Desert Rose Golf Course

By Ron Reece, The Internet Golf Guy

Not every course in Las Vegas breaks the bank, and Desert Rose Golf Club is the one to play for those who want to experience a good round of Vegas golf without the high price tag associated with the premium courses. Designed in 1962 by Joe Lee and Dick Wilson, Desert Rose offers a friendly, mature layout that players of all abilities will enjoy.

The course features 6,511 yards of wide fairways with little water or sand hazards, and virtually no out-of-bounds areas. Typically reserved for the beginner or the young player just starting out, this American Golf managed facility will be a nice fit to offset the price of a large golf package, or the perfect course for that first round of golf after the winter layoff.

The greens at Desert Rose are rather standard, offering few undulations and surprises. On approach shots, go "pin-seeking" as this course is mature and the greens are quite receptive. Most holes do have bunkering around the greens that can cause some problems, but overall the player can really attempt to take it low.
