Willow Creek Golf Club

Denny and I played golf today at the Willow Creek Golf Club in Pahrump,
Nevada. It is one of the two courses in town and the one we like to
play. Prices at this time of the year are reasonable at $25 to play 18
holes of golf with a riding cart. The course itself had some dry areas,
but we've had some unseasonably hot weather the past ten days so that's
understandable.

While you won't find tricky sand traps on the
course, there are a couple of ponds and creeks to traverse. Denny
played from the black (long) tees and found a couple of the par 3s to
be a challenge because of their length. The pace of play was enjoyable
because the course was not crowded on a Tuesday and there was a nice
breeze to keep the temperatures down early in the day.

There's
a nice little restaurant next to the smallish pro shop where at ten
o'clock in the morning the tables were lit by tea lights in clear glass
bubbles which adds a very relaxing atmosphere to the room. The best
thing about the golf course may be its group of employees who are all
personable, outgoing and helpful. All of which keeps us coming back
whenever we're in the area. It's a nice habit.
