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.

Decent course

Fairways were in good shape. Pretty small greens. Was a nice contrast to the desert courses I had played the previous 2 days. All things considered I had a very good time. Pace was slow so I played the back 9 twice.

Enjoyable course

This is the course that Tiger first won as a pro so that was cool. The front 9 from the white tees is long for a hacker like myself. Back was a few hundred yards shorter. Course was in good shape, greens very fast. It seems each green had at least 2-3 big sandtraps surrounding them. Accuracy is important. There are also several holes where water comes into play. I played three courses trip, Legacy, Wildhorse and this one. This was the best of the three. Wildhorse I would not recommend, Legacy was good but slow. I was paired with another single and we finished in just under 3 1/2 hours (A foursome let us play through at 12). I would strongly recommend playing here just for the cool factor and that the rat pack use to hang there.

Great Course For The Money

The first time I played this course a few years ago I played as a single and the weather was more benign. This time I played National two days in a row this time with a playing partner with 25-30 mph winds.Last time I played the white tees (I'm at 71 years), but the course was still a challenge from the gold tees. It, of course, played tougher, but it was still enjoyable. The course was in very good shape and the attendants and starter were very helpful. If you want to play a course that has some challenge but not at the expense of the top courses, this is a good course to play. And it is pretty close to the strip.

Nice course for the money

The fairways were in good shape- some of the T boxes were in rough shape and close to the green you have some areas where the grass in in clumps but overall it was ok. You need some accuracy here as there are houses next to the fairway so one needs to be careful. The par three's are somewhat challenging due to distance. Nice course and I'll play it again. There was no food in the bar though so don't depend on that

enjoyable and a few challenging holes

I was sent out with 3 locals who knew the course well we all were golfing at plus15 or so this day. There are some dry spots but not too bad the greens were slower than i expected with several levels, to keep you honest. I would play again.

For money and proximity to Strip, worth it's!

I come out to Vegas once a year and like to play 4-5 different courses each time. For just $75 (compared to $140+ at most others) this is not a bad value. Staff was very helpful. Range balls included. Layout was fine and course condition was ok. Actually a slope of 133 from whites which make it seem very challenging, but I didn't find it that tough. Overall I was pleased, considering what I had heard from others and glad I played it.

dehydration

I have never played a golf course that does not furnish enough water to keep players hydrated. They did provide 1 bottle per person at the start of the round. It was 90° and after 3 holes we were searching for water jugs on the course ( there were none).At the turn we asked for more water and we were told we could BUY more water if we wanted it The course itself was ok, but being hot, thirsty, and dehydrated did not make playing this course enjoyable at all.

Can't go wrong with the value

For someone that normally shoots a 100 to 110... this is the perfect course. This is the 3rd time I'm playing this course and it never disappoints. The only issue I had was being rushed by the starter and made us feel like we were running behind. By the time we're halfway through the first hole I realized we were much earlier than our scheduled tee time and my partner never got to properly warm up because of that. Other than that I'll def be back... for the price you can't go wrong.

This course has a lot in common with the rat pac. All are gone

My son and I arrived at 10:50 for a 12:00 tee time. Got breakfast, very good. At 11:30 went to driving range to hit balls. Called to tee at 11:40. They made a point of saying how strict they were about tee times. No practice putting and just a couple of warm up shots. Once we got on the course, noticed they had put out a couple of single groups behind us. Singles, they didn't even join them up.
The course is a great old school lay-out. I kept thinking of how it was when the Rat Pack roamed the fairways. Now, they really need a Greens-keeper. Someone who knows what fairways and greens are. This could be really great. But as it is now, don't waste your time.

Not worth the Money

Here's the deal, back in the day, this was probably the place to play. Now, I wouldn't bother. The course was in poor condition, the greens were sandy and little green to them. It took forever to play. A single before us hit into the group in front of her, she hit multiple balls, to the ranger, told the starter, nothing done. The starter sent singles and twosomes out regardless of the time booked to just slow down play. Poor planning. We played 4 other courses in the Vegas area. They were better courses for less money. Don't be fooled by the past and look for other courses to play at the same money.

Golfboard

The course is pretty straightforward. Not many surprises. They have the Golfboard which adds a new excitement to the game. Golfboard is easy to ride if you have good balance and/or have ridden a snowboard. They charge a lot for out of towners...$20 extra to ride the Golfboard.

Las Vegas-The National

Teamed up with regular members Wayne, Rick and Rick for my first game at the National. It felt like a home course, lots of great advice for a single walk on. The course plays very fair, no blind shots just a great layout. The staff at the course are very professional, no delays from the time you park the car to getting set up for play. The resort clubs could learn from this one, great customer service by observing the little things that matter. See you on my next visit for sure.
