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.

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!

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.

Course has seen better days

No notice of very recent aeration until checking in to play. I avoided other courses because I had aeration notice. Older course that plays like a municipal course.
Not overly challenging and the claim to fame is that the movie Casino was partly shot there. I would not recommend this course to plan to play again.

its not the TPC but not too bad..

It was hot the day we played (102) but the course was in pretty good shape, greens were slower than I'm use to but not bad. Greens were pretty tough, a lot of them sat sideways perpendicular to fairway, tough... I didn't bring my sticks so had to rent them, rentals were pricey but fairly new taylor mades.

Get Away

First of all when i showed up at the club House ,They Never told me That They were doing maintenance on the front nine and that we were to play the back twice.i learned about it from the starter.
We Went on anyway to find a course in condition under average.when We made the turn They booked too many people without a Marshall on the course so the pace of play became a nightmare...So we decided to leave after 12 holes.
This place is a joke

Refreshing change of pace

This was a very enjoyable round of golf. I was paired with a staff member from the club and another regular golfer. We played in less than 4 hours with little waiting on the tees. The course was a parkland course which was a nice change of pace from the desert courses in the area. It was in fairly good condition although not prestine like in its hay day as a regular rotation on the PGA Tour. Greens were a little slow, but a great layout.

Memorial Weekend

Started at 2:40pm. For a Friday before the Memorial Weekend, it wasn't crowded at all. Played as a three some. No one ahead to slow us down and no one behind us pushing our stool in. Cloud cover throughout the round making it perfect except for the strong winds on two holes in the middle of the round. I thought that the $79/player at that time is on the high side maybe because it's close to the strip. More affordable than Bali Hai and Wynn.

Pre Warnings

Had the Staff warned of a tournament that was started on the Back Nine I would have played Bali Hai!
From 9 played in 2 hrs then the tournament stopped us dead in tracks
The course did refund the Cost!

Nice course

Arrived and was met in the parking lot by a cart who took my bags to where my foursome was warming up. I went in and paid and talked to Brian a very nice gentleman who let me know the green conditions and how the rate of play was. Hit a few balls on the range and was pleasantly surprised when the starter told us we had 10 minutes as the party in front of us was on the tee box. Promptly at 10:10 we hit off. Never had to wait nor ever felt like we were being pushed. Long par 3's and lot's of long challenging holes. Only complaint was that the greens were very hard, I looked to fix any divot holes and there wasn't one on 18 greens. The greens were hard and had no grip. Sand in the bunkers could use a renewal, it also was a little hard.It was a good day overall with good friends, nice weather and a very fun course.
