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.

Visited Vegas for my 50th. This round was a late add on through golfnow. Course was in good shape and staff was great. Enjoyed this round almost as much as the one my wife booked at 3x the price!

Easy access, great views

Just minutes from the Strip and equi-distant from Eastern and Western residential areas, views to the Strip, South-bound landing traffic at McCarran, Western mountains with Mt. Charleston as well as the historical markers explaining interesting owners of adjacent properties makes wait time between holes pleasantly bearable. Course staff attentive.

Greens were the silver lining to otherwise disappointing experience

The attraction of playing here waa to take in the history of this old-school course, and that did not disappoint. However, if this course were anywhere else, it would cost $40 to play, not $99. The overall conditions were just average. Beware of the bunkers, many are not raked, and they are extremely inconsistent, most are hard pan with very little sand. Then some have a lot of sand, which is really more like crushed rock. Don't take your gamers there if you don't want to scuff them up.

The pace of play was poor, tee boxes sometimes had 2 groups waiting. I would not return to play here given the chance.

We're sorry to hear you experience was not up to your expectations due to the pace of play and the bunker conditions you may have experienced. We are working towards the best conditions possible and will address these concerns here at the course. We do hope you give us another shot though, we want to give you a much better experience if you choose to return.

Entertaining Day

This course was the site of the PGA Las Vegas Invitational in the 1960s.

Also, the golf scenes in Casino were filmed on this course. Lots of history and interesting facts.

The course itself was in better than average condition. The greens were fast, but fair. Overall, moderately challenging and a nice round.

Worth the 1/2 rack rate

Good course & layout. A little beat up in areas but the course itself fairways, greens etc were in good condition. Would play here again at 50% rate. Would never pay full non-resident rate $120 lots of better options in the vegas area for $100+

Very nice course!!!!! Grass was like playing on nice carpoet

Very well maintained course... The people were extremely nice. The Marshall had to speed us up and was very nice about it. He was right we were playing slow but after telling us we caught up with the group ahead of us. The course itself is absolutely fantastic. There are several houses on the fairways that are in bad need of repair but the course beauty certainly made up for it. Greens were just as nice.

Las Vegas National

The course is tired. He homes surrounding the course are even worse, very run down from a once glamorous time. The garbage surrounding the river is totally disgusting. Pleasant staff and as it was a wet morning with very few gofers, I played 18 holes in just under 2 1/2 hours. Won't rush back here.
