Siena Golf Club

Armed with 18 masterful golf holes, 97 devilish pot bunkers, massive three-tired greens, some of the best course conditions west of the Mississippi and sublime views of the surrounding mountains, Siena Golf Club declared its arrival on the Vegas golf scene.

Six different water features surround the course, including "Lake Siena" and a number of holes feature dramatic artificial waterfalls. Each hole has its own distinct beauty, whether it's their views of the strip, Red Rock Mountains or Spring Mountains.

Siena Golf Club opened in June of 2000 ready to do battle with the rest of the top courses in the Las Vegas area. Stylistically, Siena Golf Club emphasizes brains over brawn. The nearly 100 bunkers were strategically placed along the side of greens and fairways, demanding that players hit the ball down the middle or face the consequences.

Aside from the deep, fluffy-white penal bunkers, Siena's other design signatures are its behemoth, multi-tiered greens and its gradually narrowing fairways, leveling the playing field for long and short hitters. The course plays 6,816 yards from the championship tees.

The course's greens are large, even by today's standards, making three and four putts the norm and not the exception if you aren't accurate with your approaches. Pin placement is of the essence at Siena, as many of the greens sport two and three tiers that would make even the sharpest putter think twice about judging distance and line.
