Las Vegas golf in October and November: fall peak, fresh rye and F1 week

Las Vegas golf in October and November is fall-peak golf: highs drop from about 81F to 67F, courses come back on fresh rye after the September overseed, and the weather is dry. It is also when top green fees return, sunsets come early after November 1, and SEMA and the F1 Grand Prix push up Strip room rates.

This guide covers which courses reopened from overseed and when in 2026, the fall green fees seen, and how to plan around race week. Prices were seen in October and November 2026 and change.

Quick facts

• Weather: October 81.2F / 59.6F, November 67.1F / 47.3F, both nearly dry.
• Overseed: most 2026 closures ended between September 4 and October 3.
• Fees: fall peak from about mid-October.
• Daylight: clocks back November 1, 2026; sunset about 4:33pm by mid-November.
• Events: SEMA (November 3-6, 2026), F1 Grand Prix (November 19-21, 2026), Thanksgiving (November 26).

Las Vegas golf in October and November: the weather

NOAA 1991-2020 normals at Harry Reid airport; sunsets computed for 2027. Early October can still have a hot day or two, and late November mornings start to feel like winter on the higher Summerlin and Anthem courses. See Las Vegas weather by month.

Which courses reopened when

The 2026 overseed ran earlier than the mid-September to late-October window often quoted. These are the dates our research found:

Most other courses did not publish 2026 dates. After any reopening, expect 10-14 days of cart path only and slower or temporary greens while the rye grows in. By mid-October, every course in the table was back. Our Las Vegas golf overseed guide lists the rest.

Fall green fees seen in 2026

Compare the summer side: the Legacy was $24.99 in August and Wildhorse from about $29.99, so the same course can cost about double or more in October. The Double Down was from $525 in summer. Cascata's own fee is dynamic; a third-party 2026 guide estimates about $399 at peak, unverified. See the Cascata course guide and the Serket course guide.

October: fresh rye and the start of the peak

October is the month the valley turns green again. Highs are about 81F, rain is rare, and courses that were in overseed grow-in through early October are firm and full by the second half. Top green fees return from about mid-October; do not assume early October is cheaper, as the Revere's overseed-alert dates (September 22 to October 2) sold at $89.99-$156.99, no lower than its October range.

October also has long enough days for 36 holes: sunset is about 6:05pm mid-month while daylight saving lasts. A morning 18 at one of the Revere courses and an afternoon at the other makes an easy fall 36 in Henderson.

November: the best weather and the busiest calendar

November is about 67F by day with cool, dry mornings, and is one of the best golf months of the year. Plan for three things:

• Short days. Clocks go back November 1, 2026. Sunset is about 4:33pm by mid-month, and Desert Willow closes at 4pm from November 1 to January 10, 2027.
• SEMA, November 3-6. High Strip rates and busy restaurants near the Convention Center and Venetian.
• F1 week, November 19-21. A race-week room spike and road closures on and around the Strip; Koval Lane, Harmon Avenue and Sands Avenue have been disrupted for weeks in past years.

Thanksgiving is November 26, 2026, a busy weekend at fall-peak fees. Reflection Bay listed an 8:30am Thanksgiving Day shotgun.

Playing golf in Grand Prix week

The courses do not close for F1, but getting around the Strip does get harder. Three ways to handle it:

1. Base off the Strip. Golf groups often stay in Henderson or Summerlin that week; see where to stay in Las Vegas for golf.
2. Play courses away from the circuit. The Henderson courses (the Revere 26 minutes from the Strip, Serket 23) and the Summerlin courses sit well away from it.
3. Skip Wynn that week if price matters; its fee tracks hotel demand.

Our Las Vegas events calendar for golf has the 2026-27 event dates that move room rates.

Booking fall tee times for a group

Fall is when tee sheets are busiest, so the small print matters more than usual:

• The Revere: prepay online for 10% off. Cancel 72 hours ahead to avoid a fee, and if under 75% of a booked group shows up, 50% of the green fee may be charged. Separate booking tracks exist for the public, Clark County residents and Sun City Anthem residents.
• Reflection Bay: cancel 48 hours ahead or the card is charged. Clark County residents with a Nevada licence or Seasonal Resident ID book 7 days out at resident rates; the visitor window is not stated.
• Las Vegas Paiute: 48-hour cancellation. The resort announced a fall maintenance schedule without dates, so confirm all three courses are in full play before booking a fall 36.
• Cascata: the fee includes a cart, practice before the round and a forecaddie; the suggested forecaddie tip is $40 a player, and a $199 replay is sold on standby only.

Few Las Vegas courses publish their booking window for visitors. If your group has fixed fall dates, book as soon as each course's online tee sheet shows them, and check the Las Vegas tee times guide for the systems each course uses.

Fall versus spring

Las Vegas has two peaks, and they are close. Spring (March to May) runs 71F to 89F with long evenings after daylight saving starts; fall runs 81F to 67F with short November days. Both bring top green fees. Fall has the fresher turf, just after overseed, while late spring sees the rye thinning as the bermuda wakes up in May and June. Spring has NAB and the March Madness weekend to plan around; fall has SEMA, F1 and Thanksgiving.

Who fall suits

• Buddies trips: mid-October to mid-November, Sunday to Thursday, outside SEMA and F1.
• Couples: late October, with warm afternoons and long-enough evenings.
• Snowbirds: arriving in November means fresh rye and the start of the cooler, cheaper months; see Las Vegas winter golf for snowbirds.
