Here's a recipe for Vegas golf
success: Start with 27 holes designed by the esteemed architect Bob Cupp. Offer
special "replay" rates for those wishing to play an additional 9 or 18 holes;
add a big bar featuring a lovely veranda overlooking a special 28th hole (on
which to settle bets) perfectly situated between prominent water holes 18 and
27; throw in an award-winning 34,000-square-foot clubhouse; equip the golf carts
with graphic distance-finding systems; give several membership options, and --
voila! -- you've got Silverstone Golf Club, one of the best new additions to the
Las Vegas golf scene.
Great views of the Valley abound at Silverstone
Golf Club, especially of Sheepherder's Mountain to the east and Mount Charleston
to the west. This desert resort course features rye-grass fairways and roughs
and bentgrass greens. Cupp's design is reflected in the names of the three
nines: Valley, Desert and Mountain, which in order rank tough, tougher and
toughest.
