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.

Great Course very close to the Strip

Course was in great condition, greens rolled well, fairways were watered well. Pace of play was good, nice layout need to play target golf on a bunch. Staff was very friendly, good value for the money, temps were good for November 59 and sunny with some breeze. Enjoyed the signs on the tees giving a history of the course and houses adjacent to tees and greens. Overall very solid course at a good price.

Great layout

Great layout, fun course. Perfect location next to the strip where we were staying. Course conditions a bit off but overall not bad. Would gladly come back if we got the same rate. Not worth the max rate but for a discount yes for sure.

Sneakily Challenging

Looks like an easier layout but ball placement is important to score well. Sneaky hazards you don't know about playing it for the first time. Always like to play courses that the Pro Tours have played. Liked the history of the course and houses in the areas that were posted at some tee boxes.

This is our third round here over the last few months and they never disappoint. Course just reopened and is perfect other than waiting another cut. Prime.

Nice Course

We played there and the course was very. nice. It was a fairly hot day, but luckily the pace of play was quick. We unfortunately were there on the last day of cart path only so we had to walk out to our ball on a very hot day.

The course is very well taken care of and it was awesome reading about the history of the course every hole..This place is definitely a land mark. Go play it, you won't regret it. Keep in mind its a very long course.

Great course for the price

Played here the first time today . Course was a great price at $35 . Played by myself from the very back markets and have to say the course was in great shape after reseeding . Only thing was the greens were very slow . Really enjoyed the layout and some great par fives and par threes . Will definitely be going back in a couple of weeks for another round

Course under maintenance

It turned out that the course had just seeded. This lead to cart path only golf on a very sunny day to maintain the grass which added a bit to the playing time. Also it seemed that the mowing of the course was postponed possibly to let the new seeding grow, the greens were thicker than I have ever seen a golf course have in 35 years of golf. It was putting on a rug.

Overseed nightmare

My wife and I paid 45.00 to play an 8:30 am round, not bad. However, the course was extremely wet with grass clippings everywhere and the greens were extremely long also. Save your money and wait until after they start mowing again. I usually like the course conditions, but not right now.

Nice Course

It's been 22 years since I've played Las Vegas National. Some of the fairways were a little dried out. The group in front of us was playing very slowly so that slowed us up a bit. I like all of the historical information signs on the course; it reminds me of how Vegas used to be. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
