How do I book a tee time in Las Vegas?

It depends on the course's access tier, and Golf in LV maps the path on every listing rather than selling tee times. Public and resort courses link straight to GolfNow's live tee sheet at the official rate with no markup. Private and resort courses like Shadow Creek and Wynn route to Casino Host Vegas, and a few courses that still book by voice list their direct phone number.

How much does it cost to golf in Las Vegas?

Green fees swing widely by season, day, and tee time. As a rough guide, municipal and daily-fee courses run about $40 to $120, premium public and resort courses run $100 to $300, and the invitation-only courses are arranged by a host rather than a rack rate. Booking early-morning or twilight and playing midweek is the single biggest lever on price.

When is the best time of year to golf in Las Vegas?

October through May is prime, with clear skies, daytime highs in the 60s and 70s, and courses in peak condition. Summer from June to August is brutal, with regular 105-degree afternoons, but it is the value season when green fees drop sharply and dawn or twilight rounds stay playable. Spring and fall are the sweet spot for both weather and tee-time availability.

How many golf courses are there in Las Vegas?

More than fifty championship courses sit within an hour of the Strip, and Golf in LV covers 53 across Southern Nevada. They range from Tom Fazio desert masterpieces and Pete Dye layouts on tribal land to Rees Jones canyon courses and honest municipal tracks locals have played for decades.

Does Golf in LV book tee times?

No. We map them rather than sell them. Public courses link to GolfNow's live tee sheet at the official rate, private and resort courses route to Casino Host Vegas for host-arranged access, and direct phone numbers are listed for the courses that still book by voice. For the dining and nightlife side of the trip, we point you to our sister guide MyRSVP.

How to Play

How to Play Golf in Las Vegas

The complete, independent guide — when to go, where to play, what it costs, and how to book.

Las Vegas has quietly become one of the best golf cities in North America. More than fifty championship courses sit within an hour of the Strip — Tom Fazio masterpieces carved from raw desert, Pete Dye layouts on tribal land, Rees Jones canyon courses, and honest municipal tracks that locals have played for decades. This is the independent guide to all of it: when to go, where to play, what it costs, and exactly how to book.

When to play

The Las Vegas golf season runs opposite the calendar you might expect. October through May is prime — clear skies, daytime highs in the 60s and 70s, and courses in their best condition. Summer (June–August) is brutal, with regular 105°F+ afternoons, but it is also the value season: green fees drop sharply and early-morning or twilight rounds are very playable. Spring and fall are the sweet spot for both weather and availability.

Where to play, by access

How you get on a course matters as much as how it plays. Vegas golf sorts into three tiers:

Public & resort courses — the majority. You book these directly through their live tee sheets (we link the GolfNow page on every course listing). Standouts include Bali Hai, the only championship course on the Strip itself; the three Pete Dye layouts at Las Vegas Paiute; and Wolf Creek in Mesquite, whose canyon holes are among the most photographed in the state.

Private & invitation-only — Shadow Creek, Tom Fazio's desert oasis, and Wynn Golf Club on the Strip are the crown jewels. There is no public tee sheet for these. Access runs through casino-host relationships, which is why we route you to Casino Host Vegas on those listings.

Championship public — the best of both worlds: tour-quality courses you can actually book. TPC Summerlin hosts the PGA TOUR's Shriners Children's Open, and Serket (the former Rio Secco) is a Rees Jones championship test now open for public play.

What it costs

Green fees in Las Vegas swing widely by season, day, and tee time. As a rough guide: municipal and daily-fee courses run roughly $40–$120; premium public and resort courses $100–$300; and the invitation-only courses are in a category of their own, arranged by host rather than rack rate. Booking early-morning or twilight, and playing midweek, is the single biggest lever on price.

How to book

We don't sell tee times — we map them. Every course page gives you the exact path:

Public courses link straight to GolfNow's live tee sheet — the official rate, no markup.
Private & resort courses route to Casino Host Vegas, who arranges access to Shadow Creek, Wynn, and the private clubs.
Direct — phone numbers and official sites are listed on every page for the courses that still book by voice.
