Obama playing golf with Jeter at Shadow Creek in North Las Vegas

NORTH LAS VEGAS — President Barack Obama is playing golf at an exclusive North Las Vegas course with a retired shortstop, a Democratic Party donor and a newspaper owner.

The White House said the foursome at Shadow Creek Golf Course on Saturday includes retired New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, Obama campaign supporter Stephen Cloobeck, and Brian Greenspun, the owner, publisher and editor of the Las Vegas Sun.

Casino mogul Steve Wynn built Shadow Creek in 1989 out of empty desert flatland. It is now owned by MGM Resorts International.

Obama flew to Las Vegas on Friday to discuss actions he's taken to lift the threat of deportation from nearly 5 million people living illegally in the U.S.

On Sunday, he returns to the White House.
