Question of the Day - 07 July 2015

Q:
One of the questions asked in the June 30 QOD requesting info about the Wynn golf course was how many rounds of golf were played there. Is that info available?
A:

"Historically, this is not a number that we disclose," says Wynn Public Relations Specialist Meghan Speranzo. "During the off season we may have dozens of players, while during the busy season we may have hundreds of players."

According to GolfWorld course critic Mike Bailey, the $500 greens fee is relaxed to $350 in the summer months. Even if you’re paying the full $500, your fee buys you such amenities as "free coffee, fruit, non-alcoholic drinks and the latest Callaway loaner sets, as well as FootJoy shoes. There are also two food stations on the course, and they serve reasonably priced upscale golf course food, including an excellent pressed sandwich." As of 2012, a plaque in the clubhouse still marked entertainer Danny Gans’ (1956-2009) locker.

As for the amount of traffic on the course, if it’s as sparse as the original questioner observed, Wynn Resorts may have good reasons for keeping that information confidential. On a couple of occasions, Steve Wynn has publicly toyed with the idea of tearing out the course and replacing it with an expanded resort, a lake, or a convention center. However, at the present time – and with the Las Vegas Convention Center engaging in a major expansion – it appears that the Wynn Golf Club’s future is safe ... Lake Mead water levels permitting, that is.
