Las Vegas Golf Courses

In Las Vegas, it’s easy to get blinded by the bright lights, superstar names, and green felt tables and forget about the emerald green fairways and greens of the city’s many golf courses. But don’t fall into that trap (golf pun intended). More than 60 golf courses stretch from the area around the Strip to such other Nevada cities as Mesquite (77 miles north), Boulder City (30 miles south) and Laughlin, (90 miles south).

The biggest and most-respected names in golf have twirled golf design magic in Las Vegas, including such master architects as Tom Fazio, Pete Dye and Rees Jones, and player/designers like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper and Raymond Floyd.

Plus, when you add the golf experience to with everything else that defines Las Vegas, you get what golf insiders like to call the World’s Ultimate Golf City. And thanks to a still-shaky economy, there may not be a better time to stay and play in the entertainment capital of the world. Here is a range of options for different budgets.
