee and on approaches. The terrain is extreme rolling but generally presents ample landing zones off the tee. Green complexes vary from the
well bunkered to relatively open, some with mounding and others with collection areas. Golfers will need to have a wide range of short game shots in their repertoire to score well
here. The putting surfaces are medium in size and gentle in undulation and slope/
There are 7 sets of tee boxes, affording golfers of all skill levels with an opportunity to choose distances and slopes that match their game. The Gold's play to 7001 with a 143
slope while the Black's measure 6488 yards/135 slope. The Gold/Black combo tee measures 6668 yards with a 142 slope. Average players can choose the Blues which play to
5992/120 slope, or the Whites which measure 5429/120 slope. The Green tees measure 4937 yards/113 slope and the White/ Green plays to 5211 yards/120 slope.
Water hazards come into play on 3 holes and 54 soft sand bunkers are situated near the landing areas off the tee or greenside. The sand traps come in different sizes and
shapes but are often sprawling and can definitely be a factor. The par threes are exceptional as a group, with the 197 yard 7th the best of the group, as it plays from an elevated
tee that provides gorgeous desert mountain views.
On the back side it is easy to lose concentration on the par four 14th and par three 15th. The former features a cascading waterfall to the left and the latter is a gorgeous par three
sculpted into the foothills with a beautiful mountain backdrop. Golfer looking for membership will have a difficult time finding a course that offers more…in the way of beauty – with
a combination of challenge and playability. Choose the back sets and your work is cut out for you. Play up a tee box or two and this can be a relaxing day.
There are tons of amenities to consider, both on and off the course. Conveniently, sprinkler heads on the fairways are measured to the front, middle and back of the greens, and a
rock is situated near 150 yard area on all par fours and fives. The cart paths have 200 yard markers, and all tee boxes have measurements to the center of the green
Pin placement charts are mounted on each golf cart. The Mountain Course and Red Rock Country Club provide an excellent option for those seeking membership in a top notch
facility. Remember – this course is NOT OPEN for public play. For more info visit our listing page with link to the properties' website by clicking here.
