Best Golf Courses In Las Vegas

Las Vegas is famous for many things, among them golf. It has been a regular venue for the PGA Tour ever since 1983. The Panasonic Las Vegas Pro Celebrity Classic debuted that season, and had the highest purse of any Tour event at $750,000 (the next largest at that time was the Tournament Players Championship at $700,000). Golfing history has been made here in other ways too, whether it is a FBI surveillance plane making an emergency landing on one of the courses, a deliberately false yardage, or a 20-year-old Tiger Woods winning for the first time on Tour. For these and other tales, and for all the key info on the best golf courses in Las Vegas read on.

The course has 100,000 Balinese tropical plants growing on it – not that we have counted them – and the seven-acres of water features includes the water that encloses most of the par-3 15th green. Players may wish is was a true island green, as the landlocked part includes a restaurant terrace, giving players, at certain times, an audience that they may or may not wish depending on how they have tackled this hole.
