Las Vegas National Golf Course
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.

Residency
Well I wanted to play this course, but they thought I wasn’t being truthful about my residency. Recently transferred from CA and don’t have anything other than my purchase contract for my primary residence and they wouldn’t take that. I mean come on, I’m a single trying to play - use some common sense here.
Thanks for leaving us a review!
Thanks for leaving us a review, Quinn! We hope you'll come see us again soon.
A Local Gem.
Always come here to play during my visit. Great golf course and in outstanding condition. Only small small complaint is the greens were slow today. No big deal though. Great day of golf here. Highly highly recommend this place for all levels.
We appreciate the recommendation, Callaway. We hope to see you again soon!
Thanks for leaving us a review, we hope to see you again soon!
Great round!
Great facilities, and course. Very leisurely pace but great place to play. A hidden gem of the desert.
Thanks for leaving us a review, Chris. We're glad you enjoyed your time at LVN, and we hope to see you again soon!
Strong Layout
The course played very nice to the 136 slope. Greens were challenging with lite undulations. Price and service were superb. I’m have an 11 index and was able to pull in an 86 for my first (but not last) Las Vegas National appearance. HIT’EM LONG!!
And an excellent first appearance it was, congrats on the great round! Thanks for the review, Bennett. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great course
I’ve almost fallen in love with this course and layout. It’s been in great shape the last 2 times. Great for the $$$ only thing is couldn't enjoy a beer while we looked over our cards. Finished round 4:30 but besides that had a great time staff was awesome as usual. Would recommend.
We appreciate the recommendation, we're glad you enjoyed your time at Las Vegas National. We hope to see you again soon!
Thanks for the 5-star review!
Great gold layout
This is a players course. You have to hit a variety of shots. I used every club in my bag. Great layout, one of the best tests of gold skill in town.
Thanks for the stellar review, we're glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Las Vegas National!
Friendly
Overall the course was very good, staff were friendly, course condition was good. It's a lot more challenging then it appears. My only negative is the pace of play. No enforcement by the Marshalls.
Pace of play is a top priority, so we're sorry to hear that you ran into issues on the course. Glad to hear you enjoyed your round, be sure to book another soon!
Nice course
Well worth the play. Course was in great shape for winter conditions. Greens were well maintained and pace was outstanding thanks to having a Host on the course. Staff was courteous, helpful and professional. Highly recommend this course.
Beat up
Greens were ok. Tees and fairways were pretty beat up. Definitely a municipal type course. If you get a good deal, then it’s fine.
Very nice course
Staff was great and ensure all golfers got off at their scheduled Tee Times. Course is in great shape and pace of play was well within expected time. Enjoyed the round and highly recommend this course.
Bad tee off delay
It's a beautiful course. This is is my 3rd time playing here, but today I teed off at 12pm. I arrived at around 11am and got a small bucket of balls since I wanted to chip and putt as well. When i checked in at the front desk it seemed all normal. But when when I got to the starter at 11:50 he said there would be a 1 hour delay due to frost, why couldn't the person at the front desk tell me that? When I talked to Leo, the director of golf. He made me feel like it was my fault and that I have options of playing at other courses. Hmmm, maybe he doesn't appreciate his customers?
Awesome course
Overall, a very nice course. The staff is friendly and courteous and the course was immaculate. Pace of play was outstanding. Host on the course was very helpful. No delays and as a foursome, we completed 18 in under 4 hours. Hats off to this course because it's one of the best I've played in the Valley.
Great experience
I with my friend had a great time over there.
Everything was good except some traffic ahead.
Some ladies had used manual cart instead electric cart that caused traffic as time goes.
We apologize for any inconvenience our proof of residency rule caused. We hope you will decide to give us another try in the future.
