Black Mountain Country Club

Black Mountain is located thirty minutes from the strip in Henderson, NV. Established in 1957, the course is one of the oldest in the valley and still one of the most affordable and enjoyable. Recently, Black Mountain added nine new holes, and judging from our customers, this addition to the course has created an even better value. The course is not tough, but very traditional in design and feel. Mature, tree-lined fairways feature few undulations or trouble, but can play long on a windy day or from the back tees. The course offers generous landing areas; however players will have to be more accurate than in previous years in order to keep the ball in the "short stuff." Golfers will notice that the size of the greens tend to be smaller than most courses in Las Vegas, and this will force the player to be accurate on approach shots. That being said, the greens roll true and are relatively flat - creating a less demanding challenge for beginning or intermediate players.

The original nine has received more than $2 million in renovations, much of it coming on the Founder's nine to bring it more in line with the rest of golf course. The removal of 50 acres of irrigated turf and replacing it with crushed rock and natural desert landscape upgraded the experience. The natural areas shouldn't come into play, and the contrast of the sandy areas and green grass has added definition to the course, much what you expect when golfing in the desert.
