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.

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.

classic old course

old style grass course, par 4, 5,, and 3s are all very long, tee boxes good, fairways good, green good, bunkers bad, sand needs to dug up and re raked, its very packed down, course has lots of history and is worth playing, if you don't drive well you will have long 2nd shots all day,

Great history and course!

Lots of history about this course.

We met another golfer and had a great time.

It was the "new" guys first time in Las Vegas!

We got to share some cool stuff about the course and had a great round. A few slower groups in front of us made the round a little longer.

Good weather and not much wind.

Tee time assigned was not available

I was not able to play because the time I received from you was not available. I booked through Golf Now a 9:00 tee time. There was a group of 8 that had the 9:00 and 9:10 tee times. They had nothing available until after 10:00 which would not work for me.

Good value for what we got!

Greens a little bumpy but didn't affect results much - Fairways Ok - had to roll the ball several times to get a reasonable lie - bunkers were like concrete - like playing off the cart path! Worst part - we were behind a 5 some for the first nine - waited on every shot.

All in all - a good value for the $50 Green Fee.

A must play

If you are coming to Vegas to play golf then you must play Las Vegas National. The history alone is worth the visit. The staff is very friendly. The course layout is PGA style. The past celebrity homes are vintage. If you want to play a course once shared by Nicklaus, Palmer, Crenshaw, Nelson and where Tiger won his first PGA come and play.

A couple of notes

This course was generally a good deal. The history was interesting, and the course is not too hard. The condition was fair- the fairways were good, as was the rough. The greens were certainly playable, but not really lush. The sand in the traps is different than anywhere I've played. The sand is really coarse. The traps were not well maintained and therefore your club would bounce as though it was concrete.

The rental clubs were good, and the staff was quite accommodating. One note, since this is in Vegas, be careful that GolfNow isn't quoting you the residents' rate. I had to pay more because I was a tourist and Golfnow's quoted rate was for residents, but not distinguished as such.

A classic course

Being from California, it was my first time playing Las Vegas National. I was lucky to be paired with a local, Mike, who is a regular here. He was a great guy and made my round much more enjoyable. The course was in good condition. The fairways were a little dry, but very playable. The greens were very good, with true rolls. I was very impressed with all of the personnel, who treated me, a first timer, as if I was a regular. The course was not crowded, so we got around in a little over 4 hours.

This course is full of Las Vegas history. Some of the tee boxes even have signs that point out some of the homes along the course and the "famous" people who lived there. A visit to the "museum" in the bar is a must. The $1.00 first beer is not bad either.

Great time

Layout is great. Condition of course is pretty good. Bunkers are poor. Sand is really coarse and thin in places. Played as twosome and caught a couple of groups but played through within a hole or two. Less than 3 hours. Staff was great. Definitely play again

Just ok

Layout is decent. Played the back tees and still didn’t find it too tough. Main thing is the poana sprouts on the greens make them very bumpy. They just don’t look and play very healthy. I’d rather play Chimera greens.. Overall decent if you can get a rate in the $25-35 range.
