Vegas Golf Courses Rankings: Part 1 - #53 thru #38 - a podcast by The Breakfast Ball

Episode 31 - March 5th, 2020 -

About 6-8 months ago, I noticed a considerable uptick in visits to my Vegas Golf Ranking page on the website. Since then, it's been by far the most popular page on The Breakfast Ball. I updated it enough that it stays valid, but it had me thinking about recording a show regarding the same topic. I reached out to Joe from HittinGreens about recording the show with me, and he thought it was a great idea as well.

We did this on a points system and then averaged our two rankings out for a final number. The points are broken down like this:
GOLF COURSE:  Design - 15pts  Practice Facility - 15pts  Course Conditions - 15pts  Atmosphere - 10pts The total points possible on the GOLF COURSE section is: 55pts
OTHER FACTORS:  Pro Shop - 15pts  Staff - 10pts  Price - 20pts Total points on the
OTHER FACTORS section is: 45pts
For a grand total of 100pts

We wanted the main ranking to be based on the golf course, and that is why there is a higher value of points available. But, we also know other key factors that go into choosing where to play. Price, for instance, is a MAJOR element in deciding if you'll tee it up or not, and that is why it has the point value it does, but it doesn't exceed the golf course total value. Here is a list of the courses we talk about in this episode with the ranking number: 

#53 Las Vegas Golf Center (29.5) 
#52 Painted Desert (33.5) 
#51 Durango Hills (41.0) 
#50 Sunrise Vista (47.0)
 #49 North Las Vegas Par 3 (48.0) 
#48 Aliante Golf Club (48.0) 
#47 Boulder City Muni (49.0) 
#46 Palm Valley (53.5)
#45 Los Prados (54.0) 
#44 Las Vegas Golf Club (56.5) 
#43 Arroyo Golf Club (56.5)
 #42 Desert Willow (57.0) 
#41 Eagle Crest (58.0)
#40 The Club at Sunrise (58.5) 
#39 Canyon Gate Country Club (59.0) 
#38 Angel Park - Cloud 9 (59.5)
