            Come experience a beautifully balanced course that maximizes the natural beauty of the southern Nevada mountains with spectacular views of the Las Vegas skyline. Located in Henderson, Nevada, the Tuscany Golf Club is a Ted Robinson designed course stretching to 6906 yards recognized annually for course condition, overall playability and value.
Tuscany Golf Club has been designed in the true tradition of the renowned architect, offering a distinctive theme with a philosophy centering on flexibility, memorability and natural beauty.
              The Robinson design philosophy:
"The greatest challenge in design is to balance the strategic elements of the game in such a way as to maximize the rewards of playing for the greatest number of people. Courses that are fun, exciting, and consistently changing day by day offer the greatest allure of all."--Robinsongolf.com
           Since it’s opening in 2003, Tuscany Golf Club has quickly become a Las Vegas favorite. Located a quick 20 minutes from the STRIP, this distinctive daily access golf venue offers enthusiasts a refreshing blend of the finest greens and subtle yet challenging holes – all bottled into an enjoyable par 72.

Scorecard
I played the whites at Tuscany with a couple of locals. It was a beautiful sunny day and my tee off was at 11:30. Tuscany is located in Henderson NV about 20 minutes from the strip. I played a decent game and 
shot 46 on the front and 45 on the back for a 91. I have combined the hole layout from Golf Logix, some photo gallery shots from the Tuscany site as well as some of my own shots.

Hole # 12 Thought I would get a shot of the Tee marker

Hole # 13 
 Hole # 16



Hole # 17
 Hole # 18


 Hole # 18 is the #2 handicap hole. You cannot see the water from the tee. The drive needs to be over the hill in the middle of the fairway.

Played Tuscany again on March 8th when we were back in Vegas for a couple days. Played with hank who set up the game. We played with Mike a =2 handicap and Tony an attorney with a +6 handicap. Mike drove the ball an average of 350 yards, it was a beauty to watch.
I shot an 88 this time around, with a 41 on the back and a 47 on the front. I have been struggling to put two good nines together. However a very respectable day on the course. My putting and short game really kept me in the game.
