After a bad day at the casinos you can relax at the Las Vegas Golf Club. At just $100/person you can enjoy playing on one of Golf Digest’s ”Best Places to Play, 2008-09.

Have a great day at the casinos? Get over to the Rio Secco Golf Club! For $175-275/person you get to play on one of Nevada’s top golf courses, as voted by two separate organizations.

When you would rather walk to your golf course than drive, Bali Hai Golf Course is for you. The price is high, but so is the view.

Maybe you came for the desert to try something new, something not done before. Why not a desert course? The Painted Desert Golf Club is the first desert course in Las Vegas.

The course also features some quite a few lakes and, obviously, sand bunkers.
For great view of the city head to TPC Las Vegas. This runner-up golf course is often referred to as ”desert elegance”. It was designed by Bobby Weed and Raymond Floyd and is an honor to their memory. Mountains, canyons, and the Las Vegas skyline makes the views stunning - especially at twilight.
