About Siena Golf Club: Located in the shadows of the Spring Mountains, Siena Golf Club is a peaceful escape offering cascading waterfalls, rye fairways, bentgrass greens and breathtaking views of the natural mountains, Red Rock National Conservation Area and Las Vegas Boulevard.

Designed by Arizona's Schmidt-Curley Designs, the Tuscan-themed course provides a mishmash of doglegs, straightaways, three-tiered greens, bunkers, six water features and more.  The bunkers are strategically located along the sides of greens and fairways, making it a rather challenging course.
