Walters Golf, a division of The Walters Group, has become one of
the most widely respected golf companies in the country. From its
first venture into the private country club market in 1995 to today’s
ownership and operation of top-quality, daily fee golf courses,
Walters Golf continues their commitment to quality and profitability
while offering customers five-star golf experiences and excellent
value.
Led by businessman and avid golfer Bill Walters, Walters Golf is
known in the national golf industry for developing first-class golf
facilities. According to Executive Golfer, Walters is “Nevada’s
leading golf entrepreneur” who “recognized the need for visitor
and corporate friendly golf facilities and packages, and seized on
the opportunity, investing millions in four magnificent properties.”
In Las Vegas, the company owns and operates Royal Links Golf
Club, Desert Pines Golf Club and Bali Hai Golf Club in addition to
Las Vegas Golf Getaways, Las Vegas Preferred Tee Times and Cili
Restaurant.
Bali Hai Golf Club offers 7,002 yards of tropical golf paradise and is the only
championship course located directly on the famed Las Vegas Strip. It was designed
by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley and opened in 2000.
At Bali Hai players are transported from the hustle and bustle of the casino floors
to a tropical golf paradise highlighted by seven-acres of water features, a total of
4,000 trees including 2,500 stands of towering palms and 100,000 tropical plants.
Transition and out-of-play areas are accented with Augusta white sand and black
volcanic rock outcroppings. This course was home to The Golf Channel’s “Big Break
II” in 2004 and was ranked as one of the “Top 40 Best Resort Courses in America” by
GolfWeek Magazine. It was also recognized as the “Best Course” and Best High-End
Course” in Las Vegas by VegasGolfer Magazine.
Bali Hai is also home to the award-winning and nationally recognized Cili Restaurant
which is open for lunch everyday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cili serves Contemporary
American Cuisine with Asian influences. It has received several awards as one of Las
Vegas’ most popular “power lunch” establishments.
In the evenings, Cili is only available
for pre-booked group functions
of 15 or more, with a capacity of
up to 1,500. This would include
banquets, meetings, weddings, sales
presentations, golf outing award
dinners and other group events. It
is an ideal event facility where your
guests will be transported to an exotic
south pacific setting, conveniently
located right on the Strip, but without
the distractions of crowded, smoke
filled casinos or long valet lines.
Royal Links Golf Club was built to honor the rich history and tradition of the game
of golf. Designed by Dye International, this links-style course features the best 18
holes, inspired by eleven of the fourteen different British Open rotation courses. Holes
include the “Road Hole” and “Hell Bunker” from the old course at
St. Andrews and the “Postage Stamp” from Royal Troon. Other courses in the loop
include Carnoustie, Turnberry, Royal Liverpool, Prestwick, Royal Lytham, Muirfield
and Royal Birkdale.
Monuments were erected at various
locations throughout the golf course
indicating the spots where great moments
in British Open history took place. A
Champions Wall stands near the allturf practice range honoring American
champions of the British Open.
To further enhance the “Scottish”
authentic golf experience, Royal Links
also offers caddies which are extremely
knowledgeable about the history of each
hole, as well the location of the 108 pot
bunkers, many of which are hidden.
One of Bill Walters proudest accomplishments sits Desert Pines Golf Club and like the
other Walters Golf courses in Las Vegas, this course offers golfers a uniquely themed
experience unlike any other in the City of Entertainment. Here, within 15 minutes of
the heart of The Strip or 10 minutes from downtown, golfers are transported to the
Carolina sandhills. This Dye-designed layout features over 4,000 mature trees lining
lush fairways, with whitesand bunkers protecting large bent grass greens. Desert Pines
served as the official host course for The Golf Channel’s “Big Break II” in 2004 and
was recently ranked in the “Top 50 Golf Courses in Country” by GolfWeek Magazine.
Desert Pines is home to the
only two-tiered, climatecontrolled practice center in
Las Vegas. The target greens
were fashioned after some of
the most famous Par-3 holes
in the country: TPC Sawgrass,
Pinehurst No. 2, Harbor Town
Golf Links, Pebble Beach and
Plum Creek.
