The private SouthShore Golf Club is in in play for Las Vegas golf vacations.
Back in August, we told you that the troubled Lake Las Vegas Resort had closed both of its public courses (The Falls and Reflection Bay), but there’s still a good reason to consider LLVR for your Las Vegas golf vacations.
Namely, if you want to play one of the better private golf courses in Las Vegas, staying at a certain hotel on the Lake Las Vegas campus can make it happen.
Now, you won’t find this Jack Nicklaus Signature course listed on Lake Las Vegas’ website or the hotel’s website (and it doesn’t look like the course itself has a website), but here’s where you can find it and how you can play it. Read more →

Golf Odyssey's year-long research of golf vacations (in 20 U.S. states and 10 countries) culminates in this coveted, year-end issue. Get a free copy below.
You are about to read one of the most useful tips I’ll publish all year.
That’s because it explains how you can get a free copy of Golf Odyssey’s annual, year-end issue containing its provocative (and sometimes scathing) “Best and Worst Awards,” and its coveted list of “Platinum Places: The World’s Best Golf Destinations for 2009-2010.”
Both are based on Golf Odyssey’s year-long travels and undercover inspections of top golf courses, resorts, and restaurants in 20 different states in the USA and 10 different countries around the world.
Two categories I thought you might be particularly interested in are:
“The Best New Golf Resort,” and “The Best New Golf Course,” the latter being called “arguably the most important golf course to open anywhere in the world in 2009.”
And the winners are: Read more →

ParMates provides another option for hiring female forecaddies on Las Vegas golf vacations.
The editors of Golf Odyssey have been following a very important story regarding Las Vegas golf vacations.
A couple years back, they reported that the Rees Jones-designed Rio Secco Golf Club had put together a unique forecaddie corps called “T-Mates,” described as “intensively trained” female caddies whose other assets include being “fun, outgoing, physically fit, reliable, attractive, entertaining, and supportive.”
Well, about a year ago, T-Mates got some competition in the (female) form of “ParMates” at sister courses Bali Hai and Royal Links, and things are, um, really getting hot out there.
Warning: if you’re easily offended by seeing pictures of beautiful women in short skirts, you probably shouldn’t follow this link. Read more →

For now, Lake Las Vegas' Falls and Reflection Bay courses are off the menu for Las Vegas golf vacations.
Not sure if you’ve been following this story, but two of the best courses to play on Las Vegas golf vacations have shut their doors.
Lake Las Vegas Resort (lakelasvegas.com), which filed for bankruptcy protection in July of last year, first closed its spectacular Tom Weiskopf-designed Falls Course on January 30. Then, on June 30 of this year, it closed Reflection Bay, its memorable Jack Nicklaus design.
Will those with Lake Las Vegas golf vacations already booked or planned travel to the desert only to be left out in the cold? Read more →

Many of you have asked if I think it’s still worth taking the 90-mile side trip to play Mesquite golf courses given that the prices of Las Vegas golf vacations have been dropping considerably in recent months.
Well, my colleagues at Golf Odyssey recently returned from an undercover inspection of Mesquite golf courses and they just filed their comprehensive report in their May 2009 issue.
Here are some of their comments: Read more →
