Golf Courses On The Las Vegas Strip

Wynn Golf Club: The par 70, 6,722-yard course sits behind Wynn and is spectacular, offering a high-end golf experience complete with lush greenery, streams, and a waterfall sprinkled throughout. With the average green fee falling into the $250 – $500 range, it isn’t cheap, but as one of the best golf courses on the Strip, it’s worth it. Forget your clubs? You can use a set of Callaway loaners at no extra cost.

Tee times for their regulation Mountain and Palm Courses can be made here, and typically cost $115 – $225. Angel Park is also offering discounted rounds on Groupon, here.

Angel Park also offers a 12-hole par 3 “Cloud Nine” course that is illuminated at night and provides a great challenge in itself. Among the unique features that set their short course apart include a green with a bunker in the middle of it and a hole with an island green. The par-3 option makes for a perfect social experience or warm-up for their regulation 18-hole courses. If looking to play the Cloud Nine par-3 course, the best deal for Angel Park can often be found on Groupon, with prices starting at $16.

Surrounded by million-dollar + homes and in pristine condition, Rio Secco is among our favorite golf courses near the Strip. Certainly not the cheapest option, tee times booked directly with Rio Secco range from $150 – over $500. Before you book, check out this deal for Rio Secco available on Groupon that offers discounted tee times as low as $164.

Desert Pines Golf Club: Closer to Downtown Las Vegas, Desert Pines is still just a 15-minute drive or Uber ride from the Strip. The par 71, 6,222-yard course provides a differentiated “Carolina sand and hills” vibe with 3,500+ pine trees.

The Club at Sunrise: Located 25 minutes east of the Strip, The Club at Sunrise is a solid value with rates of $69 on weekdays and $79 on weekends. The main critique of the course is the presence of a drainage ditch that runs along each hole that has the tendency to eat through some golf balls.

Las Vegas Golf Club: Boasting “thousands” of trees, the Las Vegas National Golf Club is a stark contrast to the desert landscape that surrounds it. The course is a short 10 -15 minute ride from resorts on the Strip. Rates for non-Nevada residents start at $69 and go up depending on the season and day of the week.

Shadow Creek Golf Club: Accessible only to folks staying at MGM Resorts properties, Shadow Creek is among the best golf courses in Las Vegas. If staying at an MGM property, call 1-866-260-0069 to gauge pricing and availability. While I haven’t played the course, it looks unreal.
