Rating 73.2

Opened in 1984, Spanish Trail Country Club is one of Las Vegas' oldest golf courses. The club offers 27 holes divided into three unique nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The entire golf course is filled with tree-lined fairways, undulating hills, and sparkling lakes but each nine offers a distinct environment. The Lakes/Sunrise Course is the shortest of the three combinations at 6,957 yards. The aptly named Lakes nine has water coming into play on six holes. Golfers should be prepared for several forced carries as well as water guarding the greensides on five holes. The fifth hole on the Sunrise nine was ranked as one of the toughest holes on the PGA Tour back in the late 80s when the club hosted the Las Vegas Invitational. The back nine also has plenty of water, most notably on its signature final hole, which features a scenic waterfall.

Nice course

Course was in good shape except for one thing.....the bunkers were like hitting off concrete. No real way to control the shot out of the bunker as you couldn't get under the ball.

Beautiful golf resort

This was a really fun course to play. Lots of water and bunkers. Upscale from the club house to the course. Don't know that it's worth the full asking price but it was worth the golf now hit deal.

Great Routing- fun for all folks

The course was in really good shape, with just some spotty rough near the greens. Greens were hard and fast, so approaches were at a premium

Too much driving

The water is gorgeous on this course and that alone was worth a full star. Felt like at times a lot of driving between holes. Other than the water holes a fairly standard course, nothing that stood out. Nice but I don't recall any but one hole just three days later

Great Course. Lots of golfers.

Enjoyed playing Spanish Trail. Course conditions were immaculate. I was a single and went out about 2 PM in the afternoon. My expectation when playing single is to have some waiting. I was able to play the Canyon Nine w/minimal delays. The Lakes nine was stacked with golfers on every hole. I played 4 holes and got impatient and returned to the clubhouse. I was approximately 5:30. Great course with lots of players so don't be in a hurry.

As far as customer service Not being a member I felt like I was treated like a second citizen. Including given a dirty cart. Course was beautiful but looks a little worse for wear. Now that I've gone no need to go back.

Some good and some bad.

A not bad course but certainly not worth the fee even as a hot deal. Greens were for sure the highlight but fairways, tee boxes and bunkers were all pretty ordinary. Oh ya, a magic $5 fee on arrival to cover the range, a bottle of water in the cooler and the cart GPS.

Challenging Course/ Avoid The Bunkers

Challenging layout from the back tees, the Lakes course features alot of water in play and demands accuracy with your irons. The Sunrise course is more open with bunkers and some trees as the defense. Course was in decent shape with the greens and fairways well maintained and the rough being a little patchy. The Bunkers as mentioned in previous posts are lacking sand and I bladed both green side shots I had due to this. Overall it was an enjoyable 4 hour round a short drive from the strip and very affordable compared to other options in the area.

maybe once in a while place

ground was extremely dry but green was ok to putt. booked prepaid thru golfnow but was told "10 dollars please" on check in. no explanation of why or what for. assumed it's some kind of additional resort fee - definitely an indication of staff arrogance/attitude. flow wasn't smooth. waited for the front group and pushed by the tee behind on many holes. will come back to take on the challenge but for nothing else.
