 A
Sun City Community golf course designed by Billy Casper and
Greg Nash. Palm Valley is well manicured and offers fantastic
views throughout the round. Palm Valley is a good value for
an enjoyable golf course. 20-25 minutes from the Las Vegas
strip. Soft spikes are required.
Palm Valley Golf Club is the sister course to Highland Falls,
also located in Sun City Summerlin. This facility features
a manageable layout with the player in mind who may be a bit
more price sensitive. Similar to Highland Falls, the market
for this course is local, with an emphasis on the retirement
community that makes up Sun City. That being said, you can
expect a very good round of golf at rates well below comparable
courses the market to the resort players.
The course is generally in very good shape, with wide fairways
and big greens that allow the player to score well. Measuring
6,849 yards from the back tees with a slope of 127, it's easy
to see why this course is popular among the locals -- great
location, very good course conditions, and a player friendly
layout that offers few surprises. Watch out for the water
on seven holes, however, and make sure you avoid the 80 bunkers.
