Wynn Golf Course At The Wynn

Wynn Golf Course at the Wynn is one of two golf courses on the Strip. The other is Bali Hai Golf Club, at the other end of the Strip. I would golf everyday at the Wynn if I could afford it, as would a lot of other golfers. With its lakes, wide rolling rivers, 50 foot high waterfalls, forest of trees and wide stretches of wide fairways, the Wynn Golf Course is the easiest on the eyes. But not on the pocketbook.

First, you must be staying at the Wynn, or be the guest of a hotel guest. Next you must fork out hundreds and hundreds of dollars. But is it worth it? Some will tell you the course is for high rollers only. Note that scorecards have no diagrams; tall trees and barriers keep intruders from catching a glimpse of even a back hole. It's a hush-hush affair from start to finish.

Looking at hole 18 on the Wynn Golf Course at the Wynn with its giant waterfall, rivers and lake. Photo was taken from the Wynn Towers. I would play here everyday if I could.

Wynn Golf Course at the Wynn is Steve Wynn's second golf course. The first was Shadow Creek Golf Course, that elite, secretive oasis in the desert which is now a MGM Mirage property. Both have waterfalls, rivers, rocks and trees, lots of trees. Both were built by Tom Fazio, ASGCA. Fazio completed the Wynn Golf Course in 2005.

This first class 18-hole golf course covers 138 acres, is over 7,000 yards from tip to tip, has 11 holes with water, par-70, slope rating of 124. PennLinks Bentgrass greens were made to USGA specifications while Tifway II Hybrid Bermuda covers the fairways and tees. 6,000 trees were brought in from North Carolina. The idea behind the course is that you won't believe you are in the middle of a desert on the Strip playing golf.

At Wynn Golf Course at the Wynn, it's said that hole 11 is Steve Wynn's favorite, while other golfers are passionate about hole 15 with its little wishbone stream protecting the green. I like hole 18 with the waterfall. I just hit the ball straight into the fall to see if I can knock it over. It's so real it's unreal. If I could I would play everyday at Wynn.
