About Spanish Trail Country Club
Spanish Trail Country Club represents private championship desert golf in Southern Nevada - a course that delivers legitimate challenge and quality conditioning at 7,102 yards from championship tees.
History
Spanish Trail Country Club — History
Spanish Trail Country Club opened in 1984 as one of the Las Vegas valley's pioneering private golf communities, with 27 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. The Sunrise, Lakes and Canyon nines combine into three distinct 18-hole routings, and the club has long been a fixture of upscale private golf in the southwest valley.
Design
Spanish Trail Country Club — Design
Robert Trent Jones Jr. built Spanish Trail as 27 holes rather than eighteen: three nines of par 36 -- Canyon at 3,583 yards, Lakes at 3,519 and Sunrise at 3,418 from the Blue tees -- played in three combinations. Canyon/Lakes is the championship pairing at 7,102 yards, rated 74.1 with a slope of 140; Lakes/Sunrise plays 6,937 and Sunrise/Canyon 7,001. Jones routed all three through the same mature Las Vegas parkland, so the character holds whichever eighteen you draw, but Canyon is the one that carries the length.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play Spanish Trail Country Club
One of the few 27-hole private clubs in Las Vegas, and the only Robert Trent Jones Jr. design in the city. Three interchangeable nines mean the eighteen changes with the pairing, and the Canyon/Lakes combination at 7,102 yards with a 140 slope is the sternest of the three. Play is limited to members and their guests.
The Round
The Journey at Spanish Trail Country Club
I.
The Opening
Spanish Trail's championship eighteen pairs two of its three nines, Canyon and Lakes, and starts on Canyon, which the club calls the longest of the three, with views of the Spring Mountain Range. The 1st is the longest par 4 on the card and the No. 3 handicap, while the par-4 5th is No. 1. A par-3 2nd and the par-5 6th complete the opening six.
II.
The Middle
The 7th is the longest par 3 in this routing, and the 8th, the longer of Canyon's two par 5s, leads to the 9th, ranked No. 5. The turn brings the Lakes nine, which the club rates its toughest and where water appears on six of the nine holes. After the par-4 10th and par-5 11th comes the 180-yard 12th, the club's signature par 3, with two lake carries.
III.
The Finish
The 13th, a par 4, is the No. 2 handicap and the hardest hole on the Lakes nine by the club's own ranking. The par-3 14th and par-4 15th lead to the 16th, ranked No. 4, and the 17th, another par 4 of more than 430 yards. The 18th is a par 5 rated the easiest hole on the card, a fair chance to finish with a birdie.
How to Play It
Spanish Trail Country Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Spanish Trail offers seven tee options on each pairing, down to Green tees of about 5,100 yards on the club's card. On the Lakes nine, where water is in play on six holes, aim away from the water on every approach and accept a longer putt. On the 12th, take enough club to clear both lake carries rather than aiming at the flag.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Rated 74.1 with a 140 slope from the Blue tees, Canyon/Lakes rewards position over power. The club counts 120 bunkers across its 27 holes and tree-lined fairways, so a drive in the short grass is worth more than distance on the 5th and 13th, the two hardest holes. Most mid-handicaps fit the White tees, about 6,500 yards on the club's card, or the Combo set.
Advanced / Low Handicap
Length shows on the par 4s: the 1st, 5th and 17th all exceed 420 yards from the Blue tees, and the 7th is a par 3 of more than 210. The four par 5s, including a closing 18th rated easiest on the card, are where a low round is made. On the 12th, the two lake carries leave little margin for a mis-hit.
