Stallion Mountain Golf Club Review
Just 10 minutes from the Strip down East Flamingo Road, Stallion Mountain Golf Club has been A-listed by both locals and visitors since its creation by Jeff Brauer and pro golfing legend Jim Colbert. As befitting a course created by a player, it's set up with players' convenience in mind. Right behind the clubhouse, golfers can find everything they need to prepare: a huge chipping green with a deep sand bunker, an expansive range and two big practice greens. The clubhouse also is home of the elegant Citation Room. With its broad windows looking out on the course and surrounding mountains, it's the perfect spot for pre- or post-outing events, banquets and meetings.
The mature layout features well-manicured fairways as well as multi-tiered greens, most of which are well bunkered and surrounded by undulations. Miss one of Stallion's greens and there's often a large swale or a hill or hollow to make a par save difficult. More than 90 bunkers -- many with high flash faces -- also up the ante, as do water hazards on half the holes.
The course also challenges with its length. It plays more than 7,200 yards, and every par 4 but one plays upward of 400 yards. The dogleg-left, 425-yard 17th is the No. 8 handicap hole. Water guards the turn as well as the left side of the two-tiered green, which also is guarded by monster-sized bunkers front and back.
Three of the four par 3's play more than 200 yards -- two over water. The 218-yard fifth is the signature hole. A beautiful, red rock-braced pond fronts the inverted heart-shaped, two-tiered green, which also is guarded by bunkers in back. If the wind's blowing, it's quite a ride.
The 550-yard 11th hole is the longest. Huge fairway bunkers and groves of pine trees challenge every shot on the way to one of the course's smallest greens. The 452-yard 18th sets up a photo finish. There's water right from fairway to green and bunkers along the left side to challenge both the drive and layup -- or go-for-broke -- second shot. A huge, clover-shaped bunker sits several yards shy of the multi-tiered green. It's a strong finishing hole on a tough but always fair, and always fun, course.
