It\'s sometimes hard to tell if that thing behind Wynn Las Vegas is a golf course or a CIA annex.
The staff treats Steve Wynn\'s latest $500-green-fee course (he introduced that nice round number to Las Vegas golf with Shadow Creek, which he no longer owns) like it houses national security documents. Maybe the real dossier on weapons of mass destruction is buried under the fifth green.
Hey, it\'s Vegas. Anything is possible.
That would explain the paranoia surrounding the Wynn Golf and Country Club. Pro shop attendant Heather Wicks made it seem like she was letting a few potential customers through the pearly gates when she allowed them to walk out onto the patio that overlooks the 18th green.
\"We\'re really not supposed to let anyone out there,\" she said.
All you see from this perch is the lushness of the grass - and Wynn Las Vegas is lush - and a 37-foot waterfall at the back of the green that would make Donald Trump blush.
According to Wicks, the course averages only 20 to 50 rounds per day Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday it might get up to a 100 rounds. Playing here is a reward for casino high rollers.
Oh, sure, anyone staying at the Wynn can walk up to the counter, plunk down $500 and get sent out to play. It\'s just meant for high rollers, right down to the CIA-level secrecy. Tall boundary walls keep passers-by from getting an unpaid glimpse. The scorecards don\'t even include hole diagrams.
Wouldn\'t want anyone who didn\'t drop half a grand to see which way that par 4 doglegs.
\"It\'s beautiful and well-kept,\" Wicks assured us. \"Right now in Las Vegas it\'s the best-kept one by far.\"
To know Wynn\'s course, ask a caddie For a more close-up scoop on Wynn Las Vegas golf, your better off walking right past the pro shop hawking the Wynn polo shirts, out the back patio and down to the caddie station. Caddies love the game, and the ones here will talk to you about Wynn\'s golf course all day long
