Angel Park Golf Club - Mountain Review

Two plush Arnold Palmer-designed courses, a lighted 12-hole (par-3) Cloud Nine Short Course and a lighted all-grass putting course make Angel Park the most diversified golf facility in the city. All four courses feature mature grass and are always meticulously groomed. For added entertainment or a quick bite, a Mediterranean-style clubhouse with a generous patio looks out on waterfalls and ponds that surround The World's Original Putting Course and help cool the air on those warm summer nights. Besides great golf, the club and staff create a friendly atmosphere to help make Angel Park a great spot for a post-round meal or casual date.

The par-71 Mountain Course (opened in 1990) measures 6,722 yards from the back tees, with a rating/slope of 72.4/128. The Mountain features fewer forced tee carries than the Palm, as well as larger (recently redone) greens and shorter par 3's; but with longer par 4's, tighter par 5's and more elevation changes, it offers a tougher test overall.

The first hole is a 433-yard dogleg right. The fairway is fairly wide, but a large bunker right can punish tee shots cutting too much off the corner. A single bunker guards the green. The 509-yard, par-5 second hole is rated the toughest on the course. It's a slight dogleg right with a fairway bunker right that can be reached from the tee. Water right runs from that bunker to the green, which is further guarded by a big bunker front left. The 11 par 4s, except for the 320-yard third hole, are medium to long; five play 425 yards or more. The redesigned 425-yard ninth is a tough test. The dogleg left features water left from tee to green, a long fairway bunker right and a fairway that tapers tightly toward the green.

Angel Park also offers an award-winning youth program -- it was VegasGolfer magazine's 2002 readers' pick for the best in the city. Junior camps are offered in summer.
