Like many of modern day resort-style courses that use multiple tees, par-5, hole 11, Longfellow is another signature hole with double fairways. Broken by a natural island of desert landscape, players are forced to choose between two routes on their second shot. Although right fairway is recommended safer route to green, left fairway tempts amateurs and low handicappers alike with its obvious shorter distance and unobstructed approach to green. Satisfaction of this potential risk/reward gamble personifies Vegas and American spirits!

The initial design of course was an outstanding cooperative effort between Billy Casper, Greg Nash and Del Webb to route fairways in meandering trek while keeping homes well above ridge lines of course. This has successfully minimized impact of 4,755-acre master-planned community to golf experience while accentuating challenges of natural flow of land. Seclusion, serenity, uncrowded and well-planned sums up feeling a golfer gets when stepping their feet upon this sacred golf mecca.

The No. 6, North Church, 384-yard, par-4 is farthest point north on golf course. And, if you can stay out of bunkers on right, you won't have any trouble until you start your approach to green. That may be easier said than done! The bunkers are reachable in length with a driver and with right-to-left sloping fairway, temptation to aim a little farther right makes shot even more dangerous. But, then old "one-if-by-land, two-if-by-sea" bit takes on a whole new meaning. The "land" in this equation is a scary pot bunker hiding in back-right side of green. It could easily cost you a stroke. The "sea," on other hand, is lake that curls around green's front-right. Having "feel"with your wedge and proper distance control is essential to success here.

To make every occasion special, contact Kame Masterson - The Revere Tournament Director 702/617-5757, 877/746-5337 or email Kame at mastersk@delwebb.com. Kame is skilled at arranging a wide variety of exceptional amenities and services for tournaments, meetings, social and corporate functions.

Revere's 23,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with its breathtaking views and very hospitable staff will make your special occasion a revolutionary one!

No. 12, named "One-If-By-Land," is a 422-yard, par-4 layout that creates an unique challenge. Bunkers boarder entire right side of fairway while golfer is staring down into Las Vegas Valley can distract, awe, and cause error if one is not careful. The topography makes green appear to be higher in back than it is in front. The golfer really needs to trust his distance, control, and accuracy here, too. In truth, green slopes away from you, making all skill elements very important.

Majestic mountains appeared on horizon - snow-capped Rockies, symbols of Canada that they are, dominate countryside creating a perfect picture postcard.

On your way, make sure you stop in Banff for a bite to eat; it's truly a town worth seeing. Sure, it's full of tourists and tourist shops that sell overpriced, tacky items, but it's a quaint village in its own right, so take my advice, make a stop.

After lunch, we continued drive to British Columbia. Remember, we are driving from one province to another. (For those of you unfamiliar with traveling in Canada, there are NO border stops between provinces.) The trip from Banff, Alberta to Radium, British Columbia, is approximately one hour. That is if you don't stop. But you will stop, and have your camera ready because views are breathtaking. Valley upon valley unfolds before your eyes. As mountains reach for sky, I spotted where tree line ended and was replaced by stark protruding rock faces. I can't help but ask my girlfriend to stop car, so I can take pictures. I feel compelled to photograph everything, as I didn't want this memory to fade.

When we arrived in Radium, I noticed hot springs were open. Note to self about Radium. Natural hot springs are favorite tourist spot, so if you're into this type of scene enjoy, if not, wave to "springers" and keep driving. Another note to self. Beware of mountain sheep on side of road and don't stop to close to take photographs, as they get frightened and begin to "joust" right in front of your car.

Twenty-five minutes later, car stops. I am at Panorama Resort! www.panoramaresort.com Greeted by friendly staff, I was handed a map and promised weather would cooperate. I was somewhat dubious about weather comment and I became fixated on weather channel.

We arrive at our condominium and as we pull up, I squeal, "this is too good to be true!" Picture this: four chateau-style condominiums, perched high on a hill. Behind them loom snow-capped mountains as far as eye can see. Traces of snow remain on a few of ski runs, making me consider that I might have to return for a ski trip. The car stops and I get out. Silence. I inhale deeply and my lungs welcome fresh air. I feel like I've been beamed from a busy, stark city into an enchanting countryside that offers nothing but splendor and peace of mind. Blue sky, tall pines and silence are elements make-up landscape.

It's one of those moments one experiences when s/he realizes there is much more too life than daily rituals - it is a moment where values are questioned. I hadn't even golfed yet and I was ready to move here!

Our suite is on fourth floor. It is a corner suite that overlooks pool area as well as provides us with a panoramic view of mountains (I'm guessing that's how resort acquired its name.) It's been a long day, it is time to get some supplies, soak in hot tub, and eat.
