Hitting the links on Las Vegas golf holidays

Las Vegas is an ideal destination for a golf vacation. With over 55 golf courses in the area, you’re guaranteed to find something that suits your taste, budget and skills. If golf travel is your thing, you can return to Vegas year after year and never get bored. You can take your pick of traditional European-style courses, or unique desert golf courses like nowhere else in the world. Many pros can be found practicing at Vegas golf country clubs, so you may even get to meet a golf celebrity!

When most people think Vegas, they think extravagant casino-hotels. The Entertainment Capital of the World offers more than just gambling and shows, however. There are several golf resorts, as well. For example, the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa offers the total Los Vegas package in style. This true golf spa resort has an exclusive partnership with TCP Las Vegas, one of the few PGA Tour courses open to the public. After hitting 18 holes, relax and unwind at the full-service Aquae Sulis spa. Of course, the resort also has an on-site 50,000 square foot casino, as well as shuttle service to The Strip if you crave more excitement.

If you’re looking for discount Las Vegas golf, try one of the cheaper public golf courses like the Siena Golf Club. This relatively new course has been getting great reviews and is only 20 minutes from The Strip. The best way to golf cheaply in Vegas, though, is to plan ahead. Book a golf package through your hotel. Las Vegas is so entertainment-oriented, most hotels can offer packages tailored to any needs. Book your tee times long before you get on the plane, as popular courses fill up quickly. You can save money by booking less popular times, like mid-afternoon or evening, or by taking your Las Vegas golf holidays in the off-seasons of mid-summer and mid-winter when both golf and resort pricing is much lower.
