It is Katke-Cousins Golf Course. It also has another called, Sharf Course. Both are beautiful. We belong to both!

It all looks great. You are really enjoying a fascinating holiday Kaykaykay.
We are enjoying your tales.

Fun fun, Kaykaykay!! Will you pack a picnic basket for your day trips...or find some cool local pubs to eat at??
No picnic. We scarfed down great donuts from a mom-and-pop place known for them, along with some Starbucks. There's no food in the immediate park area that I know of, except for gas station grub, lol. There are lots of picnic spots for people who plan ahead (not us, lol).
We hiked, gawked and took goofy photos (like with my husband mimicking the petroglyphs done ages ago). It's amazing scenery about an hour from the Strip, and a lot of people don't know it's there. The landscape is vast and dramatic, and photos don't capture the splendor. But there's this cool app called Photosynth on iPhone that stitches together snapshots to form panoramas, and my husband took a bunch of those.
Besides amazing rock formations of all sorts, there are stretches of sand -- fine, soft grains, where you can hike. Some areas are sand colored and other stretches are pure rust red. We hiked in the shade of giant rock formations as a pleasant breeze cooled us some more. Barefoot was great because the sand was cool as well at the spot we picked.
As we left, there was a road about an hour long that wound past more great landscapes. Out of nowhere, four gorgeous horses appeared dangerously close to the road. I've never seen wild horses close up, but these were gorgeous. We didn't see any signs of humans or I would've thought they were domesticated horses, because I would've expected wild horses to look more beat up. I hope they weren't somehow escapees, because I don't know how they'll find water and I worry that cars will hit them.
After our drive, we stopped on the way for dinner on the patio of an Italian restaurant on Lake Las Vegas:
Events at Lake Las Vegas | Off-the Strip Entertainment in Henderson
We ate as the sun set.
It was a good day.

That looks like a lovely place to play golf!

I think I'll stick to the rugby (union and league) as it's much easier to follow!

I'm continuing to enjoy your holiday tales, Kaykaykay.
I think we will hire a car and explore next time we visit Las Vegas.

Kaykakay--your day trip sounds just fabulous all around! Sometimes those day trips can be worth more than a week's vacation because often times they are spontaneous and unplanned. Love the fact that you came across wild horses during your drive. I bet that was something and hope that you were able to catch a few pics of that. I'd be worried also if they were domesticated and escaped for there isn't a lot of water sources out there.
Love italian food and how wonderful to end it outside to enjoy more of the scenery. Henderson was a place that my folks thought about moving to before they chickened out and realized they wouldn't be close to their grandkids anymore! Thanks for sharing all of your adventures. This has been very exciting to read. My husband and I are gearing up for a trip out to Yellowstone National Park in September and I seriously need to get in shape for that! Your travels is making me more excited for our own!!
