Las Vegas National Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Not your typical desert course
Classic layout fun and challenging. Great to read the history of the course and homes during the round. Many hole have plages telling about famous Vegas stars and great golf moments.
A MUST PLAY
A historical place in many ways! On every hole, there are signs describing 'old las vegas' when the rat pack played here. Famous homes/people... and Tiger Woods scores when he played this course on his way to his first victory in 1996.
I'm a local and love coming here! The more I play it, the more I fall in love with it. Classic old school - tree lined fairways in great shape. Greens were fair/ slow today. Bunkers appropriately maintained.
If you have played here, you need to put it on your list.
Great tone back
Love how welcomed we were made to feel. Old Vegas and old time customer service.
Still one of the best...
National is always a good test of golf, Trees, Water and Rough this time around. I do miss the golf boards!!!
Nice course
Nice course with an interesting layout. Enjoyable to be able to get out during these challenging times. Staff was very professional and extremely friendly. Pace of play was average.
Better than expected
Other reviews were less impressed and I’m sure the course was in better shape when the Pros played here. However, we had a great round, the staff was friendly and attentive, and pace of play was great. The location is super convenient. Historical markers are very entertaining to read. Big hitters are usually saved by the fences so losing balls is not a problem. I would definitely play here again.
Nice fairways
Course overall was in good shape. Greens were dry and hard. Lots of debris from winds all over course and greens.
Glad we played LV National
My son and I (both 90’s golfers) played LV National. Wonderful nostalgic course...very good shape.. really like seeing the 1960’s flat roof houses on the course although many of them are in disrepair...I would recommend especially for the money.
Meh
This isn’t a particularly difficult course for the average player but the tee boxes and greens were trash and the course was too wet for no rain out here in months.
Love it!
Really enjoy playing this course... It’s well kept and the staff is pretty friendly.... The bunkers are the only thing eye have an issue with... They need more sand imo but other than that it’s a great course...
Fairways and greens!
Nice gem
Great course , great shape. Only thing..clean the rivers on course, should not have trash in them. Too much.
