Wolf Creek is a good hour, Coyote Springs is probably and an hour and 15 and Paiute is probably 30 or so from Caesar's...That's a lot of desert golf you'll be playing, be sure to pack some ammo.

Wolf Creek is about an hour 15 minutes from the strip. Coyote Springs is a little closer, around 50 minutes. Paiute is 20-30 minutes depending on traffic

BTW, my avatar is the par 5 #12 at Wolf Creek.

How expensive a cab is it to Wolf Creek or Piaute?

You'd be better off renting a car

Ha ha classic oliversax,..sounds like your in the wrong job, you should be a tour guide for the English in Vegas, your little itinerary has got me buzzing already, I think our week over there will end up something like that,. And yes,..that is the final word, WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS.. cannot wait.

Great photos geoangus,.. that rio secco looks quality as well,... You Americans are just spoilt for choice..and now I'm undecided between Rio secco and coyote springs,

If I suggested to the boys that we play 2 rounds one day at one of courses which would you suggest, would it be wolf's creek because its that good or would you suggest play 2 of the courses at paiute..

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I would pick Wolf Creek over Pauite, hands down

Pros-
- if you're gonna drive 75 minutes to one of the most unique layouts in the world, you'll want to make it worth your while and squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of it. 2 rounds should do it.
- Wolf Creek has such severe elevations that the 1st round will be a total guess, distance wise
- 1st round is for taking in the sites, taking pictures, practicing picking your jaw off the ground. 2nd round is to chase birdies and a decent score, aka real golf
- replay rates make Wolf more of a savings than just about any other course in Vegas
- before I die, I'll give up my last meal to have one last round at Wolf Creek

Cons-
- you cannot walk Wolf Creek. I know you he-man Brits think it's anathema to ride while playing golf, so if riding may ruin your game, then go to Pauite, which is much more walking friendly.


I'm hoping you will remember us and come back to post pictures (the clean ones ) after your trip.

Regardless, 18 guys + golf + 7 nights + Vegas = trip of a lifetime. You can't go wrong whatever course you decide to play.
