Sitting alone in a city block on the north side of Las Vegas sits North Las Vegas Disc Golf Park. It's a purpose-built par 3 ball golf course that has two disc golf baskets parked on each ball golf hole. One basket is short, one is long. If you play all 9 holes twice, you'll get your 18 holes in.

When I arrived at dusk, I was surprised to see I was the only golfer on site (either ball golf or disc golf). Apparently the course is pretty new and local players are still checking it out. Being that it was quiet, I got rock star parking right outside the pro shop. I went inside, paid my $6 greens fee and made my way outside. There are two practice baskets to work with directly outside the pro-shop. This was nice because you could putt from one to the other, then turn around and do it again. Once warmed up, it was a short walk up to hole 1.

Most par 3 ball golf/disc golf combo courses I play are pretty short. Not this one. I played to the gold baskets so each hole was just a bit out of reach for me, but it was still fun because I got to really rip my drives.The holes are quite forgiving since you're playing one to one on the ball golf course. Everything was pretty open and wide.

Teepads were artificial turf mats, but I didn't have any issues with slipping or anything like that. Baskets are all fairly new and easy to spot. Using the map, it was quite easy to make my way through the course. Some of the baskets were hidden around corners or behind trees, so that kept the course interesting and made each hole different.

Hole 9/18 offers the backdrop of the Las Vegas strip behind the basket. It was quite a beautiful site.

Here are some highlights of the facility:

1- Pro shop on site
2- Beverages available in the pro shop
3- Two practice baskets
4- Great map at the beginning of the course, also available in a handout
5- Clean facility, grass cut and maintained
6- Fully lighted to play at night (and without the heat!)
7- New baskets
8- Quiet, no walkers or joggers
9- Friendly staff
10- Easy parking
11- Fun variety of holes

The obvious con is just 9 true holes. There are two baskets per teepad, but they are usually just short/far, or left/right. Not too much difference in the layout.

Also the $6 greens fee may seem steep for some. I didn't mind it though, as it was obvious this place needs income to stay in top shape.

Some of the ball golf bunkers weren't clearly defined. So if you were to play them as OB like you should, you could get easily confused because the sand appeared to spill over the edges quite a bit.

I couldn't find the gold basket on 5... but it was probably user error. I ended up playing to the basket on 8 instead.

All in all, this is a SOLID course. I was quite impressed and would easily play this again when I come back to Vegas. It would be quite a treat to play this with a group. You could play 9 holes at dusk, come inside the shop for a snack, then go back out and play the remaining 9 under the lights. Park in the lot on Brooks Ave, then walk in to the pro shop. Have fun!

-Beautiful course.
-Play at night under the lights and out of the heat.
-Nice baskets.
-Pro shop with discs, food, drinks, and beer.
-Apparently they will deliver beer or food to you on the course, although I did not utilize this.
-Like most course, the locals were cool and helpful.
-Fun, thought out holes with two baskets per hole to create 18 unique holes.
-Garbages and benches at every tee.

-Fairly long. No holes below 300 feet.
-Sprinklers kick on certain days, although it makes the course cooler which can be a Pro.
-A couple dark spots, but I had a few shanked drives and managed to leave with all of my discs.
-If they are not busy they will close early.

I had an absolute blast playing this course. If you are in the Vegas area and haven't played dg under lights, definitely try this out. The course is a touch long, with no real ace runnable holes unless you have a big arm. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's nice to have one hole to take a poke at. This does not ruin this at all though as I ended up playing two rounds here. Play a round on one set of baskets and switch to the other after you get done with 9 to play a fun 18. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

- Very well maintained
- Turf tee-pads (ultra grippy, even in the rain)
- Challenging course with a good amount of long, tight, unforgiving fairways
- Pay to play so no park goers in the fairways
- It's lit at night for some awesome night golf
- Friendly staff with very affordable drink/food options

My only con is that it's not open to disc gofers all day (at this time).

It's great to finally have a pay to play in town. The rest of our courses are in city and residential parks that can be very frustrating with park goers everywhere.

-pads were great and turf should hopefully hold up nicely
-signs at all pads with nice accurate maps for each hole.
-great use of elevation which is rare for many courses in the area
-variety of shots needed to avoid OB areas
-course open late to allow for some rounds to be played after the sun goes down on hot summer days.

First off all these "cons" are nit picky and will more than likely be addressed as this was day 1 of the course being open.

-Few holes could be adapted to not be close to errant drives from other tee pads. (Hole 18 white)
-arrows on the baskets point back down the fairway not to next pin. (It's not hard to find the next pad anyway)
-no numbers on the baskets

This is from opening day and I had a great time. The Staff at the course were all excited about the new course and also the sport in general. They have a pro shop in the clubhouse with a decent selection. Plans to expand the shop are also in the works.

Corse plays great and look forward to the community support getting some more excellent courses in the valley.
