If you’re planning to play in the summer, try to tee off early in the morning. The heat can be brutal in the afternoons, so early rounds are your best bet to stay cool and enjoy the day.
Absolutely! And don’t forget to hydrate! Bring your own water bottle because drinks on the course can be pricey.
For beginners, I recommend courses like Las Vegas National or Desert Pines. They offer a more forgiving layout while still providing beautiful scenery and a few challenges.

Great suggestions! Plus, these courses often have good deals during off-peak seasons. Keep an eye out for discounts!
If you’re an advanced player, look into courses like The Summit Club or TPC Summerlin. They have tougher layouts and can challenge even the best golfers. Just be prepared for the green fees!
Oh, I’ve heard wonderful things about Bali Hai! Was the pace of play decent? Sometimes busy tourist courses can be a headache.
I once played at The Bali Hai Golf Club, and it was a fantastic experience! The layout is beautiful and offers a different vibe than typical desert courses.
For local tips, always check the weather ahead of time. The winds can pick up suddenly, which can really affect your game. Experience the desert climate before hitting the links!
That’s a solid tip! Also, if you plan to rent clubs, make sure you reserve them when you book your tee time to avoid last-minute surprises.
I think the best time to visit is in spring or fall. The temperatures are milder, making for a more enjoyable round. Plus, it’s less crowded compared to the peak summer months.
Agreed! It’s beautiful then! I wish I could play every weekend in Vegas. Each course has its own unique charm.
Many people say that golf courses are just too pricey in Vegas, but if you plan wisely, you can find some decent deals. It all comes down to timing!
It’s true, but some courses certainly justify their green fees with the amenities. Still, it can be tough to pay those prices all the time! What’s the most you guys have paid for a round?
I’ll never forget playing at Shadow Creek and shelling out about $500! But the experience was worth every penny, so I guess you can justify spending more for something really special.
I’ve played a few of the top courses in Vegas, and each has its own charm. Shadow Creek is exclusive and pricey, but the experience is top-notch! Anyone else have thoughts on it?
Totally agree, yscott! I’ve also enjoyed TPC Summerlin. Great layout and it’s usually in amazing shape!
Price-wise, how does each course compare? I know courses like Cascata can be on the higher end, around $300. Is it worth it?

I’d say Cascata is worth it for the stunning views and unique design. The water features are breathtaking and really make the round special!
I find the accessibility of some courses, like Las Vegas Country Club, super appealing. It’s centrally located, and I love the history behind it!
Absolutely, brooke51! LVCC has such a storied past, but how does it stand up to newer courses like Bear’s Best?
