    A buddy and I are in town for the next two weeks and we've been playing golf almost every day. We have a third coming in on Friday, but it'd be great to get a fourth if there's anybody out there who'd be interested. Any OTer would be a welcome addition over the randoms we've been getting paired up with booking via GolfNow the last few outings.

    Smerks and I are playing to around 10 at the moment, and the guy coming in is probably 20+, so a higher handicapper would work just as well as a lower one, especially for team games.

    I don't live in the Las Vegas area and I don't play golf at all, but I would like to hang out. PM me it you want to try to set something up.

    We played a bunch last summer during the series, so we have a pretty good handle on the majority of courses around.

    My favourite course is Spanish Trail by quite a large margin, and it's pretty good value too ($50 in the summer, $80 now, which is amazing compared to golf in Toronto). Bear's Best is really nice too, but we won't be playing there until the summer as times on GolfNow are over $150 right now. TPC Las Vegas is another good one; I'm hoping we get to play it this trip but they wouldn't let us use the utility bill for smerks' house to get the resident's rate, so it would also be north of $100 at the moment. We played Badlands a few times in the summer and may or may not get out there this trip. The Pauite courses are pretty nice, but they're also a lot further - again, not sure if we'll get out there this trip.

    It's looking like we'll be playing a ton of Spanish Trail, and then lower tier courses like Rhodes Ranch and Tuscany for the other rounds as they have good twilight deals.

    Yeah, my bad. Umm, I don't know actually, but it's not really that close to the strip.

    No OT golfers in Vegas?? :(

    When I was there last time I played both Rhodes Ranch and Tuscany. I really liked Rhodes Ranch it's pretty damn nice and has a lot of water holes. I wasn't a big fan of Tuscany it was decent but nothing special. I felt like Tuscany was a bit overpriced actually. Look out for T Spade if you play Tuscany lol he's a local rapper we ran into and he plays there all the time.

    Sweet, we'll have our third guy by then so that could work. I'll talk to the boys and see what they think, thanks.

    Well fuck I picked a bad week to not check p5s at all... I was in Vegas all week playing poker and betting/watching NCAA games Th/Fri... just flew out on the red eye last night.

    I play to a 12 handi and would have loved to get together for a round.... never played in Vegas.

    Suppose I need to be more social and make a thread when I go to Vegas, since I go like twice a year.
