Revere at Anthem strives to be golf's most patriotic experiences.
Opened in 1999, the club was built within the Anthem community located
south of Las Vegas in the thriving suburb of Henderson.
Riding from Charleston, Lexington was the first of Revere's stops,
warning Americans of plans the British army had and thus the original
layout was given the name at Anthem. The course is designed by Billy
Casper and Greg Nash, the duo's fifth collaboration in Las Vegas.
The land is prime, sitting atop one of the highest points in the
valley. The dramatic canyon landscape provides players with an intimate,
inspirational setting.
The Lexington plays longer than its younger sibling, the Concord,
stretching to 7,143 yards and a par 72. Distinct natural elevation
changes take place on nearly every hole and the panoramic views
of the mountains and Vegas skyline are a welcomed distraction.
A total of 16 holes have elevated tee boxes and many carry over
rugged desert canyons. Fairways are wide and forgiving, many lined
with man-made mounding. Greens are large and often multi-tiered
and water comes into play only twice at the Lexington.
Wide design variety means the course is never boring and stimulates
golfers each hole. Each hole has a unique and amazing view, making
it a worthy selection as the club's signature.
The Concord's land is prime, lying south of Vegas atop one of
the highest points in the valley. The canyon landscape gives players
a breathtaking and intimate setting.
The course is slightly more forgiving than its older sibling,
playing at slightly more than 7,000 yards from the back tees. There
are four tees total, playing its shortest at just 5,305 yards.
The course has similar elevation changes to the Lexington and
many tees are elevated, which is just one of the many forgiving
characteristics coming into play on the Concord. The course rating
plays about a stroke easier than the Lexington at 72.8 compared
to 73.6.
The club's motif is designed around Paul Revere's famous "midnight
ride." With this, Revere hopes to inspire each golfer, as well as
educate them on one of America's most heroic revolutionary icons.
Today, the club has two courses both named after his famous ride
from Lexington to Concord.
