JW MARRIOTT LAS VEGAS GOLF RESORT & SPA 5*

Since opening in 1996, the TPC at The Canyons has hosted the Senior PGA Championship, and is a high class desert course. In addition to the jaw-dropping scenery, the course is renowned for its 7,063 yard layout that is a stern test for even the best players.

The impeccably manicured fairways and greens are in stark contrast to the rugged surroundings, which will certainly claim a few errant golf balls. While there may not be a recognised signature hole, the demanding 13^th certainly sticks in the memory; standing on the tee, golfers must drive over an arroyo to a blind fairway, angled off to the right.

With the Frys.com Championship now attracting the major players on the PGA Tour, the TPC at The Canyons' stock is on the rise, making it increasingly attractive as an option for the avid golfer heading to Las Vegas.

The rugged landscape may look natural, but the creators of the golf course actually used a lot of dynamite!
