The Course

About Las Vegas Golf Club

Las Vegas Golf Club represents the historical anchor of Las Vegas golf - a course that predates the modern resort-golf era and maintains the character of authentic golf club operations in the desert environment.

History

Las Vegas Golf Club — History

Las Vegas Golf Club is the oldest course in the valley, designed in 1938 by celebrated architect William P. Bell -- the same designer behind Torrey Pines and Riviera Country Club. Arcis Golf now operates the club, which says a complete renovation has left the course true to Bell's original vision.

Design

Las Vegas Golf Club — Design

Bell's classic-era routing predates Las Vegas' theatrical desert-golf movement, relying on mature cottonwoods and pines, doglegs and traditional bunkering rather than manufactured drama. The result is a strategic, walkable parkland-style layout where shot placement and angles matter more than forced carries.

The Round

The Journey at Las Vegas Golf Club

I.

The Opening

Las Vegas Golf Club starts with a 327-yard par 4 that the club calls drivable, then the 502-yard 2nd, the first of four short par 5s. The 3rd is only 100 yards, but the club singles it out as a demanding par 3 with water guarding the green. The 379-yard 4th is the No. 3 handicap, and the 189-yard 6th is the second par 3 of the opening stretch.

II.

The Middle

After the 379-yard 7th, the 439-yard 8th is the longest par 4 on the course and the No. 1 handicap. The 479-yard 9th, another short par 5, closes the front, and the 432-yard 10th, rated No. 4, opens the back. The 327-yard 11th and the 122-yard 12th, the easiest hole on the card, give the middle of the round its breathing room.

III.

The Finish

Two more short par 5s, the 456-yard 13th and the 464-yard 15th, sit either side of the 414-yard 14th, the No. 2 handicap. The 379-yard 16th leads to the 205-yard 17th, the longest par 3 on the course, and the round ends on a 403-yard par 4. Mature cottonwoods and pines line the fairways throughout, and the club counts 30 greenside bunkers.

How to Play It

Las Vegas Golf Club — Playing Strategy

Beginner / High Handicap

At 69.8/121, Bell's 1938 layout is one the club bills as among the most accessible in Las Vegas, and GolfPass lists a Family tee set of about 4,300 yards. With 30 greenside bunkers, the middle of each green is the safest target. On the 100-yard 3rd, take enough club to stay clear of the water instead of aiming at the flag.

Intermediate / Mid Handicap

All four par 5s are under 505 yards, so a solid lay-up and a wedge make birdie realistic. The club points to numerous doglegs lined by mature trees; a tee shot placed to the corner leaves a better angle than a driver over the trees. Save your concentration for the 8th, the No. 1 handicap at 439 yards.

Advanced / Low Handicap

Under 6,400 yards, the course rewards a player who converts short holes: the drivable 327-yard 1st, the 327-yard 11th and four par 5s under 505 yards. The club describes gently undulating green complexes, so wedge distance control is the scoring skill. The 8th and 14th, the two hardest holes by handicap, are the par 4s that protect par.
