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.

A gem in the middle of the city

This is another traditional course that can easily be walked. The holes are a little longer for women and longer clubs are needed to get on the greens. The holes are elevated and the greens are a challenge. There is lots of shade for when the sun beats down in warmer months. It was cooler playing but very enjoyable.

Great value

First time playing and we had a great time at National. The starters and the staff were great. Course was beautiful and some great views on the course. Wish I could hit it straighter I lost a ton of balls!

Unexpected challenge

The overall course condition is slightly above average for a public course and pace of play is good as well. Course isnt long but is far more challenging then expected. Course rating is wrong on golfnow it is 73.5/138 from only 6750 or so. Tough par 3s on back 9. #16 played 228 into the wind!

Goof course

The staff will treat you like a pro. From picking up your
clubs at your car to cleaning your clubs before you put them back in your trunk. Great course if you want to play close to your hotel. The course was in great shape with fast greens.

A true legend !!

This golf course has gone through decades of problems. From the original Stardust Golf Club to the Sahara to the Hilton and what it is now. It is an astounding layout. The greens have changed over the years from super fast rolled PGA Tour quality to a bit grainy but the same. Bring your game, this is a tough golf course. I love this place!!

Will come back for sure. The staff was extremely friendly, and the course was challenging enough. The only knock, is the airplanes taking off all of the time

Worse Greens I ever play.

T boxes not in good shape, fairways ok, greens are too bushy. My ball fly is high and every time I approach the greens I make a big divot witch I like to fix when I get to the greens... At this course I never made a divot because the greens are like GIGANTIC AFRO! I'm not laying to you. I played with some local nice kid. I asked him why they don't cut down the greens? He said: that's the way they Protect the greens by not cut them. Bottom line you can't put on those greens you need a HAMMER!

Good value. Close to strip.

Always enjoy this course. What I did not like was price of the rental clubs for $65. I think that's a stiff price. I also did not like the blade-like feel of the Taylor-made clubs. Woods were good.

Terrible

Worst $99 I have ever spent. Wynn is down the street for $400-$500 a round which is too expensive for me but after spending $99 on this I would have spent the extra money in a heart beat. Terrible course conditions along with playing along chain link fences of backyards with dogs running along with you. Worst part was that I was entertaining a client and it was rather embarrassing. Went off the 4 star reviews on golf now which I can't trust anymore.

This reminded me of the type of course I grew up on. It was well kept for a course built in 1961. I sure we hit it on a good day, 3 1/2 hour round. Would definitely play it again.

Terrible Scheduling. Scheduled us in the middle of a tournament.

The course was nice. However my group traveled across the country solely to play golf and booked ahead. Upon our arrival we were informed we would get about 3-4 holes in before a tournament started. Once we got past the 3rd hole there were EIGHT (8) golfers on each box and in front of us and behind us. I've played hundreds of rounds of golf and never in my life have been scheduled right in the middle of a tournament. Absolutely terrible experience. We didn't even get to finish our round and a complete day of golf was taken from our trip.

Course is in great shape.

Some of the past reviews of this course were not very kind. However I was very happy to see that the course was in great shape, it was very playable and challenging, and the course staff were extremely courteous and helpful.

Mediocre course but centrally located

Pros: It's convenient to central Vegas and was about a third the price of the casino courses.
Cons: Standard American parkland style course and eminently forgettable.

Oldie but Goodie

For this being one of the older courses in Las Vegas, it still gives newer courses a run for their money. Course layout is challenging for all skill levels and the conditions are always up to par. Will most certainly continue to play this course in the future.

I deafly wouldn't recommend it that day.

That was not a good deal that day, they're in the process of over seating, and that should've been revealed at the time that you purchased the round, I think it's the golf course responsibility to reveal that information, there was so many grass clippings on the fairway you could lose your ball and not even know where it went because the ball went underneath the grass clippings it was so thick.

Boggest dissapointment worst course I have ever played

Read reviews seemed like a good play. EVERY fairway was dead and brown. What gras there was , was brown cut and left in small piles in the fairway. Would not ever play again even if it was free. Not woth the time. Golf now should not even list this course since it is so unplayable.

Long drive for this???

Booked time via GolfNow prior to driving from Phoenix. No indication of any course maintenance or extraordinary issues going on. Not pleasantly surprised to see course shaved down as if overseeding started the next day. Inside staff very inefficient.

tight lies

Nice course conditions with very tight lies in the fairways. They were cut down and were fast. The design is classic and it is a wonderful test of golf.
