atleast in another hour or so. Opens at 12:01 am tonight. Illini is going to try to take all their money. I just received an email from Wynn LV as I inquired what the green's fees were for their private golf course. Only people staying at the hotel can play and the green's fee is $500!!!!!!! I can play Pebble Beach for less than that!! It does look like an unbelievable course though. PGA Tour stop down the road maybe??
Shadow Creek is now owned by MGM Mirage (Mandalay). They changed the exclusivity to a degree where they allow some people to play it for a fee. Back when Wynn had it, not only did you have to be a guest, you had to have a pretty high credit limit with the house just to be considered for a round. They said in the old days 30-40 people a day might play it, now its more like over 100 during prime season. Still very exclusive though.
If you want a great view of the Wynn course, ride on the monorail and stand or sit on the left side going towards the Sahara or the right side going towards the MGM. You will get a birds eye view. Nice looking, but I get the feeling it isn't the best course in town. Lots of great courses here, hard to imagine one on such a small footprint could be the best. And knowing Steve Wynn there is no chance in hell he has a tour stop there. Not his style. He doesn't want the minions who might not even patronize his place tramping over his property.

Shadow Creek is simply awesome. I got to caddy there one time. ONly way I could get on. Caddied in Wynn's group at near dusk and he walked right into me. He is legally blind. I think Wynn lets the kids from UNLv play at his courses. The kid from UNVL played great at Masters. Ryan Moore will be heard form again.l

LOL!
Actually, it was about a 153 yard par 3 against a beautiful waterfall background.
The guy I was caddying for let me play the hole since he knew we were not allowed to play the course.
Roughly a bogey golfer, but I landed a nice little 7-iron about 8 foot from the cup and drained the putt for the birdie.
I said right then and there that I intended to never play another hole at Shadow Creek.
