By Charles Davis

It's always a good day to be a golfer in Las Vegas, with over 300 days of sun and over a hundred affordable courses to choose from. Temperatures range from 58 to 100 degrees allowing any player to enjoy the scenery of the area, and more importantly, great golfing opportunities.

On the high end of the price scale we have the Reflections Bay golf club. Greens fees ranging from $120 to $295, this Jack Nicklaus Signature Course was rated by Golf Digest as one of the Top 100 Best Courses You Can Play. Debuting in 1998, the 7,261 golf course was designed with many of its holes running along 10-miles of a 320-acre lake.

Additionally, ranging from $250 and up you have the Brian Curley and Lee Schmidt designed Bali Hai Golf Club. Opening in 2000, the course is known for its luxurious looks and stunning golf course design. Playing at 7,002 yards from the championship tees, this par-71 course is widely refered to as "lush" by most golfers.

The slightly less indulgent, and slightly more conservative golfer may find the Jay Morris-designed Painted Desert Golf Club more to their liking. Green fees range from $69 to $149, and one of the first courses to open in Las Vegas. Itsmodest 6,781 yards allow most any golfer to enjoy this playable desert course.

Dye Designs International brings to Las Vegas the Desert Pines Golf Club, a course shaded by pine trees and featuring water on half of its holes. With green fees from $35 to $160, even the most price-conscious golfer can enjoy these 6,810 yard course.

Costing from $55 to $95, Bob Baldock and Gill and Associates bring the 27 holes of golf at Black Mountain Golf and Country Club within reach of any golfing budget. The course is qualified by USGA Links and offers 6,550 yards that sport fairways lined with trees, and provide a variety of difficulty for any golfer.

Some call Arnold Palmer's Angel Park Golf Club Vegas' best; the owners themselves declare it the most complete gold experience in the world. It will set a golfer back $65 to $160 for a round of golf, but with natural grass, 36 championship holes, and nine holes lighted, this golf club has been serving players well for almost twenty years.

Each of these courses would prove rewarding for a golfer in its own way, and with a myriad to choose from, the choice can be daunting. With stable weather, and astounding golf courses, any golfer can find paradise in Las Vegas, poor or rich, skilled or just starting out. Everyone can enjoy the best golf destinations in Las Vegas. - 14915
