Las Vegas National Golf Course
About
A traditional golf course in the land of faux waterfalls, shooting fountains and mountains, Las Vegas National Golf Club is actually part site of Tiger Woods' first win on the PGA Tour.
Las Vegas National was part of the rotation of the Las Vegas Invitational when Woods broke onto the Tour in 1996. Tiger actually won the Las Vegas Invitational (then a 90-hole, multi-course event) with a final round 64 on the private TPC at Summerlin track, erasing David Love III's four-stroke lead.
Average hackers will find a course with plenty of trees in the desert and five inventive par 3s that give National much of its character. This isn't desert golf. It's old school golf with palm trees and sand.
It is also very close to the Strip, just a few turns and about a 10-minute drive away. The area's built up around it with fast-food shops, but the Rat Pack era style remains alive within Las Vegas National's grounds.
"As you pull into the lot at Las Vegas National, the sense of the sixties is evident in the rectangular pastel colored stucco clubhouse that might have seemed modernistic back then, but now is a charming reminder of an architecturally dated style," TravelGolf.com writer Doug Saunders said.

Stay away!
Greens are in terrible condition! I asked for a discount and was told no. They said I was already playing at a discounted twilight rate of $64. In the condition the course is in I wouldn’t pay more than $50.
Come on Las Vegas National! Do better!!!
Waste of time and money
Here’s a clean, honest review you can post. I kept it sharp but fair—frustrated without sounding unhinged:
⸻
⭐☆☆☆☆
I’m visiting Las Vegas from out of town and this was easily the worst-conditioned golf course I’ve played in years. For the premium price charged to non-residents, the condition of the course was completely unacceptable, patchy fairways, poor greens, and overall very little care evident.
The pace of play was just as bad. Rounds moved at a crawl, to the point where we couldn’t even finish. No effort seemed to be made to manage tee times or keep things moving.
Between the condition, the pace, and the inflated non-resident pricing, this was a total waste of both time and money. There are far better options in and around Las Vegas, unfortunately, this isn’t one of them.
Won’t be back
Hadn’t played this course in a couple years and probably won’t ever play it again.
We teed off 20 mins late due to the log jam on the opening hole. No starter in sight with every group asking each other who was up next. First 3 holes took us an hour to play. We were literally clubbing down off the tee just to keep our round moving and were still getting hit into from the group behind us. No marshal anywhere to help with the pace. Next 3 holes took us another hour. Somehow we managed to finish the front in under 3 hours, but not by much.
Greens were atrocious. We were putting on broccoli florets and across wastelands each hole. Bunkers were rarely raked. Tee boxes weren’t even level half the time.
We quit at 9 for all of the reasons listed above and were ignored by the staff in the cart barn as we grabbed our clubs and left.
Disappointing experience overall, but at least there are plenty of other options around town.
Total joke for what you pay.
Not sure what’s worse? A 6 hour pace of play or homeless trash all over the course. Or maybe the worst part is the price for both of the previous mentioned situations. The course is in need of a complete overhaul. Greens have patches of mud. Fairways are OK. Bunkers are full of rocks. Also had to start the round 40 minutes late due to pace of play. Would no recommend….
Feels like a rip off.
I’d hate to be the Karen but man I got ripped off. I paid $190 for greens that looked like craters of the moon. Mud was definitely showing through. Trash was everywhere. I’ve played courses like this and the fee was $25. To get tricked into paying $190 I’m sorry this is fraud.
Course conditions and pace of play.
At four stars this course is extremely overrated. For the most part, there was very little grass in the fairways and no sand in the sand traps. The greens were chewed up and the cups were starting to grow over. The pace of play was ridiculously slow. This is, at best, a $50 course. We paid $139. Not satisfied at all.
Nice course.
Fast pace of play. Nice course.
Super fun and kudos to their HOA
On a good day, I’m a boogie golfer. This course was friendly to me and my skills. The weather was hot, but the course was well maintained. Staff from the period driving range was included with the cart fee and round fee. The most interesting thing of all is the HOA has organized that at each Hole neighbors give out free food and drink, including adult beverages. This was super surprising and super fun. One very lovely neighbor invited us to their home for the after party. I highly recommend this course. Will certainly be back. It’s only 3 1/2 miles from the trip which allows for nice views and Las Vegas golf had a rate that’s much more user-friendly than perhaps at the casinos. Will certainly be back and we appreciated the feminist of the neighbors and the staff and everyone encountered at Las Vegas national golf club.
Great value for money
Played this course and really liked it, the greens were in good condition, the staff especially at the Pro Shop was incredibly helpful and kind.
It was an improvised round for me, rented clubs which were in good condition and staff was very friendly.
Great track!
Love Las Vegas National. Close to strip. Good value. Love the layout.
Great golf
Really enjoyable even though a little hot.
A lot of sand makes it a challenge
Beautiful Traditional Golf Course
Beautifully maintained golf course with lots of shade trees. Friendly staff. Range balls, and bottled water included in price.
Proud of it
Nice track,looks like a trailer park in spots. They are proud of it for the price. Can't even get a local price on this site.
Poor golf course
I am from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 and poorest golf course for $170.00 US and I appreciate a full refund
Love the course design
Clear some of these ratty old houses off this great course and bring it back to glory what an awesome track! Rewarding for all levels of skill with generous forward tees.
