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.

Gem

This is an old school , well maintained golf course with wonderful people who tend to you. Food was great. Lots of history here. Not fancy, but rather a refreshing breath of how golf should be. The greens were a little slow, but otherwise pristine. The grounds crew does a great job here.

Great golf experience

I came as a single from out of town and was paired with two delightful local guys. We had a great time. The staff are over the top in terms of friendliness. The course was in great shape even though the temps were around 100 degrees. The historical placards were quite informative. This is a must play course for anyone visitng Vegas. Rat Pack cafe is great also. Wonderful staff.

Always a pleasure

We got an early start on a hot and HUMID day!

Other than the humidity we had a great day.

Long par threes keep it interesting. The coyotes were out also! Great greens and good fairways.

Nice Greens and Course Condition

This was the last of 5 rounds at different courses around Las Vegas and from tees to greens the course was in great shape. The overall condition was in the top 2. Hope to play it again when we visit in October.

Good Value

Enjoyed playing this course. Used the golfboard to get around and had a blast. Recommend for people with good sense of balance or have used a snowboard before.

Most of the golf course is in good condition but their are patches that need better maintenance. Greens were slower than I was used to. Makes it much easier to putt on. Takes awhile to get used to it.

Good value based on price and location near the strip. Go early gets very very hot later in the day.

This course reminds one of Eastern golf courses.

The real challenge is stopping the ball near the pin when the pin is guarded by bunkers-and they all are guarded by a bunker moving downhill.

Excellent track

Great layout and condition. Staff was super friendly and attentive.

2 wishes: 1) clean up the creek that runs through it. 2) keep the bar opened later. We were done by 6:30 in the summer and it’s long closed.

Las Vegas National

I have played the National a couple of times now and am always happy with it. Especially for the price I find it to be a good course compared to many that are more expensive. They also always have attentive staff from bag drop, starters, pro-shop and snack bar.

The course is a good layout and has some very scoraeble holes as well as some that are quite challenging. I would recommend to try it out for sure, plus it is only a couple minutes from the strip so it is easy to get there and back quickly.

Nice course, reasonable fees, friendly staff. Good value as they provide extra water and a small bucket of balls for the fee. Greens aren’t in good condition at this time as they’ve been aerated and sanded.

Incomplete

Was enjoying the history and the course for the first 6 holes, which took one hour, then the pace came to a complete stand still. The next 6 holes took 2 hours. I had a appointment to meet some friends, so I had to tell my playing partners that I had to go and hoped they get home before night fall. I started at 12:30pm. Wished that I could of finished. I would play again, just to finish the back nine and to really enjoy the course.

Great course. Well-designed and maintained, fun, and challenging. AWFUL neighbors who enjoy yelling offensive slurs at you while you're playing. I experienced this from not one, not two, but THREE separate houses whose backyards abut the course. I understand this isn't a problem that course management can do anything to change. However, when I mentioned it to the gentleman to whom I returned my cart he said, I kid you not, "Hey, there's all kinds of people in the world." I found this pretty dismissive and insensitive. A simple "I'm sorry that happened," or something of that nature would have gone a LONG way. Two stars instead of one because the course itself is great and Donna at the clubhouse is an absolute gem of a bartender who I'm sad I likely won't have the pleasure of being served by again.

I have nothing bad to say about the course itself. Well-designed, well-maintained, challenging, and fun. Why the low review? Unfortunately this course has some AWFUL neighbors. While playing I was subjected to offensive slurs being yelled at me by groups of people from the back yards of THREE different houses adjacent to the course. Once is probably inevitable, twice is an unfortunate coincidence, but three times is a pattern. I realize there's nothing the course management can do about this kind of problem, though the impossibility of fixing it makes me unlikely to return. However, when I mentioned these incidents to the gentleman to whom I returned my cart at the end of the round his response was, I kid you not, "Hey, there's all kinds of people in the world," which struck me as pretty dismissive and insensitive. A simple "I'm sorry that happened" or something like that would have gone a LONG way, whereas that just made me feel worse. The second star is for Donna at the clubhouse, who was incredibly sweet, accommodating, and fun to talk to; I'm sad I won't have the opportunity to be served by her again.
