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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us. We understand the course layout didn't meet your expectations and you did not see as much value as we would have hoped you would have seen. We hope you give us another shot, we will address your concerns with our staff to ensure there are enough refreshments to go around, especially with the heat these days.

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.

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.

Good straight forward course

Pros: The fairways, greens, and bunkers are in very good to excellent condition. Beverage cart on the course. Friendly staff. Breakfast at the grill was good. Has a driving range and putting green. Near the hotels.

Cons: Busy golf course so the play was a little slow by default.

Great golf for the price

Had played the course two years ago but was hurried and did not have time to really enjoy the course. Even though it is not the newest, this time around I had a chance to play at a very comfortable pace, the course itself was very well kept and traffic on that day was limited. I arrived early with a tee time of 10:30 am but was given opportunity to tee off early. Weather was hot but not Vegas summer weather hot. Greens were well cut and overall the staff was very friendly. I was just not another golfer out to play, all took the time to ask about my play, even the workers cutting and working on the grounds. Very satisfied with the course and will definitely go play again....
