Among the specials are $49 rates for 18 holes at both Tuscany and Rhodes Ranch, Vowles said.

Tuscany's 6,906-yard, par 72 course was designed by renowned golf course architect Ted Robinson Jr. and recently was named Golf magazine's No. 1 golf course in Las Vegas in its annual BBQ (Bang for the Buck Quotient) rankings.

The Rhodes Ranch Golf Club has become one of the top golfing destinations in Las Vegas. Also designed by Robinson, the par-72 course was named a Best Value by Vegas Golfer magazine.

"We have teaching professionals on staff at both courses and golf lessons are always a special holiday gift for those who want to improve their game in the next year," Vowles said. "The weather in Las Vegas is perfect for winter golfing and we aim to make it reasonable for residents to enjoy our courses."

Tuscany Residential Village is a master-planned community developed by Rhodes Homes. The community's 35,000-square-foot recreation center, La Vita Tuscana, includes a lap pool, lagoon pool, hot tubs, workout facility, aerobics room, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, racquetball and tennis courts, arts and crafts rooms, billiards, conference rooms, social areas, park areas and jungle gyms for children.

Residents of Rhodes Ranch have access to the 35,000-square-foot R Club recreation center, which offers dozens of indoor and outdoor activities for the whole family.
