Located just south of Mandalay Bay on The Strip, this course features lush landscaping across its 18 holes, a high-end restaurant in the clubhouse, and golf carts equipped with Global Positioning Satellite devices in case you drive off into the desert between the 14th and 15th holes. Tee-times start at around $165 and go up from there.

It's a bit of a drive from The Strip - about 20 minutes if traffic is with you - but they offer a solid, challenging course with rates that won't rip the polyester shirt off your back. (oh relax, it's just a joke) It's also one of the oldest courses in the area, built in 1957.

Perched on the rims of the hilltops surrounding Lake Las Vegas, this par 72-course was designed by Tom Weiskopf and features postcard worthy vistas of the surrounding beauty and the entire city of Las Vegas in the distance. Greens fees range from $150-$270.

Originally opened in 1961, this course has been affiliated with several classic Vegas hotels including the Stardust, the Sahara, and the Las Vegas Hilton. The 18-hole, par-71 course offers greens fees as low as $35.

Nestled along the shores of Lake Las Vegas this course is probably one of the most scenic and most challenging in all of Las Vegas. The par-72 course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and tee times range from $150-$270.
back to the top
Run by the folks at The Rio (hence the name), this 18-hole course has been a favorite since it opened in 1997. What that means to golf fans is that it is a challenging course with all of the latest design features one would expect in a course that charges green fees over $250. Um, ouch.
back to the top
This course was co-designed by Steve Wynn, the guy who brought you Bellagio and The Mirage, and Tom Fazio. It is legendary for its scenic and peaceful vistas and known to golfers everywhere as one of the best courses in the world. Of course, you have to be a guest of an MGM MIRAGE property to play here and it's going to cost you about $500 but true golf fanatics say this is the place to be.
back to the top
A regular stop on the PGA tours, this is a very challenging course not for the faint of heart. 18-holes, par-72, and greens fees that start around $80 and go over $200 for peak times.
back to the top
Even though it replaced the famed Desert Inn course, the new Wynn course is no less impressive (especially since they saved much of the landscaping and trees to put on the new course). Tom Fazio designed the lush 18-hole, par 70 course and you have to not only be a guest of Wynn Las Vegas to play here but you have to be willing to pony up $500 PER PERSON! That's serious golf.
