Just minutes from the glitz and glam of the Strip, escape to a serene setting where lush fairways and manicured greens await. In Las Vegas, incredible golf courses are just par for the course.
Palm trees and crystal-clear ponds punctuate the lush course of Bali Hai Golf Club, named for the legendary island in the South Pacific. Once you step onto the meticulously maintained grounds, you’re transported to an extraordinary golfer’s paradise, complete with volcanic rock outcroppings and white sand—even though it’s just on the south end of the Strip.
The Jack Nicklaus-designed course at Reflection Bay Golf Club has something for golfers of all abilities. Nestled along the shores of Lake Las Vegas (30 minutes east of the Strip), the greens have a reputation for being some of the fastest, yet truest, in the valley. Stay nearby at the newly remodeled Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa for upscale lodging and dining.
Minutes from the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, the public Arroyo Golf Club at Red Rock (30 minutes west of the Strip) offers a stunning desert golf experience combined with country club service and amenities, including a clubhouse, full-service shop and onsite bar and grill. You’ll encounter spectacular vistas of rugged, natural terrain while golfing this Arnold Palmer-designed course. Make a weekend of it and stay at the spectacular Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa, just across I-215.
Caesars Entertainment Total Rewards customers receive special rates at Rio Secco Golf Club (25 minutes southeast of the Strip), where they can play the Rees Jones-designed course routed through canyons, desert washes and plateaus. Players looking to improve their game won't want to miss gleaning valuable insight from Butch Harmon, Golf Digest's #1 instructor, who teaches at the Butch Harmon School of Golf at Rio Secco Golf Club.
Possibly one of the most exclusive courses in Las Vegas, Shadow Creek is accessible to guests of MGM Resorts International properties, and it boasts a clubhouse frequented by former presidents, sports legends and movie stars. Play the 18-hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio while taking in breathtaking views of the pristine greens and surrounding mountains.
