More and more people who enjoy the game are finding out what the Las Vegas golf community has to offer. With dozens of facilities tucked here and there in and around the city, beginners and pros alike know that the city is more than neon lights and slot machines.

Amenities and fees are sky high for some of the more opulent choices. Keeping a course alive and well in the harsh desert climate is no easy feat. For the most part, golfers get what they pay for with those steep green fees. Exclusivity, privacy and some of the most beautiful landscaping found anywhere around the world.

Among the most opulent facilities is Shadow Creek. Architect Tom Fazio brought this beauty to life, coaxing it from the harsh desert surroundings that you barely know are there. Bubbling creeks, towering waterfalls and a lush verdant landscape stand in sharp contrast against the rugged mountain backdrop. Its worldwide reputation as a first class facility makes it a favorite for all who can afford to play there.

Jack Nicklaus fans will not want to miss the chance to play a round at Bear's Best. The legendary duffer has gathered together his best designs from courses all over the world and combined them into one super course that is a favorite for many. Each hole is a masterpiece in and of itself and together they provide a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else.

Reflection Bay, Paiute and Cascata are some other options for the golfer with an unlimited budget. Those looking for cheaper fees can take a look at Palms, Angel Park and Durango Hills.

Most of these courses can be found within easy driving distance from the famous Strip and all it has to offer like fine dining establishments, luxury accommodations and entertainment of all kinds.


Shadow Creek Las Vegas golf course is probably the most popular one. In fact you can see many prestigious people like Ramon Desage, entrepreneur/philanthropist, playing often in this particular facility.
