The Bali High Golf Club sets itself apart from other courses in the Las Vegas Valley. The course is situated directly off the Las Vegas Strip making it one of the closest golf courses to the casino action.
Bali Hai is a par-71 course that stretches 7,002 yards from the tips and offers some of the best scenery Vegas has to offer. The course is only seven years old and has already found its place among the great courses in Las Vegas.
The course lets the everyday golfers ease into play and heats up with tougher holes and more challenging shots as the day goes on. One of the most notable holes is the 468 yard par-4 3rd hole that has a creek running the entire length of the right-side. It’s not always best to favor the left of this hole though because of the massive bunker followed by a long group of trees. The straighter the better on this hole or else you will be fishing in no time.
One other somewhat challenging hole worth mentioning is the par-3 number 16 with its island green. Selecting the right club on this hole may be the most important decision you will have to make. More often than not there will be a rear pin placement which is tougher than you think. If you try to lay up on the front of the green this will leave you with a hefty uphill put that could make that chance at par disappear quickly. Precision is key because you don’t want to hit it short, too left or too right because that water is not giving that ball back. Of course there is the rarity that you hit a line drive too far directly into Cili, Bali Hai’s world class restaurant. It’s a surprise that the restaurants diners won’t expect and one that you don’t want to explain.
This is just a taste of what Bali Hai has to offer. The course is spectacular, the views of the Strip are breathtaking, and the feel of the course brings you in for an amazing experience. Bali Hai is also one of the best kept courses in Las Vegas, so there are no worries about dried out greens sky-rocketing your ball in all directions, if that’s the case you may just need to rethink the way you putt. It’s a game of changes and Las Vegas keeps you guessing at every turn.
