Golf Courses

I've been to vegas many many times. Never played golf out there. This July I'll be heading out there again. Wanted to play a round of golf and would like some recommendations and experiences any of you might have. I usually stay at the palazzo or Cosmo maybe that might help. Thanks in advance.

If you want to take an hour drive north.  Wolf Creek is by far the best course.

Played everywhere there is to golf in Vegas and couldn't disagree more with above poster. 

I have played a fair amount in Vegas and agree with refer.

Pauite Wolf and Coyote Springs were good courses and good value.

I wouldn't play Bali Hai for 1/2 of what they rip you off for. Badlands was in terrible shape the one time I played there but I thought it was an interesting track but overpriced.

Revere is the better course at Lexington.

Bear's Best was OK and a bit disappointing frankly.

Wolf Creek is spectacular as far as visual effects but I wasn't overly impressed as a golf course but it is a must play one time but I wouldn't go back. Pace of play can be an issue there too.

Last trip I played Spanish Trail and thought it had good value for the price I paid on Golf Now and is close to the Strip.

Been to Vegas dozen times and this year we decided to book a golf package. Looking at the Aria's golf package. Something like $600 for 3 nights and 18 rounds of golf a day. Any info on golfing out there would be great.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm excited now!

At Paiute which course is the better of the 3.

TOO DARN HOT IN JULY FOR GOLF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Golf in July in Vegas

Just keep in mind that if you want to play at one of the courses at the big resorts, it is going to cost you as much as Pebble Beach.

Thanks Refer You've been a tremendous help! Appreciate all the insights.

Haven't played golf in Vegas in a few years, but I heard that Lake Las Vegas closed down.  Is that true?  WTF?  That was a great track.

I played Primm years ago, it was quite a nice course but it seemed to be quite a haul to get out there from Vegas..

I love TPC Canyons, awesome track!

Thanks Jaybiz,

hey Jaybiz im leaving tommorrow for vegas, just wondering your recommendation for a golf course. Cheap($100) bringing the wives along, and no they dont really golf but want to come and swing some clubs and drink lol..anything close by..it doesnt have to be 5 star..thanks, coming all the way from Toronto

I'd check out desert pines or Las Vegas national. Have to disagree with the guy who said to avoid all Walters courses- DP has very nice bent greens, plush fairways, fairly close to downtown and $69-$150 rates depending on time of day. I really like national as far as layout - they had tour events there in 90s- conditions went downhill in recent years, but it's still a pretty cool track- played a few months ago and was decent. Funky old 70s 80s Vegas neighborhood around it, the house from Casino, etc.
