Henderson
In Henderson, you
get a sense of community
Just south of Las Vegas is the suburb of Henderson,
which from 1999-2002 was the fastest growing city in North America.
Along with it came a growing golf scene.
"It's growing and becoming more and more of a golf destination," says Dan Romstead, Director of Sales at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson. "The beauty of Henderson is there is a little more community [than Las Vegas] and there is a lot of great golf within Henderson. You don't have to stay in the hustle an bustle of the 'strip'."
Lake Las Vegas Resort is virtually a golf destination onto itself, with
its Jack
Nicklaus designed
Reflection Bay course, the newly opened Tom
Weiskopf designed Falls
Golf Club, a Hyatt Regency and a luxurious Ritz Carlton hotel.
Henderson Golf also fits a variety of budgets, according to Romstead.
Golfers looking to find a bargain are in luck, as well as golfers who are
looking for the glitz and glamour found closer to the strip.
 The
Revere at Anthem is set in the towns foothills and sports an 18-hole
layout from Billy
Casper and Greg Nash with a Revolutionary War theme.
Rio Secco, the
Legacy Golf Club, the venerable Black
Mountain Golf and Country Club and Dragon
Ridge Golf and Country Club round out Henderson's rapidly growing
honor roll.
Henderson is roughly 20 miles south of the heart of Las Vegas. To get
to Henderson from Vegas it is a straight shot on I-95 and a mere 5-iron
east. Golfers who make the short drive south will discover Henderson Golf
scene is a more relaxed and less busy complement to its bustling sibling
to the north.
