Seeking Golf Course Recommendations Near the Las Vegas Strip

I’m planning a trip to Las Vegas and I would love to squeeze in some golf while I’m there. I want to make sure I can easily get to a course without straying too far from the Strip.

Here are a few things I’m looking for:

  • Location: Golf courses that are close to the Strip, ideally within a short drive.
  • Quality: I’ve heard mixed things, so if anyone has recently played at any courses, I’d appreciate your insights on the condition and general experience.
  • Pricing: What can I expect in terms of greens fees? Are there any deals or packages you recommend?
  • Amenities: If courses offer things like dining options, practice facilities, or pro shops, I’d love to know about those as well.

Recommended Courses to Check Out

Some of the options I’ve come across so far include:

  • Shadow Creek: Known for its beauty and layout, but I’ve heard it can be pricey.
  • The Wynn Golf Club: A newer course, but is it worth the splurge?
  • Desert Pines Golf Club: I think this one is closer to the Strip and has a good reputation.

Questions:

  1. Do any of these courses require reservations well in advance?
  2. Are there any hidden gems or lesser-known courses that you would recommend?
  3. What’s the best time of year to play in Vegas without dealing with the extreme heat?

Looking forward to your suggestions! Thanks in advance for your help!

In terms of difficulty, I’d say you should consider the Wynn Golf Club. It’s challenging, but the scenic views are breathtaking, making it worth the effort.

Afternoon deals sound interesting! Can you book those online, or do you need to call ahead?
