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.

Disappointed considering the Reviews I had read!

Was excited to book the course with it's esteemed history.

I wouldn't recommend it when comparing to so many other great courses in the area.

Some interesting homes on the course but also many derelict homes that leave you feeling uncomfortable.

Course needs water, dry and hard conditions so ridiculous bounces.

Play for the history okay but don't play if you're playing for the golf.

Had a nice day of golf on a course with a bit of history. Golf now hot deal for 51.00, not bad. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Greens rolled nice and had no bad lies while in the fairways. Surrounding neighborhoods a bit run down as you read on other reviews but I was there for the golf which was fine. Close to the strip

Goat Path

Wow, what a disappointment! The reviews I read were good. Not sure what they we’re thinking. Course was 135 bucks for nonresidents and I would not pay 30 to play it again. Course conditions were poor and surrounding area was very very sketchy! I would NEVER recommend this course!!!

Close to the Strip...

Nice track.

15 minutes from Tropicana

Tons of History - Come early and tour their Museum/HoF

Movie "Casino" shot at some of the houses on the course.

Grass range, putting green and chipping area

Great Staff

Pace was horrible, but locals (in our 4-some) said it was an anomaly.

Short par 4's were tricky

Lots of hidden water - consult the tee box marker

Greens were "hairy" but true - had hard time finding my ball marks...

Give it a try.

Vegas National.

Played on a pretty nice day. The staff here is great and accommodating. But that can’t make up for the course conditions. The greens were very hard and didn’t take a shot very well. And the greens have different kinds of grasses in them. I wouldn’t recommend this course unless they upgraded the overall playability.

This is just a good place to play for the regular and little bit better golfer. Everything was in good condition and a little challenging which makes it fun if you keep it in play. Will be back.

excellent as always

This course always maintains excellent playing conditions, and it's no wonder why it used to be a PGA tour stop. The course isn't crazy hard or terribly long, but good putting is essential for a decent score.

Vegas Nat’l

Course has a lot of history and nostalgia! Course is older and mature. A good course to play away from the Las Vegas strip. The greens are fast and true despite the practice green nearest the 1st tee. The course is fun and a must play.

I can only describe this course as a cow pasture. I played a municipal two days earlier that was ten times better that this field of weeds. What a total waste of money and they have no right to charge what they do. I suspect the locals know this course is awful which is why everyone I spoke to was from out of town.

Round 2

Excellent course - fairways looked good very few divots, greens were excellent though people need to fix their ball marks. At a previous club the local High School fixed the ball marks and divots as payment for the HS Golf Team to play the course. Looks like management is slooooowly working on the crap that the homeless have left in the creek - keep it up maybe by the end of spring it will get cleaned up!

GREAT DAY AT NATIONAL

Great round at National! The price was right with one of Golf Now’s Hot Deals and the weather was perfect. 75 to 80 and no clouds. Nice little breezes too. Started right on time and paired with a nice couple from Buffalo New York and a local single. Had to share cart with single but turned out to be a nice guy and good golfer so made round more fun then riding solo.

Course was in great shape and the pace was good with waiting only on a hand full of holes. Greens were a little tricky then I recall from previous rounds at this gorgeous and historic track. Even though its lined with houses that are interesting mid century and others that could use a little work the fairways are generous and remind me of old school track I use to play in Los Angeles. The terrain is different than most Las Vegas desert tracks with no “natural desert environment areas” and has plenty of trees and flush fairways. Watch the short putts they can be deceiving and roll different then an initial read.

This track is worth a visit anytime one wants good value golf and challenging golf near downtown and the Strip. Will visit again and enjoy again I am sure.

Very nice

Second time playing here. The grass is so green and beautiful its hard to believe its real. The course layout is actually not that hard and the fairways are pretty open with not a lot of water.

I defiantly recommend this course.

The main negatives are that the houses around it are pretty dilapidated and the creeks are full of trash. You have to ignore that and look at the fairways, greens and course itself. Its that's only on a couple of holes that it is real bad looking off course so to speak.
