 September 15, 2007--Known for its three championship Las Vegas golf courses and 360-degree uninterrupted views, the resort attracted amateur players from all over the United States, of which 25 percent of the field was awarded monetary prizes, and all of which were reminded why they love this game. The Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, an international golf destination composed of three Pete Dye original Las Vegas golf courses, celebrated the First Las Vegas Paiute Amateur Golf Classic September 2 and 3, 2007. Composed of three flights, the tournament kicked off on the award-winning Sun Mountain course, recognized with 4½ Stars by Golf Digest as well as its siblings Snow Mountain and The Wolf, and drawing more than 50 amateur players from across the United States. Also, according to statistics, the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort attracted more than 95,000 golfers in 2006.
Ninety-five thousand players can’t be wrong. Given The Paiute entices the avid golfer, or the “Core” golfer as termed by the National Golf Foundation (NGF) Golf Industry Report, this particular tournament style brought the appeal and the welcomed challenge enjoyed by the experienced, amateur golfer. According to this same report, “over eight million [Core golfers] played while on a vacation trip where they averaged 6.6 rounds during the year. Counting the overlap between business and vacation, nine million Core golfers played while traveling [in 2006].” Click now to book your Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort tee times and Las Vegas golf packages  Head Golf Professional, Greg Wickensimer, sites why this particular type of tournament caters to the avid golfer: “This First Amateur Golf Classic is unique in design because it is a two-day, 36-hole event based solely on individual stroke play. It’s not your typical four plus hour shotgun scramble. This tournament tests the individual golfer; it’s just you against the course. Based on this year’s high response, we expect the tournament to potentially double in size in 2008.”
