Wynn GC, AKA The Desert Inn Golf Course, Soon NLE?
/Nice spot by John Strege to catch the item in Norm Clarke's column indicating that developer Steve Wynn may take his Tom Fazio-designed Wynn Golf Club and turn it into a third hotel, joining the Wynn and Encore.
The course was constructed at great expense and pain on the site of the historic Desert Inn course, at the time only one of two to have hosted the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and Seniors/Champions/Valiant Competitors/PGA Tour Champions Tour. Now only Rancho Park has done so.
Anyway, Clarke's tip came from Sigfried Fischbacher, who revealed that Wynn is moving ahead with his demo plans.
While the golf world will certainly survive the loss of a Fazio design, it's still a historic spot with a superb 19th hole.
