About Las Vegas Country Club
Las Vegas Country Club is a private, central-valley club with a classic parkland design - wide fairways, abundant turf, and water hazards - in a market dominated by desert-target golf. The 18-hole layout plays 7,164 yards to a par 72 (72.8 rating / 128 slope).
History
Las Vegas Country Club — History
Las Vegas Country Club opened in 1967, designed by Edmund B. Ault, and was for decades the social and golfing center of the city. The course was later enhanced by Ron Garl (1981) and Mark Rathert (2009).
Design
Las Vegas Country Club — Design
Edmund Ault's 1967 routing is pure parkland -- tree-lined, grassed, and water-defended -- a deliberate contrast to the desert style that came to define Las Vegas golf.

The Round
The Journey at Las Vegas Country Club
I.
The Opening
The 445-yard 1st, the No. 3 handicap, opens between mature trees with the Las Vegas skyline beyond, and the club's own course tour stresses a well-placed drive to set up the angle into the green. The 3rd is the first par 3. The 5th, the No. 1 handicap, is the longest par 4 on the front nine, and the 6th is the first par 5, with water and bunkers around the green that make the second shot a real decision.
II.
The Middle
The 7th is the shortest par 3 on the course and the 8th a long par 4 ranked No. 7. The club makes a point of its back-to-back par 5s at the 9th and 10th; at the 9th the second shot is the decision, press toward the green or lay up for the approach, and the hole brings the round back to the clubhouse at the turn. The 11th, a par 4 ranked No. 6, and the 12th, the easiest hole on the card, follow.
III.
The Finish
The 13th is the No. 2 handicap and the 14th the third par 3. The 15th, rated No. 4, and the 16th, the longest par 4 on the back nine, lead into the 17th, which the club calls one of its signature holes: a par 3 over water where wind can change the club selection late in the round. The 18th, a par 5, plays home toward the clubhouse.
How to Play It
Las Vegas Country Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
This is parkland golf, with grass, trees and lakes rather than desert carries, and the current card runs down to a Bronze set of about 5,500 yards. Keep the ball on the tree-lined fairways and treat the par-5 6th as a three-shot hole that stays short of the water and bunkers around its green. At the 17th, take enough club to carry the water and ignore the flag.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Position beats length here. The club's tour asks for a placed tee shot on the 1st to open the green, and the same logic applies on the No. 1-handicap 5th and the 13th, ranked No. 2. The back-to-back par 5s at the 9th and 10th are the scoring stretch; at the 9th, lay back to a full-swing yardage rather than pressing a long second toward the green.
Advanced / Low Handicap
From the Black tees the current card runs past 7,200 yards, and two par 4s, the 5th and 16th, play over 450. The 6th is the risk-reward par 5: go for the green in two only from the fairway, since water and bunkers surround it. The 17th, the longest par 3 on the course, carries water late in the round, and the club notes that wind can change the calculation.
