Las Vegas National Golf Club

Originally opened in 1945, Las Vegas Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in town and makes for one of Sin City's most unique rounds of golf. The flat, classic design is heavily wooded in some areas and features wide, forgiving fairways. Holes 16-18 are one of the most difficult finishes in Las Vegas however. The course has four exciting, reachable par 5s and plays just 6,631 yards and was designed by Casey O'Callaghan. It is also home to the annual Las Vegas City Amateur.

Las Vegas National has all of the look and feel of the era. From the opening hole, the wide green look is a throwback to the Augusta look every course wanted. Only three tees are found here, another signal of the past before the need for five sets of tees for every player level that is now commonplace. This course has had years of care and the course conditions are excellent. The final sign of age is the mature trees that provide shade and shadows, something that a lot of the new courses in Vegas just don't have.

Las Vegas National plays 6,815 yards from the tips and has just three sets of tees, another sign of the tradition. The course opens and closes with healthy par 5's but it is the blend of strong par threes that you will really remember. Each one offers a well-protected target by either water or bunkers and the 16th is a true knee knocker that plays to 222 yards from the back tees.

A previous host to the Las Vegas Invitational, Tiger Woods shot a one-under 70 during his inaugural PGA victory in 1996.
