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.

Good course close to strip

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.

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

Great Course! Highlight of my trip!

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!

Not worth it.

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.

Excellent, Friendly 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.

Classic track, passes the test of time!

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! ;)

A Jewel in the Desert

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 .

Great day for golf

You will notice the friendly customer service right away. It was afternoon so "Play when you're ready". They also provided a small bucket and some water in the cooler. I had a great golf afternoon at my own pace. You want to be in good position to have a shot into the green. Each hole has a well developed challenge for the average golfer. I'm going back again.

Lots of Sand!

We played immediately following a tournament that went off in the morning, so that may be the reason for the pin placement - but we had to go over sand (which I ended up IN most times) on almost every hole. Still, a fun course!

Old Style Golf

I booked it thru Golf Now so it was an amazing value! The course was in great shape, but the greens had recently been aerified so they had some sand still on them and were a little slow. I knew that before I started , so it was expected.

The course has been there for 50 years, and it is still a solid layout and a fun test.

I like the Vegas golf hall of fame in the clubhouse, and Donna at the 19th hole behind the bar was so awesome! I would play it again for sure!

C Goleno - Las Vegas!

Great Value

This is a fantastic venue that is not mentioned in many of the "Places to Play" like articles on the web. How often do you get to play a course that a major championship winner got his first PGA tour win for $55, much less Tiger Woods's first win. The course was in good shape and very playable for the average golfer.

We will definitely come back to this course on our next trip to Las Vegas!

Excellent Deal

Got a great deal through GolfNow. Course was in good shape and the weather was fantastic (mid-90's). Asked to push our tee time back so we could watch the end of the Open. No problem. Beverage person was prompt and very personable. Fairways were pretty wide open with a few water hazards sprinkled in. Bunkers (I found a few) were soft and well maintained. Great deal!!

Well worth the money

My son and I played this course for the first time. It is an older course with a lot of charm. To play a course that former PGA players played tournaments on was nostalgic. Definitely will play it again.

Old School Fun

This is a really great place to play. You can almost feel the Rat Pack playing up ahead of you. Upgrade to the Golfboards. They make the whole experience a lot of fun.
