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.

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.

Great track uncovered

LVNGC has re-discovered its golf course over the last few years. It's amazing what new staffing and new strains of grass can do to course conditions.

The greens were about perfect; the fairways were excellent; and the rough was just about right. Even the range was in good shape. This course also has some of the best bunker sand around. Much improved since I played the National 4 years ago. My only complaint was the grass on the tees, which needed a quick haircut (We played on a Saturday mid-day, and I'm guessing they were cut Friday morning…a little fuzzy).

There's a great golf course here. Don't miss it.

Nice course

Good course and good value. The only thing that would have added to this course would be GPS system on cart to explain hole by hole lay out. Staff was very professional and service spectacular.

Overlooked Gem

In the past I have avoided playing the National because of poor course conditions due to the age of the course. Boy was I surprised at the condition the course is in now. Extremely well maintained and very playable. Staff was really friendly.

Only criticism is range is mats only and some of the infrastructure is in dyer need of updating.

Would definitely play here again very soon.

Solid deal on a nice cource--until you reach the greens

A nice feel good track with excellent course conditions until you reach the greens. The greens were hard, bumpy and a bit shaggy. But for $49 bucks on a beautiful Friday afternoon who is complaining? The best part was going in as a single and getting paired up with a good guy from London. We teed off at 4 pm and finished a6 7:05 just as the sun was setting. You really ask more than that,--other than a few less three putts.

OK course.

OK course, not real easy to find, map the hotel gave us not too good. Map quest ahead of time and should be OK. Greens were bumpy and slow, rest of course was fairly good. Due to poor map from hotel, we arrived right at our tee time, staff was very helpful at getting us checked in and onto the course.

Hidden Treasure

I played twilight rate of $69. For that price thought course was great. Normal Course rate is $89 (May think that would be on the high side). For a Muni Course thought it was in excellent course, good layout, decent greens, good pace of play. Only complaint was reserved tee time on Golf Now and when I showed up no tee time, lucky they were able to fit me close to my orginal tee time. Fairly close to Strip. Took cab from Mirage and cost $18 including tip. Good history with the course.

A good way to spend a nice day

This was my first time on this course. The price, through GolfNow, was reasonable at $99, which is about half the cost of most courses in this area. Very pleasant staff all around. I will be back.

Las Vegas national

The Course was in good condition, well manicured and maintained. The greens were a little slow, but were pretty consistent the whole round. The staff was pretty friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were old and bad, definitely need an upgrade. Overall a good experience, I would recommend to a friend.

Always a hit

Played on a Wednesday late morning (11:22 tee time) Starter got me and a friend out early and paired us up with another twosome. Everything about the day was good. From tee boxes to fairways to greens and even bunkers (which in the past have been a little iffy) were all very well maintained. If I have any complaints or derogatory remarks I can only say that the greens were quite hard and any long iron or wood approach shots had a difficult time holding the green. Will definitely play again and again. On average we play the LV National 2-3 time a year. Keep up the great work people.

Everything was nice but the range

The driving range is mats only, which makes hitting off grass difficult once you start playing. I personally won't play here again until they let you hit off grass at the range.
