Voted Best of
Las Vegas, Angel Park Golf Club is 20 minutes
north-west of McCarran International Airport
and Las Vegas Strip located at Summerlin Parkway
and Rampart Boulevard across from the Suncoast
and Regent Hotel Casinos.
Angel Park Golf is commonly referred to as "the
world's most complete golf experience." Here
you can enjoy the challenge and beauty of two
Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole championship
golf courses, experience the thrill of the
game's most famous par-threes on the Cloud
Nine Short Course, and test your mettle against
the intriguing putting course.
The Mountain Course is one of two 18-hole
golf courses at Angel Park Golf Club. The Mountain
Course challenges golfers with occasional forced
carries over canyons and gorges, sloping greens
and wide fairways guarded by bunkers and flowing
native grasses. The Mountain course plays longer
than its Palm Course counterpart, yet offers
a fair test for golfers of all abilities. At
an elevation of 2,800 feet the Mountain Course
offers golfers dramatic vistas of the Spring
mountains, Red Rock Canyon, and the Las Vegas
skyline.
The Palm Course is one of two 18-hole golf
courses at the facility that is billed as the
world’s most complete golf experience.
The Palm course is a resort friendly desert
layout that winds through the northwest Las
Vegas desert and offers stunning views of the
surrounding mountains. The Palm course plays
slightly shorter than its sister course, the
Mountain, yet the challenging par-3s and spectacular
water features challenge golfers of all skill
levels.

A project to extend the lake separating the
ninth and 18th holes on Angel Park Golf Club's
Mountain course will, when completed this year,
make the two par-4 holes more difficult. Angel
Park is planning to spend $1.4 million to upgrade
the lake, extending it out nearly to the tee
boxes on Nos. 9 and 18. Currently, the water
doesn't come into play on a golfer's tee shot
and only affects the shot into the green. But
after the renovation, it will play a factor
on both shots. The move is designed to increase
the lake's storage capacity for effluent water,
which is used to irrigate the course. General
manager Carl von Hake said Angel Park management
also decided to use the lake expansion to improve
the playability of the two holes. "The
lake becomes much more of a factor the way
this will be set up," von Hake said. "It
provides a much stiffer challenge and is going
to force the golfers to make decisions about
how and where they hit their shots." In
addition to expanding the lake on the Mountain
course, von Hake said Angel Park will be relining
the lakes on the Palm course and making improvements
to the pro shop and the restaurant. He said
the pro shop and restaurant improvement would
cost about $500,000.
