Tuscany Country Club

Opened in 2003, Tuscany Golf Club is one of Henderson's newest upscale clubs. The course is designed by the Ted Robinson design group, designers of over 170 courses world wide.

The course, located in the southeastern part of the Las Vegas Valley just two miles west of Lake Las Vegas, has been ready for players since November 2001. But construction delays and issues with a proposed access road delayed Tuscany's opening.

The upside to this is the course was given two years to grow in with no rounds played on it. The result is a course that is mature beyond its years.

The entire club is set in a Tuscan theme, with everything from an extensive wine list in the clubhouse to aptly named tee markers (Champagne, Merlot, Chardonnay, Port). The centerpiece of the club's off-course amenities is the Old-World Tuscan Village, which makes up 31,000 square feet and features shops and dining options that complement your round before or after.

On the course, 68 white sand bunkers and an abundance of water compliment the 6,906-yard course. From the forward tees the course plays 5,568 yards.

The finishing holes on each nine leave a lasting impression. The ninth, a dogleg-left par 4, has water on the left side and two bunkers on the right - and that's just off the drive. The green is guarded by water in the front, on the left and behind the green, as well as bunkers on the right.

The 18th is a monster: A 440-yard par 4 playing into an island green with a waterfall off to the left. The rest of the course plays a modest 6,904 yards from the championship tees.
