Memphis Championship Barbecue
Only in Las Vegas could you go from a Scottish-designed golf course to Memphis-style barbecued ribs over the course of a few miles. Celebrate a great day at the Royal Links Golf Club, or any other Vegas course, with a heaping helping of barbecued ribs or chicken at Memphis Championship Barbecue. The price is just right for the generous portions, and if you don't like barbecue, there's always fried catfish or the huge hamburgers.

Garduno's of Mexico
Those looking to rein in their spending habits in Las Vegas should consider making a day of it by playing a game of inexpensive golf at Black Mountain Golf Club and then having a late lunch or dinner at Garduno's. The dress code is as informal as the menu. Selections include Mexican restaurant staples such as fajitas, enchiladas and burritos. A basket of fluffy sopapillas arrives at your table without even being asked for, and the guacamole is prepared tableside. If you get an early tee time, this is a great place for lunch because the daytime portions are as big as the dinner portions. Garduno's has been named the best Mexican restaurant in town for 11 years in a row by readers of the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Mayflower Cuisinier
You can go from the Bali Hai golf course to eating spicy Thai shrimp at the Mayflower Cuisinier in just a matter of minutes. The price for an Asian dinner at the Mayflower pales in comparison to the greens fees at the luxurious Bali Hai, but both will bring the same amount of pleasure. Dinner entrees run the gamut from seared tuna to grilled lamb chops. The lunch menu costs significantly less, making the Mayflower an excellent choice if you have a late tee time. Afternoon tee times during the summer are also significantly cheaper at the Bali Hai course than early tee times.
