Reflection Bay Course in Las Vegas to Reopen Soon


Reflection Bay Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas will reopen in October, after a complete restoration guided by original designer Jack Nicklaus. The course has been closed since 2009.

Opened for play in 1998, the first public Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Nevada is surrounded by mountain vistas with each hole offering views of the 320-acre, manmade Lake Las Vegas.

"The revitalization of Reflection Bay is a significant step in the recovery of Lake Las Vegas as the luxury new home and resort destination in Henderson," said Patrick Parker, division president for Raintree Investment Corp., exclusive agent for Paulson & Co. "This fall, we are celebrating the restoration of Reflection Bay and the opening of the new road to Lake Las Vegas, Galleria Parkway."

Reflection Bay was home to the Wendy's 3Tour Challenge from 1998 to 2007. Reflection Bay features five holes stretching along a mile and a half of shoreline, with the 200-yard, par-3 eighth occupying a peninsula jutting into Lake Las Vegas.

"This course was arguably the most beautiful in Vegas and will be again," said Jeff Levine, senior vice president of Century Golf Partners, the management company operating it. "The course is already green, a welcome sight to residents. We're on track to start booking tee times for as early as October 2014."

Located 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, Reflection Bay Golf Club boasts a 32,000-square-foot clubhouse with a full golf shop, as well as casual and fine dining. The club also offers a private white-sand beach, paddle boarding, and access to the La Contessa yacht. Concerts will be held on select nights.

Reflection Bay is now owned by Paulson & Co., which purchased the course and nearly 1,000 additional acres of Lake Las Vegas land. The company's first order of business was rejuvenating the 7,184-yard, par-72 golf course, under the direction of Nicklaus Design.

"We expect new and returning golfers will once again fall in love with playing Reflection Bay," Parker said.
