Majestic Beauty of Reflection Bay at Lake Las Vegas Resort Captured
It seems like yesterday that the Golden Bear Jack Nicklaus was piled into an SUV, en route to a barren, desert hillside that was to be the future site of Reflection Bay Golf Club, his first resort golf course in Nevada. In reality, it was more than a decade ago, and his vision that day helped create one of the most beautiful Las Vegas golf courses ever created. Reflection Bay Golf Club features five holes that dance along the shores of Lake Las Vegas, but the course just might be defined the holes that play in and through the desert canyons above the homes, resorts, shops and everything else that is Lake Las Vegas Resort. Local PGA Tour player Craig Barlow lists the par 5, 15th hole as his favorite, and Nicklaus says his favorite is the par 4, 7th. You can view the beauty that is Reflection Bay Golf Club online.

Take the Visual Tour of Las Vegas Golf’s First Desert Course
Painted Desert Golf Club debuted in 1987, and was the first true desert golf course created in Las Vegas. Designed by Jay Moorish, this Las Vegas golf course is best described as a friendly desert layout. And now you can take a visual tour of several of Painted Desert’s holes by visiting the Painted Desert Golf Club Tour … now. "We knew that the course was going to be a daily fee so we made sure it was user friendly by staying away from creating deep bunkers or other tough design elements," says Moorish about his Las Vegas golf course. "We also left the front of the greens open, but also designed them so there would be some tucked-away pin positions if you wanted to create a little bit more challenge." You can also book online Las Vegas tee times or Las Vegas golf packages for Painted Desert Golf Club that will make your Las Vegas golf trip planning a breeze. painteddesertgc.com
Shriners New Title Sponsor for 26th Year of PGA Tour in Las Vegas in 2008 FRYS.com, according to 2007 tournament chairman Gary Davis, helped save the PGA Tour in Las Vegas, but after two years, they are leaving as title sponsor, handing the reigns to the Shriners, who this year took over as the host organization. The Shriners are self-described as one of the "biggest secrets" in philanthropy, and have created a new branding and PR campaign moving forward, and working with Las Vegas and the PGA Tour is a spring board for those efforts. The Shriners operate 22 hospitals worldwide, and have an annual operating budget of more than $700 million that will soon become about a billion dollars. The funds are generated from an endowment, and the Shriners are always seeking new benefactors. And the golf demographic is a perfect fit according to Ralph W. Semb, Chairman, Board of Trustees for Shriners Hospitals for Children. The new name of the event will be the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and the event will be played the week of October 6-12, 2008. The agreement guarantees the event to be in Las Vegas through 2012 and played solely at Las Vegas golf course TPC Summerlin. GolfLasVegasNow.com
