The best golf courses in Las Vegas that visitors can actually play

The best golf courses in Las Vegas for a visitor are Shadow Creek if you are staying at an MGM Resorts hotel, Cascata for the biggest public round, then Wynn Golf Club, TPC Las Vegas and the Paiute Wolf. Below them, Serket, Reflection Bay, Bali Hai, the Arroyo and Siena each earn a place for a different reason.

This list of the best golf courses in Las Vegas ranks only courses a visitor can get onto, and it weighs price as much as reputation. Private clubs such as TPC Summerlin and Southern Highlands are left out because visitors cannot book them. Fees were seen in 2026 and come mostly from third-party sources, so treat them as a guide and check the course.

The best golf courses in Las Vegas at a glance

1. Shadow Creek

Shadow Creek is the round people fly in for: Tom Fazio's 1989 design with Steve Wynn, built on flat desert in North Las Vegas but planted so you see pines, streams, lakes and waterfalls rather than houses or sand. The 2026 fee is $1,250 per player, with a round-trip limousine from your hotel and a personal concierge. GolfNewsNet says the caddie fee and gratuity are extra; other guides say a caddie is included, so confirm.

The catch is access. You must hold a room at an MGM Resorts Las Vegas hotel, and several 2026 guides say paying guests are mostly placed Monday to Thursday. Read the Shadow Creek golf guide.

2. Cascata

Cascata is a Rees Jones course cut into the River Mountains above Boulder City in 2000, with big elevation changes and a waterfall running through the clubhouse. It is public. The green fee includes a cart, practice and one forecaddie per group, with a suggested tip of $40 per player. The club does not show amounts online; a third-party guide estimates about $399 at peak and $295 off-season. Its Double Down package (one round here and one at Serket within five days) started at $525 in summer and $750 in fall. See the Cascata course guide.

3. Wynn Golf Club

Wynn Golf Club is the only course on the Strip: a Fazio redesign that reopened in October 2019 behind Wynn and Encore. A mandatory caddie, on-course food and soft drinks and Callaway rental clubs come with the fee, reported at $450 to $1,000 and peaking around the holidays and Grand Prix week. Wynn and Encore guests get booking priority. More in the Wynn Golf Club guide.

4. TPC Las Vegas

TPC Las Vegas is the best-known public course in Summerlin, a 1996 Bobby Weed desert design along a canyon wash with forced carries and Strip views. Green Fee Tracker put it at about $175 weekday and $195 weekend before noon in 2026, with afternoon rounds about $100 and $120. That afternoon rate is one of the better buys in town. See the TPC Las Vegas course guide.

5. Paiute Wolf

The Wolf course at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort is a 2001 Pete Dye design under the Spring Mountains, with pot bunkers and railroad ties. At 7,604 yards and 76.3/149 it is the longest and hardest of the three Paiute courses. The only fee in our files is an undated $109 listing, so check the resort's booking site. Clark County residents book seven days out at resident rates. The Snow Mountain course is the friendlier option for mixed groups.

6. Serket (formerly Rio Secco)

Serket is the 1997 Rees Jones course in Henderson's Seven Hills, renamed from Rio Secco in 2025 and managed by Cabot. It plays in three parts: six holes through canyons, six on a plateau with Strip views and six in the desert foothills. A third-party listing put peak rates at $119 to $259 with a shared cart, undated. Caesars Rewards members get tier discounts here and at Cascata. Detail in Henderson golf courses.

7. Reflection Bay

Reflection Bay is a 1998 Jack Nicklaus course on Lake Las Vegas, with five holes along the shore. It is public, and it rates 75.6/150 from the Gold tees at 7,261 yards, with Silver at 5,891 yards for mixed groups. The fairways moved to paspalum and are no longer overseeded, so expect firm, tan fairways in winter. Rates show only in the booking engine.

8. Bali Hai

Bali Hai is on the Strip beside Mandalay Bay: flat, South Seas-themed, with palms, water and an island green. The club's own posts give peak rates of $150 to $300, with off-peak lows in the high $80s, and GolfNow sold an August 10, 2026 time for $104.99 with cart. It is the convenience pick. See the Bali Hai golf guide.

9. Arroyo at Red Rock

The Arroyo is the public course at Red Rock Country Club, an Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design from 2003 under Red Rock Canyon. Green Fee Tracker listed $145 in April 2026; other listings run from $45 to $220. It is a good mid-priced Summerlin round.

10. Siena

Siena is a 2000 Brian Curley and Lee Schmidt course in a 55+ community in Summerlin South, open for public tee times. It does not do a traditional September overseed, so it is a good September pick. Rates seen: $189 peak (where2golf) and $225.99 on GolfNow for September 25, 2026.
