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.

They are making sure everyone is safe

From the table set outside to check in, a person to every golf cart, carts disinfectanted, staggered tee timee, and Marshall's in the course. I was worried with everything going on but was dying to golf, had a wonderful day. Course was beautiful, staff was kind, and pace if play was perfect. Can't wait to go back!

Better than expected

Other reviews were less impressed and I’m sure the course was in better shape when the Pros played here. However, we had a great round, the staff was friendly and attentive, and pace of play was great. The location is super convenient. Historical markers are very entertaining to read. Big hitters are usually saved by the fences so losing balls is not a problem. I would definitely play here again.

Glad we played LV National

My son and I (both 90’s golfers) played LV National. Wonderful nostalgic course...very good shape.. really like seeing the 1960’s flat roof houses on the course although many of them are in disrepair...I would recommend especially for the money.

A throwback

Las Vegas National is as old school as it gets. It's a classic layout surrounded by vintage homes. There's nothing flashy about the layout, but it's got plenty of good holes and no bad ones.

The back nine gets more interesting with some shorter, birdie-friendly holes.

Inside the clubhouse is the Las Vegas Hall of Fame. Be sure to spend five minutes looking around. It's worth your time to soak up the history and memorabilia.
