Secrets and Tips for Las Vegas golf vacations
Best Alternatives to "The Big Three"
Some people pay $500 to play "The Big Three" Las Vegas golf courses at Shadow Creek, Cascata, and Wynn Golf Club. 
Did you know you can have a great experience for much less? There are at least six Las Vegas golf courses with an elite vibe like "The Five Franklin Club," but cost much less (for now).
This includes the The Chase at PGA Golf Club at Coyote Springs, a remote 30 miles from The Strip. Its 18-hole Jack Nicklaus design is the first of 15 Las Vegas golf courses (yes, 15) for the PGA's Western headquarters.
The course is excellent, but traffic is slow and, if it weren't the PGA's baby, we aren't sure it could survive today. Therefore, the golf traveler (you) wins! Green fees are down, making a round with a forecaddie and other perks a great bargain at $105-$175 and a great part of your Las Vegas golf vacation.

The "Other" Course to Play on a Mesquite Golf Vacation
Most people who are vaguely familiar with Mesquite, Nevada golf have heard of Wolf Creek Golf Course, which 
is target golf at its extreme.
While Wolf Creek Golf Course remains the “must-play” in the Mesquite area, it’s not the only game in town. We recommend hitting the Palmer Course at the Oasis Golf Club.
This Mesquite golf course has a wild streak and is one of the most exhilarating “Arnies” we’ve ever played. The biggest rush begins at the sixth hole, a dogleg right with a green backed against an imposing canyon wall.
Then you’re hit with the uphill, par-three seventh, requiring a formidable carry over a ravine.
