Las Vegas - 9 stops - par 26
This is Las Vegas, where the map follows the actual city and the round is played on its real streets. The holes are built from real attractions, ending at Lorenzi Park. A quick 9-hole round with a par of 26 covers a walk of 3.5 mi. Skip knows these pavements well, even the parts where the pigeons fight over crumbs.
The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.
Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.
Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.
The Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas is a museum that houses items from the development of Las Vegas and the natural history of the area. You can find it on the campus of the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas, Nevada. This institution is one of seven Nevada State Museums operated by the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. The museum moved from Lorenzi Park to the Springs Preserve campus in 2008, and its name was changed from the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society in that same year. It eventually had its inception in 2011. If you are planning a visit, I should mention that the museum is open Thursday through Monday, from 9 am to 4 pm. It is a great spot to see how the city grew around the desert.
You will likely notice the water first at the Las Vegas Springs Preserve, as the site is built around the original water source for Las Vegas. Located approximately three miles west of downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, this protected area provides a look at the natural history of the region. The Las Vegas Valley Water District owns and operates the preserve, which functions as an educational area. Visitors can explore 180 acres of land dedicated to nature walks and displays. It is also a stop listed on the Las Vegas Pioneer Trail. I find it a refreshing change of pace from the neon lights of the strip, and it is a wonderful place to stretch your legs and see the greenery that makes this desert oasis possible.
Let me show you Lorenzi Park. This park started as the vision of David G. Lorenzi, a French immigrant who arrived in the Las Vegas Valley in 1911. In 1912, he purchased 80 acres of property that sat about two miles west of the current downtown Fremont Street area. Today, it is known as one of the first parks in the City of Las Vegas and is listed on the Las Vegas Pioneer Trail. You can pick out the quiet atmosphere here, which is a nice change from the neon lights of the strip. I've noticed that the greenery makes it a great spot for a quick break during your walk through the city.
