About DragonRidge Country Club:
DragonRidge Country Club is now a fully private facility. Located in the mountainous terrain of the exclusive
McDonald Highlands
Community, the course is currently semi-private until all of
its memberships are sold.
Designed by the well-known Jay Morrish and Dave Druzisky, DragonRidge Country Club quickly has become one of the known courses in Las Vegas to play when you are here. The tables can wait if you want to play some serious golf.
Even though the course only plays a little off 7,000 yards from
the tips, do not let that fool you. Being fully dynamited from
the mountains, and a slope and rating of 72.9/143, DragonRidge
has some shots that you will not think are possible. Your ball
will
fly
over many
desert
washes, bunkers, and water features during its flight. This course
does play to all golfers with 6 sets of tee boxes and generous
fairways.
DragonRidge Country Clubs is also privy to some of the most breathtaking
views in the Las Vegas Valley. Number 2, being one of the most
popular holes on the course, is a par-3 that is 229 yards from
the tips. The nicel thing about this hole is that it plays 2-4
clubs shorter due to the tee-box being on top of a mountain. You
have to see it to believe it. You can see the entire Vegas
Valley from one end to another….bring your camera.
The famous holes that you have to look out for are 10 and 18.
These holes both have split fairways; meaning you have 2 different
fairways
to choose from. All we can say is go left on 10 and right on 18…you
should be safe with that. Do not be scared; the holes may look
intimidating, but the landing areas are ample. Smart shot selection
is a must.
The best thing about DragonRidge Country Club, if the layout isn’t
enough, are the greens. These are the best greens in town, year
around. The superintendent of the course received Superintendent
of the Year in 2000. Another quick tip for this course is that
every green breaks toward the east part of the Valley. You will
see from every view that the city slopes to the east, and so do
the greens. You may not realize it or even think it is possible,
but after a round or two
on the course, you will want to take the valley’s slope into
consideration on each putt. From past experience, the valley does
not affect the putt on number 16.
DragonRidge Country Club is located 15-20 minutes from the Las
Vegas Strip. The course included a full driving range, chipping
green with bunker, and putting green. The facility also has a 35,000
square-foot clubhouse at the top of the mountain that makes you
feel like you can see the entire city. The course runs Bermuda
on the fairways and Bentgrass on the greens. The greens come with
severe to tricky breaks, especially with the valley having its
affect.
The clubhouse contains a fully
stocked golf shop and a full-service bar and restaurant. Get your
round in before DragonRidge Country Club becomes fully private
and they close their doors to the outside public. Trust VIP Golf
Services, it is a “must play”.
