Golf section will review Las Vegas courses

Golf: Spokane-area basketball fans have learned to double their pleasure with postseason college basketball action in Las Vegas.

With the WCC, WAC and the Pac-12 (next year) basketball tournaments all around the same time in March, area fans have a chance to get in a little golf between all the basketball action.

Staff writer Jim Meehan and staff photographer Christopher Anderson visited three Las Vegas courses last month when they were in town to cover the Gonzaga men and women in the WCC tournaments.

Their review of the courses is part of our special section on golf inserted into today’s paper.
