Desert Fairways - Golfing Along the Vegas Strip

Published on Dec 18, 2007 in Getaways: Escaping the Cold

Pull up a map of Las Vegas golf and you'll immediately see why the region draws so many golfers to its world-class courses. Dozens of golf courses entice visitors to experience perfect greens in the warm, dry climate. Vegas offers a range of course prices and amenities to fit a variety of tastes, many within minutes of world-famous hotels along the Las Vegas Strip. Best of all, because of Nevada's mild climate, great golfing lasts all year.

As with the rest of the city, Las Vegas courses provide a multitude of experiences. Tee up on fairways designed by names such as golf legend Jack Nicklaus and world-famous designer Pete Dye among native high desert foliage or imported exotics. Some courses nestle in the foothills of mountain ranges, while others hug small lakes. In a city so full of high-quality golf opportunities, each course strives to stand out with unique experiences.

Whether your tastes range from the simple to high-concept, fairways in the shadow of a mountain or lakeside greens, the Las Vegas Strip Scenic Byway offers a course for you. For more information, visit Golfing Las Vegas on the official Las Vegas Tourism website.
