Las Vegas locals and visitors alike enjoy some of the top golf courses in the nation, all located in the glamour oasis of the Southwest.  A number of these courses exist unto themselves but many, like nightclubs, pools and spas, are housed among the most luxurious hotels and casinos, both on and off the Strip.  And of course, the price tag matches the setting. 

Las Vegas golf course prices range from the nearly reasonable to the only-Donald-Trumps-need-apply fees.  Knowing that some of the best designers in the world put these greens together takes away a little of the sticker-shock. 

But once you get to see the incredible green expanses and views beyond them, like those of the Red Rock Canyon and Las Vegas Valley, you’ll forget the price completely. 

In addition to being open year-round, the gorgeous landscapes and gardens of Vegas courses have gained them national rankings in Golf Digest.

Catering to all visitors of Sin City, there is a golf course for every man, woman and child, many with unique features found nowhere else in the country. 

Truly a city that never sleeps, Las Vegas is one of the few places to enjoy nighttime golfing.  This unique golf experience provides not only an escape from the summer heat but also yet another activity for the night owls that avoid roosting in the haven of Las Vegas. 

In order to reduce or eliminate waiting, some clubs offer more than one course.  Most clubs offer online booking in advance.  Game costs range from the $75 range to over $200.  Most Las Vegas golf courses are open to the general public, but there are more private options available, as well. Golf carts provide easy access to holes at courses in Vegas.
