Las Vegas National Golf Course
About
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.

Worth hot deal rate
Greens were being irrigated.
Tee boxes were being over run by weeds
Fairways were in good shape. No complaints. Course is fairy open. No real desert landscape to worry about.
poor greens
The course was not in good condition, greens were all under repair, with both sand and holes on them. they will properly be "great" within the next month.
The course has a interesting layout, and the potential to be really great, but it will demand some maintenance before one can call it great.
It feels like my home course to me.
Wide open but fairway traps are placed well. Par 3's can be a challenge with a drivable Par 4 for big hitters. Can humble even some average player's. Over all a good and close course to the Strip or Downtown.
Nice change of pace
Enjoyable old style parkland golf. Nice break from the ubiquitous desert style courses. Very good layout and challenge. Conditions good, bermuda greens not quite as smooth as the usual bentgrass, understandably.
Unkept and in poor condition
Limited flight balls off mats on range. Greens hard as concrete but shaggy and slow. Course was unkept. No fun.
Great place
For the price is a great place to visit on your vacation
Excellent older type Vegas course
Great course. Hit it straight though. Shame the neighborhood doesn't positively reflect the great history of this course. Would definitely play again and again.
Best value for money and proximity to strip.
Every time I visit Vegas, this course continues to impress. Great track and more importantly fun to play. Highly recommend this course to those wanting to enjoy golf for inexpensive play.
superb
played twice in two days.
very challenging, great conditions
great combination of holes; greens all have very subtle breaks.
come back in march and play again
Great Traditional Track
This is a great older track. Needs some TLC. Tees were rough, traps not trimmed. Little things that could make this a really great course again. Wonderful hole design and I would definitely play again.
GREAT Golf Everyone Should Play
This was the first time we played this course and it was in Great Shape we were able to get out early and played as a twosome. I would recommend this to anyone fairways and greens were well manicured and there is history here that everyone who plays golf should take in.
Great course
Great, challenging course with lots of history for Las Vegas. The Rat Pack use to call that there home and great people like Tiger wools play there on PGA tournuments.
NICE COURSE, NICE STAFF
Love this course, surrounded by "old Vegas celebrity" style homes. Greens were a bit shaggy but otherwise great course. Staff is super nice and informative. I will be back soon.
Good Round
It was agood course to play in Las Vegas and close to the strip. It was in very good conditon and the grens where fast. I would bring other to play,
Playing with the rat pack?
An iconic course. The course isn't in the best of shape and certainly not up to par with the higher end course. But, the course is enjoyable and memorable. No tricky stuff here. Just a plane jane, but still fun.
July Heat
nobody plays golf in vegas in 117 degree heat but we did. the course was well maintained and the greens held shots and putted well
course is wide open so play wasn't affected by looking for lost balls and arrant shots.
staff was minimal as you might expect being their non-peek time, but they could have been a little more attentive. we actually took our cart to our car after no one met us at the finish only to have someone drive over after we had unloaded our bags and begin wiping them off. Kind of late wouldn't you think.
Definitely going back when I am back in town
Challenging but enjoyable experience.
This was a surprising fine in the Las Vegas desert. The pristine greens and lush fairways made this a very enjoyable experience..
Not Bad
While I may have had higher expectations, I did expect the course to be in better condition. However, it is a decent course for the price. Probably won't go back, but would revommend for a fast round, hardly anyone on the course.
Great course
Not a bad thing about this course at all. They do need to provide free water though
good value close to strip
I think this course is good value given how close to the strip it is. I found a "hot" deal and it was really worth it. This is a fairly forgiving course for the weekend player. When I go to vegas with the fellows this course is on our agenda.
