Course Spotlight: Angel Park Mountain is an Arnold Palmer delight
Angel Park, overall, is billed as “the world’s most complete golf experience.” What is located at the facility lends proof to that statement because Angel Park features two Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole courses, a light par 3 course, a lighted putting course and driving range, a restaurant and bar with large patio area, plus a fully-stocked pro shop, and other amenities such as a junior program and member loyalty clubs. Angel Park is professionally managed by OB Sports.

Mountain Course Spotlight
The Mountain Course at Angel Park is a fun course to play. The course is a par 71 and measures 6,722 yards from the tips. There are sweet views of the mountains and the Las Vegas valley from the tee boxes, fairways and greens. Overall, the holes offer enough intrigue to keep a golfer’s attention throughout the round.
“Playing the Mountain Course is a great experience for a lot of reasons, but two of those are the views golfers get of the Spring Mountains one way and the entire valley the other way,” said Angel Park Head Professional Tony Blasius. “We have the best of both worlds when it comes to the views. As for the golf, the course isn’t overly long, but you need to be on point with where you hit approach shots into the greens because they are very challenging. The greens aren’t big as far as square footage, but there are a lot of slopes and there is plenty of movement on the greens. Sometimes you believe you have a downhill putt, but because of the natural slope of the terrain it could be level or even uphill. The greens roll very well and as I talk to you today they are rolling about an 11 on the stimp meter.”
The Mountain course opened in 1990 and has been a local and visitor favorite ever since. The course is located in Summerlin. The Angel Park patio has become a Happy Hour hotspot and features live music and other specials at certain times throughout the year.
