Royal Links “Best Golf Course” In Vegas Las Vegas, NV - 4/11/2006 - The Royal Links Golf Club was selected by the staff of the Las Vegas Review Journal as the “Best Golf Course” in Vegas in their “The Best of Las Vegas 2006” poll. This is the 25th year for the “Best of “ awards, which are comprised of both reader and newspaper staff balloting. “This was an unexpected, but pleasant surprise,” said Matt Tripp, General Manager of Royal Links. “The newspaper people probably know the city best and it is especially rewarding to receive this accolade from them.” The Royal Links is a tribute to the game of golf, offering 18 of the best holes from 11 different British Open rotation courses. Golfers can experience holes reminiscent of the “Road Hole” and “Hell Bunker” from the Old Course at St. Andrews and the “Postage Stamp” from Royal Troon, and the course is located less than 9 miles from the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Monuments were erected at various points throughout the course indicating spots where great moments in British Open history took place. A Champions Wall is located near the practice green honoring American champions of the British Open. The castle-style clubhouse, the only one of its kind in Vegas, adds to the atmosphere and includes a golf shop and Stymie's Pub, an English-style tavern serving Isle fare. Royal Links is a premium daily fee facility. In addition to Royal Links, Walters Golf, the premier golf course company in Las Vegas, owns and operates Bali Hai Golf Club, Cili Restaurant & Bar at Bali Hai, Desert Pines Golf Club, Desert Pines Practice Center and the Walters Golf Academy.
