Located a few miles west of Lake Las Vegas, Tuscany will be down the road from some very famous neighbors. But this Ted Robinson designed course should quickly begin tempting people to plan an extra stop during their golf vacations.

Tuscany is different from many of Robinson’s well-known Palm Springs courses. While those courses are often designed around waterworks and exotic plant life, Tuscany has a vintage feel and plays like a desert course. The clubhouse will have the air of a Tuscany wine village and wine barrels are scattered throughout the course. The course plays to 6,906 yards and has relatively forgiving fairways. But sparkling white sand bunkers and water can cause trouble, especially on the back nine.

The course’s finishing hole should quickly become one of the area ‘s most talked about holes. A 440-yard par-4, No. 18 has a fairway that drops off about 250 yards from the tee box. Any ball that rolls too far will set up a thorny second shot. Water runs in front of the green and bunkers catch anything that rolls off the back. With the wind nearly always blowing into your face, this hole should turn a few heads as Tuscany becomes a Nevada favorite.
