Join Your Kentucky Golf Association Friends in a Team

Getaway to Las Vegas’ Finest Courses

The Kentucky Golf Association proudly announces a great fall getaway to the hospitality of America’s Entertainment Capital for a 5-day, 4-night golf escape with 3-rounds at some of Las Vegas’ top courses and resort-style stays at the MGM Grand on the famed Las Vegas Strip. The Kentucky Golf Association is partnering with Iconic Golf Events to bring Kentucky golfers together with members of the West Virginia Golf Association and the Sun Country Amateur Golf Association to compete in a four (4) person team best-ball competition November 15^th to the 19^th, but primarily to enjoy the camaraderie of the game and making new friends in the also-iconic venue of Las Vegas.

“We’re well aware of the reputation of Iconic Golf’s Barry Fleming in producing fun, exciting and competitive events as he has produced some Vegas events previously for our Golf House Kentucky.  We look forward to this, and future great events for our membership,” announced Golf House Kentucky CEO and Executive Director Jeff Adkerson.  

The 4-night, 3-round package is designed for arrival on Monday, November 15^th, departing on Friday, November 19^th, though there are extra-night package rates available so you can customize your trip (FYI-the Raiders host the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football the 14^th and host the Bengals on the 21st).

The Golf-

The Wolf Course at Paiute- Less than a half hour from the Strip, the Wolf Course invites you to take a bite out of Paiute’s signature course, marrying a Pete Dye layout with the raw beauty of the Nevada desert, with alternate landing areas, severe undulations and the stunning 15^th hole island green.

The Sun Mountain Course at Paiute- Wolf’s sister course, Sun Mountain plays over expansive rolling terrain with enchanting scenery, framed by a monstrous mountain backdrop. The desert landscape and sweeping slope changes make this a favorite of Paiute’s resort staff and it recently hosted a PGA TOUR Korn Ferry Event.

Cascata- Like Elvis, this course only needs one name. The Rees Jones layout is set in the foothills of the River Mountain Range about a half-hour south of the Strip. Soaring 3,200 feet above the desert floor, Cascata (Italian for ‘waterfall’) features a 418-foot waterfall cascading over the mountain above, through the practice area and even roars through the Tuscan-inspired clubhouse itself! Talk about ‘getaway’!

The Resort- 

The MGM Grand- Is there a more famous location on the already-famous Strip in Las Vegas? With accommodations that are an experience in itself, world-class entertainment and nearly a dozen restaurants, the MGM Grand has been a Vegas institution for decades yet keeps up-to-date with the latest hospitality trends. 

The Format-

The format is one that has produced some great excitement and participation from all team members- two best balls out of four, one gross/one net, using two separate balls. Teams will compete with their handicaps and will have separate tees for 54-and-under, 55-to-69 years old, 70 and over, and forward tees for women competitors. Mixed teams are encouraged.

“Time is of the essence,” says Fleming. “With three associations participating in the event, it should fill up quickly. Therefore, we suggest players put their teams together ASAP to guarantee a spot.”
