Vegas National Golf Course

Vegas National Golf Course is a beautiful alternative to the high green fees of competitors. Low priced and charming, with its clear views of the mountains, you won't believe you are 2 miles from the Strip and Convention Center. National is one of the oldest courses in Vegas.

In fact, National used to be private. It was the personal digs for the likes of "Frank Sinatra", Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr, closed to the public. These megastars could be seen nearly everyday golfing in the 60's. Consequently this course has had a lot of history - recently Casino with Robert DeNiro and Sharon Stone was filmed there.

Vegas National Golf Course is a public resort - 18 holes, par 71, yardage of 6,872 feet blue tees, designed by Bert Stamps in 1961. It's located on the East side of Strip, on Desert Inn Road before Eastern. Many holes are hard times with water, lakes and slopes surrounding the back greens, winds add to difficulty. Lots of trees, olive, palm and pine line the fairways. Golf carts allowed on fairways except in October during seeding. Green fees range from $79 to $160. However, substantial discounts from the going green fees are available at the clubhouse, just ask. Carts included with fee, rental clubs available, facilities for eating and events, easy parking off Desert Inn in front of club.

This oasis in the desert has also hosted many tournaments, including PGA and LPGA, Tournament of Champions and the Las Vegas Invitational. In fact we held a Team Scramble Tournament there last year, with 50/50 holes, gambling boards, VIP holes, raffles, posters, party after at clubhouse, it went like clockwork.
