Las Vegas Golf

Las Vegas originated as, primarily, a gambling town in the early 1900’s. Today, just over 100 years later, it is a town that continues to reinvent itself into a gambling, entertainment, convention, shopping, dining, and sports mecca. With over 600,000 rounds of golf being played each year, and over 60 courses in the surrounding area, Las Vegas has become one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Each year, well over 35 million people will visit the Las Vegas area. Those numbers, minus a couple of years of decline due to the recent economic downturn, are expected to climb again. Many of these visitors will be in search of golf course options, equipment, dining options before and after their golf experience, weather reports, available golf instruction in the area, and the possibilities of real estate in the golf course community, among others. With a population rise of nearly 25% between 2001 and 2006, and consistently one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the nation, many new citizens are flooding the Las Vegas valley and many are in search of golf opportunities and retail options.

Many of the Las Vegas golf courses have hosted events from the PGA, LPGA, and Champions’ Tours, as well as being played by celebrities, world leaders, and athletes. Tiger Woods’ first win on the PGA Tour was right here in Las Vegas at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational when he defeated Davis Love III in a playoff. Some of the world’s biggest golf course architects have put their stamp on the Las Vegas landscape, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Ted Robinson, Robert Trent Jones, and Rees Jones. These architects combine to form a pantheon of golf giants when it comes to course design.
