Revere at Anthem
One
of the newest courses in the bustling and fast-growing Henderson community
south of Las Vegas, Revere at Anthem has 36 holes of Greg Nash and Billy Casper designed
golf. The flagship Lexington course has elevated tees on 16 holes, shots
over dramatic desert canyons and panoramic views of Sin City lights. The
Concord opened in 2002 and plays shorter and more forgiving than the Lexington,
with fairway mounds that corral errant shots. Revere's motto is to provide
a "Revolutionary Golf Experience."
Opened in 1999, Revere Golf Club in Anthem is one of the newest, elite
multi-course facilities in the southwest with the Concord and the Lexington.
Located south of Las Vegas in Henderson, these two Billy Casper and Greg
Nash designs (the duo's fifth design in Las Vegas) are the recipient of
a prime location, sitting atop one of the highest points in the Vegas
area. Revere Golf Club also has an authentic country club feel to it,
with its top-notch service and meticulous course conditioning.
The Revere's motif is designed around Paul Revere, the well-known American
revolutionary, and their mantra is appropriately "A Revolutionary
Golf Experience." The philosophy of the design was to create a revolutionary
golf experience for players of all skill levels and to build the course
into the natural canyon landscape, providing golfers with an intimate
golfing experience. The course names, Lexington and Concord, were labeled
to give residents in the Anthem community and visitors to the club an
elusive feeling of freedom.
The Lexington, which was the flagship course, has a bit of everything.
Built in a desert canyon, the lush, 7,143-yard, par 72 course features
countless natural elevation changes and beautiful views of the Las Vegas
skyline. Every hole offers sweeping panoramic views. The course laces
its way through dramatic desert canyons, far above the city lights. Of
the 18 holes, no fewer than 16 have elevated tee boxes, many play over
rugged desert canyons, and several finish at elevated greens. Water isn't
a major factor, with only two holes affected, but you'll be glad you don't
have that albatross to deal with also. To pick one signature hole over
another would be a travesty, as each progressive hole is more picturesque
than the last.
The Concord, which debuted in 2002 is slightly more forgiving than the
Lexington course and shorter, but its length is still a fair 7,034 even
in the desert air. In addition to its profound elevation changes, it contains
multiple tee boxes and plenty of mounds that feed the ball back into the
fairway, or back onto the green. This course is very rewarding for golfers.
The challenge becomes with putting, but its wide fairways with large greens
welcome golfers of all abilities.
Both courses may in fact be just as thrilling as Paul Revere's famous
midnight ride.
