 September 29, 2007--The three Las Vegas golf courses at Lake Las Vegas Resort are once again home to the festivities of the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge, a made-for-television event that pits three player teams from the LPGA Tour, PGA Tour and Champions Tour against each other. The professional portion of the tournament will be played on November 13 (televised December 22-23) while amateur events, including the exclusive pro-am, will be played November 9-12. The Jack Nicklaus-desigend Reflection Bay Golf Club will be played by the pros, while the private SouthShore Golf Club, another Nicklaus course, and The Falls, a Tom Weiskopf design, will be played by the amateurs. The LPGA Tour team will be made up of Lake Las Vegas Resort resident Natalie Gulbis, and fellow Tour players Morgan Pressel and Cristie Kerr. For more ...
The PGA Tour team made up of Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson and Scott Verplank, won the event last year.

 Awaiting golfers at elevated holes are breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Las Vegas, the surrounding mountains and the Las Vegas Strip. Throughout this 7,250 yard, par-72 course, water features create challenging hazards and natural beauty. From high to low, from pristine greens to rugged mountains, and from desert terrain to sparkling waterscape, a round at The Falls becomes a study in contrasts. Reflection Bay Golf Club Reflection Bay is the first public resort golf course in Nevada personally designed by Jack Nicklaus, and the host course to the nationally televised Wendy’s Three-Tour Challenge benefiting the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
The 7,261-yard, par-72 award-winning course makes its way through the desert while providing breathtaking views of Lake Las Vegas. Sculpted from the terrain's natural contours with strategic bunkering and pristine greens, the course features three waterfalls and plays around arroyos and water.
Five holes are located along one and a half miles of Lake Las Vegas' majestic shoreline. Reflection Bay highlights include the picturesque 199-yard, par-3 eighth hole and beaches, bunkers and palms that create a dynamic shoreline and backdrop.
