Signed a job offer 2 weeks ago and then immediately booked a weeklong solo golf trip to Vegas. I don’t deserve this.

By

Booked a once in a lifetime (hopefully not?) golf trip to Vegas immediately after signing a job offer.

Shadow Creek was as cool of an experience as you can imagine, but I thought Wynn was a more fun course. The "Merlin" stone at Shadow Creek is the tombstone of one of three dolphins owned by Steve Wynn, which he buried on the course next to each other. Some real billionaire shit.

Shot the best round of my life at Cascata with an 80 in some pretty brutal wind. Awesome views and cool wildlife on the course (bighorn sheep, roadrunners, and some other critters).

Piaute – Wolf was absolutely the best value of the trip and I'm really looking forward to getting to their other two courses in the future.

Out of these six, I'd rate Rio Secco the lowest, but it was still a really great course. Just a super high bar with the other five.

Reflection Bay had some cool views and elevation changes, but the "feels like" temp was 116° on the last few holes, which was pretty rough.

    I guess you can’t edit posts with pictures in them? Forgot to mention that I was in locker #1 at Shadow Creek and as a diehard Yankees fan, it was really cool having Jeter’s locker next to mine. Not sure who the other three randos were next to him were though.

    The greens were fucked at Cascata when I went last month, hope they have improved! The sheep were awesome

    Awesome dude. I did Paiute earlier this year, my lord it was windier than the entire week I spent in Scotland lol. Dumped a lovely 9i into the water on that par 3 too.

    Correction: you do deserve this. Treat yo self Young King. Looks like you had a great time. Happy for you, stranger!

    How’s reflection bay nowadays? Spent my childhood summers on the other side of Lake Las Vegas.

    F yes! Way to live it up! You hit up a ton of good courses. I love Paiute. I played snow mountain in March. By far one of my fav courses that I’ve ever played. Absolutely perfect conditions.

    Top notch all around.

    I love some solo golf but man this seems like a really long time in Vegas alone.

    No friends could meet up for even 1 round?

    Did it feel weird doing it solo?  Have a lot of bucket list courses but not much interest from golf buddies. Thinking about just doing them myself.

    What were the prices like for each course

  12. cryptodog11

    Good for you! That’s what making money is about. You can’t take it with you, the ancient Egyptians tried and they got robbed!

    Holy shit. That must be a really nice job.

    Also, you skipped Mesquite! Every course out there is incredible.

    Paiute is such a great course. Way to treat yourself!

    Pace of play 4:30??

    Unacceptable!!!

    We have people here on Reddit who can walk it and play 18 in a 9some and be done in 90 mins.

    /S

    Shadow is an awesome experience. I just wish they hadn’t jacked the rate as high as they have.

    I played Cascata about 10 years ago. The fastest greens I ever played in my life. Also Paiute is a beautiful golf course. And St. George Utah has some unbelievable golf courses.

    Fuck yeah you deserve this brother. We all have to celebrate our own wins more! Congrats

    I played in a foursome day after memorial Day at Shadow Creek. What a fun day. Limo in and out. Relaxing

  23. YewSure

    Geez! What kind of job did you get? I can’t get on shadow.

  25. creatureofcozy

    Gorgeous. I’ve been to Vegas a few times but never stopped to check out courses. New bucket list items for sure. Congrats!

  27. Twism86x

    Awesome! Last time I was in Vegas I stayed at the Wynn but the course was shut down while I was there…. Absolute torture to wake up and look at it from my window every morning. Where do you usually play in NJ? I’m hitting Architects tomorrow.

  29. chipsservant

    Wait you can play Shadow Creek as a single?!?!?
