Sorry but I really liked that hole. The rest of the Las Vegas courses are so boring, I looked forward to 6 the whole time.
i know i would go for it by getting greedy and end up with a 5 at least

I thought they use to add it on the USDGC site but cannot find it either.

Because they did a similar thing for USDGC last year, just on a bigger scale than the Vegas triple-island hole. For the USDGC iteration, the commentators called the islands the Kidney Bean, the Lima Bean, and... I forget the other one (but presumably some type of bean).
I believe they were named the kidney bean, lima bean, and peanut by Nate Sexton.
They may not be as ridiculous as the islands hole on the Las Vegas Challenge, but it is my opinion that the USDGC hole 9 does not make for good video.

The triple mandatory forced tunnel shot does not make for good video either as it is hard to film the tunnel type flight of the disc well. The Companies that filmed it in the past have done as best they can. Including Spin TV for the World Tour.
That sounds right, swhite.
The LVC hole was more aesthetically appealing than the USDGC variant, and also more compelling from a risk/reward standpoint because the final island was actually reachable from the tee. (Although really challenging to park.) Also, the triple island didn't add anything that Winthrop was missing. Just more flat, open placement golf with lots of rope.
