Golf in Vegas

Golf in Vegas

Guess what? You can play golf in Las Vegas all year long! Yes, the hot season for golf here is May through October, but if you don’t mind the summer heat go for it all year round! The golfers that we know who come here are surprised by the high green fees. Remember that courses that are affiliated with hotels cater to high rollers and perhaps many times these fees are comped and everyone else who plays has to pay the going rate. Of course, the only golf clubs listed here allow public access. When going golfing in LV remember to drink a lot of water during the day and bring a sweater or jacket for later in the day or if high winds come up. For your convenience we have listed the phone numbers and web addresses of the clubs because if you wish to play early in the morning on the weekend, it is recommended to make your tee time in advance. Listed fees are given in a range because fees differ on weekends, holidays, and season. Residents can play for less at some courses. Club rentals are often available. Call the course for details.
