Shadow Creek Golf Course

18-Hole Course opened in 2009. Designed by Tom Fazio & Andy Banfield.

Private course is open to those who lodge at the MGM Grand Hotel, where a room comes with limousine service to and from the clubhouse. The most memorable aspect of the layout is the greens, which are tiered and have plenty of flow, so that precision and spin are what’s needed to carry off the birdies.

If you’ve never been to Augusta or Sawgrass, this is a good approximation of the experience. There are to be sure less expensive rounds to be had, but as always in Vegas, you get what you pay for.

The course is one of the most exclusive in Las Vegas, with a private caddie on hand to greet and guide you through a golfing experience you will never forget. The clubhouse is remarkably modest for an establishment in Sin City, though to be clear the course is not too heavily used.

The driving range has a driving range, putting range and chipping green.
