About Bali Hai Golf Club
Bali Hai is desert golf reimagined as a tropical escape. More than 4,000 trees - over 2,500 of them palms - frame the fairways, punctuated by white-sand Augusta-style bunkers, black volcanic-rock outcrops, and roughly seven acres of water hazards and lagoons. At 7,002 yards, par 71 (73.0 rating / 130 slope), it plays as a genuine championship test while delivering one of the most photographed settings in Las Vegas golf - all without leaving the Strip.
History
Bali Hai Golf Club — History
Bali Hai Golf Club opened in 2000 on the Las Vegas Strip, on the land immediately south of Mandalay Bay. Designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design, the course was built around a South Pacific island theme -- its name borrowed from the mythical island of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical South Pacific.
Design
Bali Hai Golf Club — Design
Schmidt and Curley used dense tropical landscaping and water as the course's defining strategic and visual language. Lagoons and palm stands separate the holes into distinct, framed compositions, and the bold bright bunkering plays off the dark volcanic rock for dramatic contrast.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play Bali Hai Golf Club
Location is Bali Hai's signature: no other championship course sits on the Strip itself. It pairs a legitimate par-71 test with a resort-grade tropical setting, making it the default choice for visitors who want a real round of golf without leaving the resort corridor.
The Round
The Journey at Bali Hai Golf Club
I.
The Opening
Bali Hai opens with a 341-yard par 4 rated among the easiest holes on the card, then the 538-yard 2nd, the first of four par 5s. The 3rd, which the club calls Shipwreck, is a 468-yard par 4 with a creek down the right side and a bunker on the left, and it is the No. 3 handicap. The 324-yard 4th and 392-yard 5th lead to the 168-yard 6th, the first par 3.
II.
The Middle
The 550-yard 7th is the longest hole on the course, and the 482-yard 8th that follows is the No. 1 handicap. The 208-yard 9th closes a par-36 front nine. The back nine, par 35, opens with the 526-yard 10th and the 190-yard 11th, the easiest hole on the card, before the 440-yard 12th.
III.
The Finish
The 468-yard 13th, ranked No. 4, precedes the 250-yard 14th, the longest par 3, and the 546-yard 15th. The 141-yard 16th plays to an island green in full view of the Cili restaurant patio. Two long par 4s close the round: the 484-yard 17th and the 486-yard 18th, the No. 2 handicap.
How to Play It
Bali Hai Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Bali Hai is 7,002 yards from the back, but the forward sets play 6,156 and 5,535 yards; move up to one of them. Roughly seven acres of water and lagoons come into play, so carry extra balls. At the island-green 16th there is no bailout, so aim for the middle whatever the hole location and take your three or four.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The hardest holes on the card are long par 4s: the 3rd, 8th, 13th, 17th and 18th all measure 468 yards or more. Treat them as long approaches to the fat part of the green, and score on the par 5s, none longer than 550 yards. On the 3rd, a drive that drifts right finds the creek.
Advanced / Low Handicap
The four hardest holes by handicap, the 8th, 18th, 3rd and 13th, are all par 4s of 468 yards or more, so driving distance and long-iron control set the score. The par 5s, between 526 and 550 yards, are the birdie holes for long hitters, and the 250-yard 14th calls for a fairway wood or hybrid from the tips.
