Coures was not in optimal shape, not bad but I expected perfect conditions after checking in and being sold on perfect conditions by staff. Greeting staff helpful on arrival. After bags were loaded onto carts, a very friendly course official introduced himself and proceeded the sell us on how important a caddie would be. He mentioned how the push and pull of the mountain along with winds and slopes could be a three club difference. He sold our sponsor so he hired the caddie, a nice kid but provided no additional help that the carts large colorful screen couldn't provide. At hole six, after being giving given a couple of miss reads for my self and fellow players we questioned why we needed the caddie. At hole 14 we quit using his reads and putted the same. I guess my point is you do NOT need a caddie, even if it's your first time playing there. Our entire foursum had not played there before. The course is pretty much in front of you, and along with the cart GPS save your money. On a lot of the holes you can smell jet exhausts, the course runs along airport. It took almost five hours to play, the caddie stated there's no rush. I'm use to playing at a better pace, not hit and wait. To end the day we planned on eating at the restruaunt overlooking the course. After waiting for ten minutes with no one coming to help us I asked the bartender could we get something to eat. The bartender advised there were no servers today and that would be him, he didn't know how long it would take for us to get our meals. Not really a must play course, and not difficult enough to require a caddie.
Bali Hai Golf Club is home to a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Nevada. This South Pacific inspired layout is accented by a tropical environment of palm trees, expansive sandy waste areas and cascading water features. Mandalay Bay (the hotel that is), provides a backdrop to the north-facing holes.
I played here a year ago. I travelled from Australia and playing Bali Hai was one of the best experiences, so memorable. All staff were very attentive especially the woman in the pro shop. The course was in impecable condition. Stunning. Thank you
Amazing course for being so close to the Strip. Pricey but a great golf experience
Really overpriced for the course condition. Interesting to play though. Unique location also.
My son and I played there on 7/7 in the morning and it was fantastic. The course was in excellent shape, the greens ran true and the staff were awesome. From the pro shop to the starter to the guys and girls who cleaned my clubs, you felt first rate. I have seen many reviews about the constant noise but this is really a NON ISSUE. Yeah, planes are taking off and it can be a little noisey for 10-15 seconds but nothing horrible. It certainly didn't affect our play. Most of the holes, we didn't even notice it. The Pro Shop had anything and everything you would want and in fact, the course had a game on some of the par 3's that if you wagered any sort of money, if you hit the green, that amount was doubled for pro shop credit. Even if you didn't hit the green, you were still given pro shop credit for the wager you had placed. I was going to buy something regardless and loved this notion and loved it even more when my son and I both hit the green. The club house food was amazing and VERY reasonable. Not Strip prices, but excellent prices, excellent food and service. I would highly recommend the course. It's challenging but not unfair. I'm a 12-15 handicap and I found it to be very fair. Had a great time and will be back!
Such a pleasure playing Bali Hai, totally different feel for a golf course, Desert + Palm trees + Planes landing beside you, pretty awesome experience :D Clubhouse is amazing, pro shop is super nice. Met a fellow canadian at the Pro Shop, everyone was accommodating and nice. Got a good deal when we played it but it was super worth $$$, will definitely play again.
I played Bali Hai this past Monday, and although I have read a few reviews that said the course wasn't too difficult, as a 16 handicapper, I beg to differ. Loved the course- great condition (fairways were awesome!) with the exception of the bunkers. One would think that at a $160 per round that the bunkers would have adequate amounts of sand. Pretty much like playing off of hard pan. But, as I said earlier, absolutely beautiful venue.
Wife booked a round for my birthday trip. I played the morning of April 9 (3 days ago) and had a WONDERFUL time. Course was in great shape and the views of the mountains in the distance were spectacular. The staff was very friendly and I didn't feel hounded by the rangers (saw them maybe 3 times - probably due to the course being fairly open). The only "negative" I encountered was that some of the ball washers did not have water. Some of the washers also did not have towels attached. No complaints other than that. The weather was also nice (temps were in the 60s) which added to the fun. Course was not overly busy and there was nobody pushing us (paired with another golfer). Playing 8-10 rounds/year, I don't shoot that low (100-105) but enjoy playing. The course wasn't overly hard for someone who shoots in that range. Bottom line, Bali Hai gets high marks from me. The price, while higher than I normally pay for several rounds combined, was definitely worth it for the round I played.
Great sporty course although windy conditions. Fairways are lush and greens are well maintained. It was a good first experience playing in Las Vegas. It was close, 10 mins from Delano, where we were staying at.
What a great place ,excelent food impecable grounds
Great place to escape the strip. Well worth the price for 18 here.
Nevada's Congressman arrives to Las Vegas, he meets people at the Bali Hai Golf Club for lunch at Cili's Restaurant. The Secretary of State is asked to speak in Southern Nevada. She receives a warm greeting at Cili's inside the Bali Hai Golf Club. I always look forward to lectures given at the Bali Hai Golf Club.
First this is a late review I played the course in July 2016, with that said I'll begin: fairways were greens were manicured perfectly. The greens rolled smoothly and I was lucky because the front desk told me that I would be the last person on the course for the day due to the aeration taking place later. But anyway , the greens and fairway were great. The practice range was more of a driving net or cage but the great part about it was the balls fed the tee automatically. With the heat and the dryness of the air that was great, barely worked up a sweat at the range/cage. The amenities were great with water bottles / troughs scattered around the course and the cart person driving the beverage cart continuously throughout my round. This was the first course I have ever played at where I didn't say to myself "where is the beverage cart at?". The course had plenty of challenges and the various lengths of the course made it challenging. Very scenic and reminded me of the course in Hawaii.
Nice, quiet course that is well maintained. Wide fairways and fast greens. The south pacific feel if the clubhouse is a nice touch. The 16th island green is a terrific challenge.
