Las Vegas Golf with honest reliable Vegas golf tips - by Jason

Las Vegas Golf

Las Vegas Golf has become one of the major reasons people visit Las Vegas, Nevada each year. Over a million visitors play yearly at one of the Las Vegas golf courses listed here. This means it is very crowded most of the time on many of the courses. Friends come in all the time, they don't take my advice, and think they will just show up and get some tee time. I hear the sob stories and complaints all the time. They actually did not get to play at all.

Realize that 18 of the 75 largest Las Vegas golf courses are private. So availability can be problem. Reservations are of utmost importance if you are serious about golf being a major part of your vacation. Plan now; and enjoy these fine Las Vegas golf courses without a problem.

Each part of Las Vegas valley has at least one major golf course. The most well known courses are the most crowded but can still be worth it for those who want a spectacular experience in the desert. Parking is often an issue in the fanciest places. Keep that in mind when packing your 60 lbs of wood and iron. I suggest using valet whenever possible especially when short on time.

Golf Tournaments are the absolute crème de la crème of Las Vegas sporting events for those in game. Whenever possible try to get in one. Wrap your entire vacation around a fine golf tournament, then wine, dine and gamble all night long. You'll never forget it.

Be careful though as the desert heat and dryness will crack your face, burn your lips, sunburn your skull, and make your otherwise pleasant, impress the ladies evening, somewhat less than sexy. Everybody underestimates the climate. My nose bled inside for the first ten days I was here.

Don't underestimate the costs associated at some of the pricier golf clubs. The Wynn Golf Club for instance often charges $500 per green fee. During the busy season or on weekends the other golf clubs will often charge the same. The Paiute Golf Resort, the Bali Hai Golf Club, and the Callaway Golf Center are worth looking into. We can get you in cheaper though; check out some of the resources on this page if money is an issue.

There are special places that few know of or ever get the chance to play on. For instance, Shadow Creek in North Las Vegas, owned by Wynn, is available for select Wynn Casino gamblers and insider celebrities. But then again there are some serious bargains here as well if you know where to look. See all our resource links on the right side of this page for specific issues pertaining to Las Vegas Golf.
