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.

A Good Time
Great classic course layout unlike most courses here in the desert. Still a little trash issue in the canals although somewhat better than a year ago. What a great course this could be with some serious work. Still fun to play...
The course was in great shape
The course was in great shape, they were doing qualifications for the amateurs. So the place was in excellent condition .
Great course! Classic PGA tour links. Lots of history here.
This is the best course in Vegas for the price. PGA history and lush surroundings. Be prepared for long par 3's! Great fun, you won't be disappointed ------
Old School Course
Great course in Vegas. A lot of history. The staff was great and the course in great shape. Great value for the money.
Good shape..terrible pace of play
Staff was friendly and range was convenient. Value would have been better if pace of play allowed me to continue after front nine. Would play it again but not behind a tournament group.
VACATION
Would come back to play throughly enjoyed it. Several holes were challenging. Like the old courses.
It matters what you where ladies
My husband and I play this course each year when we visit Vegas and this is the first year that I had to buy a "collared golf shirt" to play. I had a very nice top on but it did not have a collar and the young man was boldly determined that I had to have a collar. (It did give me an excuse.....) Anyway, we had a wonderful round of golf on a very old and mature course that has all the fun challenges that mature courses usually have. It has always been a favorite of ours.
This course is in great shape. Well maintained.
I'll play again next time I return to Vegas. This course has a lot of trees. They provide good shade for the golf cart. The early morning tee time is recommended. The greens were slightly sanded but the ball still rolled fast with a lot of breaks to the hole. Tip - before putting, always read the break from behind the hole.
A Gem - Will Play Again
A wonderful traditional golf course - tree-lined fairways and small greens make it somewhat challenging. A nice change from the desert and target courses. Take your GPS unit if you have one - we didn't find yardages on the sprinklers.
Nice Course.
The course was in good condition but greens were still recovering from aeration so it was not very smooth for putting. Otherwise a good choice to play just a little expensive.
Good, But Slow
Played the course on a busy Sunday morning. I enjoyed the overall layout very much. It was fun to see a little bit of old Vegas along the way. I imagine at one time the LV National neighborhood was among the nicest in the city. Sadly, those times are gone, but the course has stood the test of time.
Overall the condition of the course was average to slightly above. Greens were in good shape, though the fairways were a bit patchy in spots. No bad though - certainly playable.
My only issue would be pace of play. We caught up to the group in front of us on the back nine. We were on pace for a sub 4 hour round prior to that, but things pretty much came to a screeching halt on #11. Still, got the round in about 4 hours 15 minutes, which isn't too bad.
I like the course. I'd definitely play it again.
NICE OLD SCHOOL COUNTRY CLUB
COURSE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, LOTTS OF TREES AND GRASS FOR A VEGAS COURSE.
HOMES IN THE AREA ARE AN EYE SORE BUT SOME ARE GOOD OLD VEGAS. THAT COURSE WAS GREAT CONDITION AND LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING AGAIN
History and charm
A break from open desert courses in the area, the history and charm of this country club style atmosphere is well done. Great course, conditions, and friendly staff made for an enjoyable round.
las vegas golf
This course is a pleasure to play.the staff is friendly and the course is fair to play.rewards you for good shots and penalized for bad ones.I will play it again.
So close to an A
First off, legendary layout, for sure one of the best Las Vegas has to offer. The condition of the course is very good, and the playability is addicting. Just to walk those grounds and hit those shots that so many greats have before is a thrill. That being said there are a few short falls.
1.) the rough could be a bit longer and really challenge the above average player.
2.) Dry, old mats on the range! It's like having to eat an old sausage before a steak dinner.
Overall rating: B +
A nice link to Vegas' past
Put this one on you schedule just for the experience. It would no longer qualify to host a PGA or LPGA event anymore but is still well maintained. Depending on which tees you select, you will probably hit everything in your bag.
Nice Traditional Track
Nice traditional track, good value for the $89 green fee.
Clubhouse upgrade on outside, in desperate need of indoor upgrades.
Course in decent shape, greens not bad for spring.
Tournament the day before left pins tucked in behind bunkers in almost impossible locations to get the ball close.
97 degress F the day we played, extremely windy, a 2-3 club wind, made it tough to play some par 5's.
Nice old course!
Played this course 3 times this week... It's one of the closest courses to the strip. Staff are friendly, cart girls come by often. The greens weren't in the best shape with plenty of plug marks and unrepaired divots and could be rolled a bit more, but aside for on that the course was in good shape. It has nice wide fairways and the rough is cut pretty short. Lots of bunkers. Hard to beat for the price!!!
Simply average, too bad.
I was hoping to like this Slice of Old Vegas, but the unwelcoming feel from the staff, and sense of entitlement of the regulars, make this a one off for me. I played my round with 3 gentlemen from Denmark; there were two groups ahead of our foursome. As we finished the 11th (par 3) hole the Marshal approached us about slow play. He (the Marshal) suggested that we let some “REGULARS” play through before our next hole. The group ahead of us had just teed-off on the 12th (par 4). I said the group ahead of us just teed-off. The Marshal said well, these guys behind you play here every day.
We did not wait and finished our round in 4 hrs. and 10 minutes. Generally, Non-resident pay a premium to play golf in Tourist destinations. We (Vacationing Golfers) shouldn’t receive bad / rude service for the inflated privilege of playing at a golf course.
