Las Vegas golf courses: every course a visitor can play, side by side

Las Vegas golf courses open to visitors number 33 on our map of the valley and Boulder City, from Bali Hai and Wynn Golf Club on the Strip to Cascata in Boulder City and the three Paiute courses up US-95. Two are restricted: Shadow Creek needs an MGM Resorts room and Wynn is built for Wynn and Encore guests. Another 11 clubs are private.

This guide puts every Las Vegas golf course you can book in one place, area by area, then marks the private clubs, the guest-only routes and what has closed. Drive times are free-flow estimates from the Strip at Flamingo Rd. Fees were seen between April and November 2026, mostly on GolfNow or third-party trackers, and they change by date.

Las Vegas golf courses near the Strip

These are the Las Vegas golf courses you can reach in about 15 minutes from a Strip hotel.

Wynn Golf Club is the only course on the Strip, a 2019 Tom Fazio redesign behind the hotel with a mandatory caddie. Bali Hai is a flat South Seas-themed public course beside Mandalay Bay with no hotel restriction. Las Vegas National is tree-lined parkland east of the Strip. Las Vegas Golf Club, from 1938, is the oldest course in the valley and city-owned. The Club at Sunrise is the old Desert Rose, rebuilt by the county in 2016, and the North Las Vegas Golf Course is a lit par-3 nine. More detail in golf near the Las Vegas Strip.

Henderson and Boulder City

The headliners are Cascata, a Rees Jones canyon course with a forecaddie in the fee, and Serket, the renamed Rio Secco, also by Rees Jones. Reflection Bay is the Nicklaus course on Lake Las Vegas. The Revere Lexington and Revere Concord give you 36 holes in Anthem. The value rounds are The Legacy, Wildhorse, Chimera and the Desert Willow executive course. In Boulder City, Boulder Creek has three nines and Boulder City Golf Course is the municipal course. See Henderson golf courses for the Henderson side.

Summerlin and the west side

TPC Las Vegas is the best-known public course on this side, a Bobby Weed canyon layout from 1996. Angel Park Mountain and Angel Park Palm are Arnold Palmer designs with the lit Cloud Nine short course. The Arroyo at Red Rock is the public course at Red Rock Country Club. Siena skips the traditional September overseed. The three Golf Summerlin courses, Highland Falls, Palm Valley and Eagle Crest, sit inside Sun City Summerlin and are open to the public. Rhodes Ranch is a southwest community course. See Summerlin golf courses.

North Las Vegas and the Paiute courses

Shadow Creek is a 1989 Tom Fazio course, pine-framed parkland with streams and waterfalls built on flat desert. Painted Desert, a 1987 Jay Morrish course, was the city's first desert-style layout. Durango Hills is a par-58 executive course and Aliante a Gary Panks course of over 7,000 yards. Up US-95, the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort has three Pete Dye courses: Snow Mountain, Sun Mountain and Wolf, the hardest at 76.3/149 from 7,604 yards. See north Las Vegas golf.

Guest-only and resort courses

Two Las Vegas golf courses depend on where you sleep, and both sit close to the Strip.

• Shadow Creek: only for guests at an MGM Resorts Las Vegas hotel. GolfNewsNet named MGM Grand, Bellagio, New York-New York, Aria and Park MGM among them in 2026. You book through the hotel concierge or casino host once you hold a reservation. Several 2026 guides say paying guests are mostly placed Monday to Thursday, which MGM has not confirmed. Read the Shadow Creek golf guide and the Shadow Creek course guide.
• Wynn Golf Club: built and priced for Wynn and Encore guests, who get booking priority. The Wynn site says non-guests can play, but confirm it for your dates with the golf concierge. See the Wynn Golf Club course guide.

Private clubs visitors cannot book

These clubs are for members and their guests, with no public, hotel or rental route in our research:

• TPC Summerlin, the PGA Tour's private club in Summerlin
• Southern Highlands, in a gated community south of the Strip
• Spanish Trail, a gated 27-hole club in Spring Valley
• The Summit Club, for homeowners in The Summit and their guests
• Las Vegas Country Club, 9 minutes east of the Strip
• Red Rock Country Club Mountain Course, members only
• Anthem Country Club, an Invited club; buying a home behind the gate does not include membership
• Dragon Ridge in MacDonald Highlands
• SouthShore at Lake Las Vegas

Canyon Gate is also an Invited club, so members of other Invited clubs may have reciprocal or travel privileges. Sunrise Vista at Nellis Air Force Base is for active duty, retirees, Defense Department civilians and their sponsored guests, with base access required.

Closed and status-unclear courses

Desert Pines closed for good on July 12, 2026, and the city is redeveloping the site for housing. Badlands (2016), Royal Links (2021), Silverstone (2015), Craig Ranch (2009), Black Mountain and both Primm Valley courses (2024) are closed too. Bear's Best is being rebuilt as the private Amara Golf and Social Club; status unclear, call first. Stallion Mountain in the east valley is listed on booking sites, but a directory says tee times are for members and guests, so its status is unclear: call first. The full story is in closed golf courses in Las Vegas.

How to choose between Las Vegas golf courses

• One big round: Shadow Creek if you are in an MGM hotel and can spend $1,250; Cascata or Wynn if not.
• Best value with a name: Serket, TPC Las Vegas in the afternoon, or the Paiute Wolf.
• No rental car: Bali Hai, Wynn and Las Vegas National are all 10 minutes or less from the Strip.
• Fall trips: check each course's overseed dates; Chimera reopened September 24 in 2026 and Golf Summerlin on September 29.
