Here's an article on Vegas golf I wrote for the current edition of FORE Magazine. It's a link to a digital archive so you have to click to the article, which begins on page 30.

Good read. How do you compare Constestoga vs Shadow Creek? Thanks.

Totally different intents and experiences.

I've been a fan of Conestoga since it opened. On some levels I'd say it is the best course in Mesquite simply because Wolf Creek is so over the top, and Conestoga kills 'em on service. It is fun. It has a great mix of holes. And it is rather strategic in the sense of shot placement and angles. What stuck with me early on is they put that good of a course in the middle of a Sun City development, which history has shown had done for golf about what Lawrence Welk did for rock music.

Shadow? Shadow is another world. An amazing parkland with the type of conditioning typically only seen at very well-financed private clubs. It's a top 10 play in the country on pretty much every list and legitimately so. Shadow certainly is the best Fazio course I've ever experienced. Worth the money if you can get in? To an avid golfer, certainly.

Ken, I'm sorry but I made a mistake. I intended to ask you how Conestoga compares to Wolf Creek, which I've played a couple of time. Thanks.

WC is nutty mind-blowing nuts gotta do it! GOTTA!

ONCE. Then when you find yourself up that way again play Conestoga and Coyote, run up to St. George, repeat every visit.

Going to Coyote Springs next Thursday. It will be our second playing, really enjoyed last year. Seems sad that it is such a jewel with very little play.
