The Course

About TPC Las Vegas

TPC Las Vegas, formerly TPC Canyons, is the public TPC in Las Vegas -- a PGA TOUR course that anyone can book. Bobby Weed and World Golf Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd routed the par-71, 7,016-yard layout (73.9 / 146) through canyons, arroyos and barrancas with Red Rock Canyon as the backdrop, on bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens conditioned to TOUR standards. It is not TPC Summerlin, the private members' club a few miles away.

History

TPC Las Vegas — History

TPC Las Vegas opened in 1996 as TPC at The Canyons, designed by Bobby Weed with PGA TOUR champion Raymond Floyd as player-consultant. Weed, who learned the craft under Pete and Alice Dye and went on to serve as the TOUR's chief designer, routed the course through the dramatic canyon terrain northwest of the Strip. It shared the Senior PGA Tour's Las Vegas Senior Classic with TPC at Summerlin from 1997 to 1999 and was a host course of the PGA TOUR's Las Vegas event from 2000 to 2006.

Design

TPC Las Vegas — Design

Bobby Weed used the natural canyon topography as the course's defining feature -- elevation change, native desert washes crossing the lines of play, and green complexes that demand a precise approach. The course sits between 2,000 and 2,500 feet, so the ball carries a few extra yards, and putts tend to break away from the mountains toward the Strip.

What Sets It Apart

The Round

The Journey at TPC Las Vegas

I.

The Opening

TPC Las Vegas starts gently with the 355-yard 1st, rated 17th, and then turns serious. The 193-yard par-3 2nd has a ball-drop zone behind the green, and the 458-yard 3rd is the No. 1 handicap. The 541-yard 4th is the first par 5, and the 367-yard 5th is a short par 4 before the 595-yard 6th, the longest hole on the front nine.

II.

The Middle

The 203-yard par-3 7th and the 454-yard 8th, rated third-hardest, are the tough pair on the front before the 346-yard 9th closes a 3,512-yard, par-36 half. The club calls the par-35 back nine the trickier side. It starts with the 418-yard 10th and the 444-yard 11th, the No. 4 handicap, then the 173-yard 12th, rated easiest, which also has a drop zone behind its green.

III.

The Finish

The 437-yard 13th, called Death Valley, is the No. 2 handicap and the risk-reward hole the club points to. Members call the 347-yard 14th the steeple hole: the tee shot is blind, aimed at a distant church steeple, with a large ridge running toward it. Then come the 604-yard 15th, the longest hole on the card, the 200-yard 16th, and par 4s of 436 and 445 yards to finish.

How to Play It

TPC Las Vegas — Playing Strategy

Beginner / High Handicap

At 7,016 yards with a 146 slope from the TPC tees, this course is best played forward. The club's blended tees mix nine holes from the blue tees with nine from the white and, per the club, bring fewer forced carries into play. The card also asks that all desert be played as a red penalty area, so take the drop rather than hunting for the ball.

Intermediate / Mid Handicap

The course sits between 2,000 and 2,500 feet, and the club puts the extra carry at about 7 to 10 yards, so club down on approaches. On the greens, the club's rule of thumb is that putts break away from the mountains, mostly toward the Stratosphere tower. On the 14th, a drive right of the steeple line leaves about 100 yards; going left brings the ridge into play.

Advanced / Low Handicap

The back nine decides the card: the 13th is the No. 2 handicap and the club's own risk-reward pick, and the 11th, 17th and 18th are all par 4s of 436 yards or more. With par 71 and only three par 5s, the 541-yard 4th is the one to attack, more than 50 yards shorter than the 595-yard 6th and the 604-yard 15th.
