Angel Park - Mountain Course

Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay designed the Mountain Course at Angel Park in 1989, routed up and down a genuine mountain 15-20 minutes northwest of the Strip with Red Rocks to the west and the Vegas skyline to the east. 6,722 yards par-71, shorter than the resort-heavyweights but with elevation changes that add shot-value beyond the yardage. As the name suggests, the course climbs and descends throughout. Landing areas are generous, which keeps the round playable for mixed-handicap groups, but green complexes demand accuracy, tricky breaks and moderate-to-severe slopes punish careless approaches. Bermuda fairways and greens hold up year-round. Dynamic pricing keeps peak rates under $150, with twilight and off-season drops to $35 that make this one of Vegas's best values for a real Palmer-designed round. Fits a Vegas trip as the 'inexpensive real-design round' when the group's budget needs some help.
