Las Vegas National Golf Course

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.

When my wife and I were looking for places to play on our trip to Vegas, we were looking for an experience. We came across Las Vegas National which marketed their Golf Boards.

After the first few holes we thought we would only be able to use them for 9 holes. They were murder on your arms... but at around the 4th hole we started to get the hang of it and use our body more.

When we played it was cart path only due to the recent over seeding, with the golf boards we could at least ride in the rough.

Golf course was in great condition and you catch a few glimpses of the strip hotels to remind you where you really are.

Very disappointed with the course condition, fairways and tee boxes were a disgrace. Layout was good some excellent par 3 holes but overall due to condition of course would not recommend to play it especially at full rate prices. Having played Bali Hai 2 days before it would suggest that course maintenance not up to standard.

Historic course that has seen its better days. With so many courses to choose from in Vegas, for this price, which is not cheap, there are much better choices. Houses around the course perimeter are old and run down. Played as a twosome, front nine was quick but then ran into the back end of outing, which caused the back nine to come to a stall. Actually walked off the course after 11 holes realizing the back nine was on a three hour pace

the course is flat with some water hazards
Main problem is too close of airport so a lot of noise
not challenging

I wanted to play a course that was not a 50.00 cab ride to and from, and didn't want to spend 500.00 at Wynn,so Las Vegas National looked like a good fit. I was paired with 3 locals who were very friendly and really enjoyed my round. The course has a great deal of history with many celebraties having owned houses on the course. The greens were nice but pretty slow because of the rain overnight. All in all a nice experience, and would play there again. Oh, and the staff was friendly also.

Wish every golf course had a staff this friendly. Made it very enjoyable.

Small size greens make it challenging for GIR. I will play there again.

I prepaid and was paired with two LV residents. We had a blast! The staff was super friendly and accommodating! Since I had to check out of my room earlier that day and I was on my way to the airport, the staff held my luggage. The course itself was awesome! Great course if you are a novice golfer looking for the opportunity to play while in LV. I definitely want to return!

We have muni's in Michigan that puts this place to shame. I played with 2 locals who said they were only charged $39 while I was cleaned for $79.

Greens were fine, fairways were poor, im guessing they were letting it go before overseed. Bunkers were pathetic. Normally its an ok course.

First time playing the National and although quite challenging in parts, the course plays well. What singles this place out compared to other Vegas courses is that it really feels like a local course not one built specifically for the tourist/conference market. The clubhouse was friendly with good food and good advice, the Taylor made clubs were in excellent condition and the course marshalls kept things moving along. The course itself was challenging enough but could've probably been more difficult if the water hazards came into play more, it was simple enough to take less club and go round rather than being forced to drive over but that kept my score down. All in all, a great morning at half the price of the main courses on the strip.

Great facilities, nice efficient staff, course was near perfect tee to green! Greens were fluffy (slow) but held shots and putted true and consistent!! We played the tips (6700+ yds.) so quite a few very tough, long par 4's and some very long par 3's! Plenty of sand, water (lakes, ponds and creeks too!) Loved the whole course, can't wait to play it again! FYI - Don't miss the draft beer special in the clubs bar! Take you 18 hole score card and the 1st beer is your score! My 1st one was only .82 cents! ;)

Nice course to spend a day at. Great staff nice chipping and putting area

In golf there are three conditions that make or break the experience: The course itself , The staff, and the players in your group.
Las Vegas National hit it out of the park again on all fronts. From Randy picking up your bags and getting you set up to Chris at check in, Cory as the Starter and Lisa in the cafe.
The course is in excellent condition even though it's August , and the group I was paired with were fun to play and patient with my game.
It's a great value and a fun challenging course.
Funny note: I think the backyard dogs that are next to some of the tee boxes were trained by their owners to bark during your backswing .
