Have some friends going to LV for first time in October. They're wondering if they can play any decent courses for under $100. They will be renting a car, so they could travel 20-30 minutes if need be. Thanks.
Decent golf courses in Vegas under $100...

One of the best-kept secrets in Vegas golf is the muni course there, The Las Vegas Golf Club. I think it's one of the oldest courses in LV and had a major renovation fairly recently. It just reek of a Vegas course and you can just see Sinatra and Dean Martin hacking around it. Played it a couple years ago, and it's pretty forgiving but fun.
A similar style course, very near the strip is Las Vegas National, which used to be the Sahara course. This one is under $100 if you tee off after noon.
I like these courses in the middle of the city rather than those on the outskirts because you seem to be hitting right at the skyscrapers. They're not as good a test of golf as some of the newer courses in the outskirts, but they're well manicured and fun. Unless your friends are in it for the golf itself, I'd go for the Vegas experience.
Of the ones on the outskirts that are good and reasonably priced, Black Mountain and Primm Valley are my favorites.

Two excellent courses, both cost about $75 per round (with cart):
BEAR'S BEST (a new course in WLV at the end of Flamingo) -- Lots of hills, sand, wide fairways. Beautiful, new course. I played it once and loved it.
TPC AT CANYONS (near SunCoast in Summerlin) -- My favorite public course in LV, because it's a great course for good iron hitters (I'm terrible with the driver). Requires accuracy. Lots of cliffs, challenging. Terrific greens. Lots of jackrabbits hopping around.
Stay away from SILVERSTONE (NW LV)-- Way too crowded. Tough to play, and lots of construction with dust. Worst course I've played in LV.
