Golf Holidays in Nevada

Why book a golf break in Nevada

• Target style desert layouts with dramatic mountain backdrops
• Post round entertainment & nightlife in Las Vegas
• Direct flights from London Heathrow, Manchester & Gatwick

Located on the border of California, Nevada is an ideal destination for linking up a big west coast golf break in America, including an obvious visit to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas might be the only place where you can lose a ball in a desert canyon, watch a Cirque du Soleil show and still make your dinner reservation at a celebrity chef restaurant. The city has quietly become one of America's premier golf destinations, with courses ranging from ultra-exclusive Tom Fazio designs to PGA Tour venues hosting annual tournaments.

Golf courses to include on your golf holiday in Nevada

Shadow Creek is the crown jewel of Las Vegas golf, Tom Fazio transformed flat desert into a Carolina-style woodland complete with waterfalls, mature pines and elevation changes that feel completely out of place in Nevada. The par-3 17th with its island green is the signature moment, but honestly, every hole feels like a private sanctuary.

Cascata sits about 30 minutes from the Strip in Boulder City and the drive is worth every minute. Rees Jones designed this desert canyon layout with dramatic elevation changes, a waterfall cascading past the clubhouse and conditioning that rivals anywhere in the country.

Bali Hai sits directly on the Strip with a South Pacific theme that includes tropical landscaping, white sand bunkers and water features. Wolf Creek in Mesquite appears on bucket lists worldwide, and for good reason. Dennis Rider's design winds through red-rock canyons with elevation changes that seem almost impossible.

Pick a base hotel on or off the Strip
Strip hotels offer convenience and entertainment but require transfers to most courses. Off-Strip resorts put you closer to certain courses with a quieter atmosphere.

Sort transfers and club carriage
