Shadow Creek or any other suggestions

My boyfriend and I are staying at Bellagio in September. He is a very keen golfer and plays off a handicap of 5 and enjoys playing good courses.

I%26#39;m planning to treat him to a round of golf whilst we are there and have read a few reviews on Shadow Creek. Can anyone please help me with the following:

I believe having read TA that a private limousine, use of the driving range, cart, clubs, snacks and drinks are included. Is this still correct?

As I%26#39;m not a golfer he will be going on his own, so will the Caddie go around the 18 holes with him or are they likely to pair him with other people as I don%26#39;t know after paying $500 he would appreciate going around on his own.

Finally, are there any other golf courses that could be a possibility.

Shadow Creek or any other suggestions

Kevling, I have played Shadow Creek several times and will be playing again next week. Your info is correct. One must use the hotel limo. Cart, range etc. is of course included. Caddie likewise but a tip to the limo driver(s) and caddie is a must. He may play by himself or ask to be paired. They may not be able to accomodate his day or time if he wants to be paired. He may walk or ride on the cart. Carts are almost always used however, so expect to ride. If he plays by himself, the round will be short as pace of play is fantastic due to the exclusiveivity. If he is paying and gets no casino host help, round is $500. Check to see if your September date is open as they close for overseeding about then.....

Hello Underpar,

Many thanks for your quick response. When booking Shadow Creek did you have to leave your credit card details as i can%26#39;t find a secure site on Bellagio web site to give this details or do they just take name and preferred date?

One other query is about the golf clubs that you play with - do they have a wide range of choice as my boyfriends pride and joy are his Mizuno%26#39;s but as we are coming from the UK we will not be bringing them with us?

Thanks again.

Kevling, call direct to Shadow 1 866 260-0069 in the US. You need to know when they close for overseeding. Also, if you do not have a host you will need to go through the hotel. If you have reservations at Bellagio already call and talk to the concierge. You CAN NOT get a tee time unless you go through a MGM-MIrage property. The concierge will verify your reservation and schedule. If Shadow is closed Cascata is a very comparable alternative. Totally different type of course but an equal, if not even better, class of luxury. Also ask about rental clubs. There is no way they will be Mizuno%26#39;s as they are generally seen as ';players clubs'; for people more like, well, your boyfriend! Not the average high roller hacker.
