Las Vegas Golf Courses

The greater Las Vegas area (Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City) is home to nearly 50 public and semi-private golf courses. This section of Source1LasVegas.com is devoted to providing you with useful information on the various golf courses you may be interested in playing.

You will find basic but important information about various Las Vegas golf courses without having to click on a bunch of links. You won't find all of the courses listed now but most of them will be listed in the future (as I continue spending time to "scope" them out) - so check back often!

Did you know ... you can get a bird's eye view of the golf courses listed below using free software from Google? With Google Earth software you can view the entire course from high above or zoom down to get a better look at the water hazards, bunkers, etc. The software download is currently 14.2 MB and, again, it is free for personal use. But it will not work on older computers and operating systems. Take a look at to see if it will work for you.
