Las Vegas National Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Awesome course!!
After living in Vegas for 30 years, today was my first time playing this great course! It's a Vegas staple for local courses. I golfed down the fairway the plane landed on in the movie Casino. Golfed next to the Maine Casino home and surrounding property. It was nostalgic!
The course was in great shape! The fairways green and fast, the greens the same. Bunkers were scattered all over the course and so many pine trees lined the fairways.
The clubhouse has good breakfast and all around a good menu for after your round.
I highly recommend hitting this course if you can when you visit here!
Sad what happened to this place
Pretty good design that is in poor shape. Lots of potential with this property, but greens were slow and bumpy, fairways shaggy, and rough spotty. A nice touch that had been added since the previous time I played was the addition of signs highlighting various celebrities' homes around the property. Course has a lot of significant history, is home to the Las Vegas Hall of Fame, has hosted major tournaments in the past - the potential is there. But there's not much investment into course maintenance. And sadly, not much investment into the houses around the course (though that's not the course's fault). At least half the houses were abandoned or in serious need of repair (one had been turned into a UNLV frat house). So much lost potential here.
Fairways ok greens were bumpy and patchy not very good at all
Long Course
Had a fun round during this COVID-19 reopening. 104 degrees with a slight breeze. No one in front or behind us. Long fairways with enough water, rough, trees & bunkers to keep you on your toes!
Cool Place
Really neat place and the history is awesome. Not in the best shape but a good layout. Overall good though.
Fairyways and greens were average. Looked like the grass was not fully grown in
Great Value & Love the History
The Club house has great memorability and the history of this storied course. Great value. Only thing is please clean up the trash in the wash that runs though it. It looks to have been there for a long time.
Golfing with friends
Last time I played here, was over 20 years ago. Eventhough I don’t remember the layout, it was in great shape back then. Great shape today. It was nice the restaurant opens early, 5:30 am. Good food there. I would totally recommend eating there, before or after a round of golf. I do like the fact, they gave out free driving range golf balls to hit, before you tee off. Good price for the round, $40 through golf now app for locals. Definitely would go back here to play again.
Vegas Gem
Course is always in great shape. A hard but for test for your game.
Great course, friendly staff and beautiful weather couldn't ask for any thing more
Great course layout.
Course well maintained with excellent pace of play. Very enjoyable.
Not your typical desert course
Classic layout fun and challenging. Great to read the history of the course and homes during the round. Many hole have plages telling about famous Vegas stars and great golf moments.
Great Value
Love this course. Old Vegas now. Good conditions. Love the surrounding houses and scenery.
