Recently
selected as the "Best New Course in Las Vegas" by Vegas
Golfer Magazine and their readers, Aliante Golf Club has been
receiving rave reviews ever since. This
memorable 18-hole championship course was designed by Scottsdale-based
Gary Panks Associates. Gary Panks has a long-standing reputation
for designing golf courses that enhance the environment, create
value, and provide an enjoyable experience for golfers. For
the Aliante Golf Club, Panks designed a 6,900-yard, par-72 course.
He emphasized that careful consideration was given to both the
enjoyment of golfers and the safety and convenience of home
owners.
"Since this
will be a public golf course, we are maximizing turf to approximately
125 acres, which will offer wide landing areas for golfers and
a good degree of safety for homeowners," Panks said, adding
that the physical characteristics of the terrain enabled his
design team to create a series of very interesting and challenging
holes. In other areas, the landscape pallet provides for ample
shade trees and massing of shrubs and ground covers, while smaller
flowering trees add abundant color and texture.
The golf shop features
a retail facility, a restaurant/snack bar and a covered pavilion
and patio that can accommodate group events. |
