Las Vegas National Golf Course

Was concerned with some recent reviews, however found the course to be in good condition, the greens rolled well and were fairly quick and the fairways in good state. Great layout and challenging course with some rather long par 3's. Felt very welcome upon arrival and the food and drink was good and reasonably priced. Be prepared to be put with other players, my playing partner and I were paired up with two lady golfers, a little surprised as they were beginners and we played from the tips. Overall we had a very enjoyable round and feel it was value for money $79 on golf now, with rental clubs $59 and would play here again. Thank you to all the staff.

Excellent course!! A great value for my money

A must play in Vegas- my favorite between this, Desert Pines and TPC Vegas.

First time playing this course, glad I did. The course was beautiful and in very good shape. Fairways had roll, bunkers had sand and the greens were excellent and a little fast. Played with a couple who had played here before and it made for a very nice round. We finished in about 3 hours and 45 minutes which was nice, had a group ahead of us for the last 5 holes with a walker but he moved pretty good. The course has history and has some really nice old homes around the course, of course there were some run down ones also, don't understand why? Bring your camera and take a few pictures. Got something to eat before I went out, food was very good, also the staff that I encountered were all really nice. I got a good deal on Golfnow and will play this course again.

Pros: Course was green, fairways, tees and greens well maintained, rough high and difficult. I thought we had a water shortage in Las Vegas???? Not here. Bad part is mud on the ball and not much roll. I was paired up with some tourists playing their annual golf game. Despite finishing in 4 hrs 10 minutes we were hounded and harassed by the Marshall the whole day. Then on the tenth hole we get to the tee and the starter has put a new group ahead of us. I will say we did have some slow holes, but played the back in 1:45 so I guess he made his point. Driving range as usual has beautiful green grass but your not allowed to use it. Instead you warm up on plastic turf. I never understood this? Why are so many courses afraid to let people practice on grass? So what if the range looks like it has been used. It Should ! Anyhow, my tip for you is keep the ball below the hole.

Great day, great conditions...

The course is overpriced for non-residents . For a few dollars more, one can play a number of other courses in the area.

Condition of the course was good. Staff was very friendly, starter was able to get us out on time inspire of it being very busy. I would not recommend it for the only reason that there are other courses in Las Vegas.

Since we only had the afternoon to play, we didn't want to drive too far out of town and decided on Las Vegas National. It was a Sunday afternoon and it was not too busy. I thought the course was in great shape and the greens rolled well. Overall it was an enjoyable front nine and we look forward to coming back and playing the back nine.

Who knew that the world famous Las Vegas National was to be found surrounded by squalor? I have no issues with the course and layout. I played from the back tees and found the course to be relatively challenging. That said, it reminded me of a typical muni course. I have no issues with munis. I play them all of the time. But I don't expect to pay $129 plus $59 for club rental to play a course that has absolutely no redeeming character. For that kind of money I would expect nice views of the mountains... something "pretty".
The whole experience was just lackluster. Starting with the cart guys who seemed put out to have to get me rental clubs. Follow that up with a starter that couldn't seem to remember that i was a single and "what was your name again". There seemed to be no order to who teed off next.
I have no issue with the cart girl. I actually appreciated the fact that when I ordered a bottle of water from her she told me that there was two bottles in the cart already (again, that might have been something nice to know).
Everything was just kind of ragged around the edges. The course itself was OK and placed most anywhere else might have been enjoyable.
If I was a resident, I might be OK with paying the $49 resident rate. But have no intention of paying $129 again for this experience.

I try to play this course every time I am in Las Vegas, The layout is traditional and the clubhouse "feels like golf" It is really a nostalgic experience

Great course to play in Las Vegas.

Course not in the best of shape, wouldn't take much to make it great..greens were bumpy. Location is so convenient, why not raise the rate a bit and invest that in maintain economic and make it a great course, you can sense how good it was back in the days but now they treat the course like a muni..however the service was excellent..the pro shop can use some merchandise or a merchandiser , given all the history and tradition this course should be treated as a jeweled landmark.

Best of Vegas, Good condition, convenient location

The course is always in pretty good shape. Too pricey for it to be a local course. They hit you with the out of towner's rates. Don't know why the city of Las Vegas make these courses charge so much for the out of town visitors. It is a rip off. There are so many other local courses you can play for cheaper.

The days of Sammy Davis Jr and the Rat Pack holding court at LVN are no more. The course resembles nothing of a course that used to host a PGA Tour event. Pace of play was very slow, and greens were bumpy and hard. This place definitely feels like old Vegas, but all the luster has worn off. The history of the course is cool, but that's about it.

The course was in decent condition.It was a very windy and cold day. The course was mentally challenging from a course management perspective. Would like to play again in conditions where winds weren't blowing at 20+ and the temperature is above the 45 degree mark.

The major detraction is the outside influence on the course. Read other views about homes along course being from a different era and was questioning why that even matters for golf. Well, trash in the creek reminds you of a transient's refuge. The homes have dilapidated fences with little to no lawn care. Did get to see transient relieving himself.

If you block out everything outside the fences, then a decent track.

the only think I didn't like about the course was the par 3 hole are extremely long. when you have to use driver and 3wood on par threes they are too long

Awesome course! Historical venue! Had breakfast in the bar and all of the memorabilia is chilling. Knowing I'm sitting in the seat where the greats sat, makes me excited to play there

Great location, great history, good layout, but in poor condition. I hope some day that changes.

Wide fairways in very good condition. Holes paint a picture. Well groomed and placed traps make holding firm greens tricky. Greens are large and fast and true. Par 3's are not easy.
