Las Vegas National Golf Course
About Las Vegas National Golf Course
Las Vegas National Golf Club sits less than 10 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and plays as a classic, traditional 18-hole layout suited to a range of skill levels. The par-71 course is lined with thousands of trees and defended by well-placed sand bunkers and a handful of water hazards guarding the fairways and greens.
Known as "The National," the course was designed in 1961 by architect Bert Stamps and carries a long tournament history, having hosted LPGA and PGA events including the Tournament of Champions, the Sahara Invitational and the Las Vegas Invitational. Tiger Woods played here in 1996 during the week he claimed his first PGA Tour title, posting a 1-under 70 on this course.
