Eagle Crest Golf Club Las Vegas
from: Gary Long
Eagle Crest Golf Club Las Vegas - Eagle Crest is a 4,067-yard,
par-60 executive course built along some of the highest points
in Summerlin. Besides featuring panoramic views of the city, the
course offers plenty of challenge for players who appreciate a
timely-usually about 3 ½ hours-18-hole round. Designer Casper
says, "You can take any hole from this course, put it in the
middle of a championship course, and it would fit right in."
Built into the side of a mountain, the layout is undulant
throughout, very picturesque and cozy in its surroundings of
Summerlin homes.
The 14 par-3 holes offer a broad length variety, from a short
112 yards to a demanding 224 yards. Three of the six par 4s play
less than 350 yards, while two, the 9th and 13th, measure just
over 400 yards. The dogleg-right, 347-yard 5th hole is cleverly
designed to give players risk-reward choices. Water runs from
tee to green along the right side, and fairway bunkers left
further pinch the landing area for a long-iron or fairway-metal
tee shot. Players who instinctively reach for the driver take
note: The fairway narrows beyond the bunkers, and an additional
fairway bunker left waits to punish drivers that shy too far
away from the water. Greenside bunkers left and back guard the
putting surface. The 18th hole is a straightaway par 4 playing
370 yards. About 250 yards out, the fairway drops 40 feet
towards a large green. Two large fairway bunkers left await
pulled tee shots and greenside bunkers back left and right guard
the front-to-back putting surface.
