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.

I will be back
Great fun course. Greens and fareways in great shape. Lots of history. Pace of play good. Very friendly accommodating staff. Excellent golf course. I will be back
Labor Day at National
Used to play this club years ago when it was on a sports card. This was the first time in about 10 years. Still an incredible course. Historical! The GM has put up signs on many of the tee boxes, explaining celebrities former homes along the course. That is an excellent touch. Vivien, our on-course beverage lady, was exceptional, as was Donna in the bar after the round. The course was in magnificent shape.
Lots of history this course
Hot deals are great for price. Greens slow but smooth. Rough is fair. Pace is good! Will play here again!
The Better Las Vegas Golf Club
I was expecting a well groomed golf course worthy of a Golf Club and it is Las Vegas after all. To my disappointment it was not what I thought, Many parts of fairway are bald and the greens are slow and although your putts may roll the breaks are unpredictable. Some bunkers are more like dry cement but inconsistent. But for $25 Hot Deal I can't really complain but it is not something to brag about either. It is enough to say "I played the Las Vegas National Golf Club" and give them a shrug of the shoulder when anyone asks "how was it?' That way you preserve the Las Vegas mystique.
Fivesomes?
I thought the groups of fives they let out was going to make things slow, but it was a foursome that the Marshall would not do anything about, at the end a full 2 holes behind five some.
Las Vegas National
Customer service Awesome, beautiful course with lots of history. Pace of play was awesome. Tee time spacing did not make me feel they are just jamming people on the course, thus allowing a true 4 hour pace of play.
GREAT COURSE
WAS PAIRED WITH A COUPLE OF OLDER MEN AND PACE WAS GOOD, GOOD GREENS AND COURSE OVER ALL.
Little disappointed
The course is fairly long from white tees. Course was decent shape for August. Greens slow from aeration and sand laid, But that happens. What was disappointing is the course layout is fairly straight and simple. Water really doesn't come into play much. For a course that PGA has used I thought it would have more interesting holes. The signs about houses around the course were unclear which they talked about. The houses were either nice or junk. It is an OK curse but probably won't be back till I see others in town. It was 105 and this course has no water on the course. They give you 2 water bottle per cart. Well that isn't enough. I never saw a bathroom stop on first 9. One on back nine is all. Also I prefer a course with GPS on the carts. 150 is only marker in fairways. Some painted lines on cart paths. For $34 it was OK but will not pay full price for it.
Great old course
Right in the heart of town sits a jewel of a course ! The staff is always polite and friendly, ready to answer questions or give course info. The course itself is always well maintained.Once a Championship layout and now a gem for locals and visitors alike to enjoy. I"d recommend this course to all players of any skill level.
Nostalgia
Playing golf where greats like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and the Rat Pack played was certainly the highlight of this round. The course posted its history at every tee box reminding us of the greatness that was once Las Vegas National.
The lay out was tricky with a since of ease from the tees coupled with target greens surrounded by sand bunkers. Placement is key to shooting low at Las Vegas National.
If you find yourself in Las Vegas with some time to shoot a round of quality golf at a decent rate, check out Las Vegas National. If your a golfer with a bucket list of courses then, this course should definitely be on it. It's history and pro shop museum make for a fun and educational round of golf.
Blast from the Past
Played here on a Golfnow special, $8.00! They were airating the greens. I was not concerned about the green conditions. Played in July so it was hot but wanted to play the course while in town because it was close to the strip and the nostalgic value. The old Stardust Country Club were entertainers played and lived nearby. Tiger Woods won the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational at the National. I enjoyed the course and the layout.
Fun
Enjoyed the history of the course! I like they have signs on every hole. When I was there the back 9 was closed.
Las Vegas National
I endjoyed the course and the staff was excellent. Course overall in good condition. I would had been more happier if I would have been informed before arriving that the front nine was close and you had to repeat play the back.
Classic Las Vegas Course
This is a great course with lots of history. I enjoyed my round and had a great time. The course seems to be well maintained and the staff is nice. I would play there again.
Pleasantly surprised
Had little expectations for vegas golf in hot June. But the course was in great condition, played quickly, and truly enjoyed the round.
Course in great shape
The course was in great shape. We got lucky with a cool day in July (unheard of!), just off some heavy rain. The course was in great condition overall, with no real bad spots. There are places where the streams are filled with garbage, which is off-putting, but that was only a couple of holes. We later found out they'd punched the greens two weeks ago, but we hadn't noticed and even commented on their great condition.
When we left, we had excellent service by one of the cart guys which was a great end to the round.
Awesome day at Las Vegas National GC!!
Early morning start, great coursewith lots of history, was in awesome shape!!
Great layout!! I love this course !!from tee to greens.
