Stallion Mountain Golf Club was acquired by a Colorado-based ownership group and is set to reopen for invitational play this summer. Located just six miles from the Las Vegas Strip at 5500 E. Flamingo Road, Stallion Mountain Golf Club boasts 18 holes designed by former PGA Tour professional Jim Colbert and golf course architect Jeff Brauer. Scottsdale-based OB Sports Golf Management was selected to prepare the course for reopening and will manage all aspects of the facility including golf operations, agronomy, food and beverage, instruction, membership sales and marketing.

Stallion Mountain Country Club will reopen as a semiprivate facility with flexible membership offerings available for both residents and nonresidents alike. In addition, the club will be available for resort guest play, groups and tournaments and available for weddings, banquets and events.

The 38,000-square-foot clubhouse at Stallion Mountain overlooks the golf courses and surrounding mountain ranges, providing a stunning backdrop for weddings, banquets and special occasions.

OB Sports also operates three other popular Las Vegas-area courses, including The Legacy Golf Club in Henderson, Angel Park Golf Club in Las Vegas and Aliante Golf Club in North Las Vegas.

Upon reopening, Stallion Mountain will unveil an innovative membership, where members will have preferential tee times access, invitations to exclusive member events, guest benefits, locker room privileges, a full calendar of golf and social events, along with travel benefits to play the other OB Sports courses at preferred rates and much more. Golfers who have an interest in this initial membership offering are encouraged to visit www.stallionmtn.com for more information.
