Designed by Ted Robinson (Eagle/Falcon), Stephen Halsery/Jack Daray Jr (Phantom/Thunderbird). Sunrise Vista consists of the Eagle/Falcon and the PhantomlThunderbird courses. They are similar, although the back nine of the Phantom Thunderbird is new and not quite as mature. These are traditional desert-style courses with plenty of mature trees and smallish greens. There are no tricks here - hit it long and straight and you will score well. The course is open to guests of the military. Sunrise Vista is open to the general public on a standby basis. The yardage listed is for the Eagle/Falcon Course. From the Las Vegas Airport (about 18 miles north­east to the course): Take I-15 north to Exit 48, Craig Road. Turn right and go about five miles to the entrance of Nellis Air Force Base.
