This is not one course but three. The Stallion Mountain Golf Course has three challenging course named after three of the greatest racehorse ever: Secretariat, Citation and Man O'War. Stallion Mountain opened in 1991 and is still evolving. Stallion Mountain is considered to be an improving series of courses that challenge a golfer's accuracy and shot-making ability.
Size
Try playing the Secretariat course if you consider yourself an accomplished golfer. If you really want a test, play it from the championship tees. The course is 7,223 yards long and is a par-72. The course requires long, accurate shots off the tee and precise iron shots. The Secretariat is still difficult but not as challenging if it is played from the middle tees.
Considerations
Stallion Mountain is an outstanding facility for those who are interested in improving their game. Not only does it offer the largest practice area in Las Vegas with more putting greens, chipping areas and driving ranges than any other course in the area, it also includes a full-fledged golf school that accepts golfers of all levels. The John Jacobs Golf School offers help from pros that will fine-tune your games or iron out major problems.
Benefits
Playing at Stallion Mountain is an easy trip from the Vegas Strip. It is just 15 minutes from many of the major hotels on the strip and 20 minutes from downtown. Weekday rates at Stallion Mountain are $83 per round and $113 on weekends. Deals are available that can lower the price.
Features
The course has been upgraded over the years, and the greens were completely resurfaced in 2001. This has made it a fairer putting surface that gives the golfer an easier read and a truer roll after the putt is struck.
Misconceptions
The length of the Secretariat makes it one of the most difficult courses in the Las Vegas area when played from the championship tees. Stallion Mountain is a very intimidating course when played from the blue championship tees. However, when played from the shorter tees, the course is much fairer and almost—but not quite—easy.
