LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Angel Park Golf Club was named as one of “America’s Top 50 Courses for Women,” by Golf Digest magazine.
“We take our loyalty to female guests very seriously,” said David Stead, Director of Golf at Angel Park Golf Club. “Although the game of golf sort of started out as a male-centric game, I gotta tell you that the ladies who tee it up at our club are just as captivated with this wonderful game as the men. Their participation is good for everyone.”
As explained in the March 2010 issue of Golf Digest, golf clubs that made the list featured “female-friendly design, amenities, courteous staff, programs and an atmosphere that appeals to women.” The editors relied on a panel of more than 100 of its female golf course raters who fanned out over the country to nominate and evaluate the multitude of daily-fee and resort courses based on, “how well they met the women-friendly criteria established by the editors. Among them: at least one set of tees less than 5,300 yards, at least two sets of tees with USGA Slope and Course Ratings for women, minimal forced carries from the forward tees, and run-up areas to most or all greens.”
“When one takes a look at the demographic profile of golfers, they’ll see that the female contingent is the fastest growing group,” said Phil Green, President of OB Sports, management firm for Angel Park Golf Club. “We are pleased that Angel Park Golf Club was recognized for creating an environment that is welcoming for female golfers and that encourages further enjoyment of the game by all who frequent this popular Las Vegas golf facility.”

The club also has a 12-hole Short Course, the World’s Original natural grass putting course and an expansive practice tee – all of which are lighted for evening enjoyment.
