Los
Vegas Golf Vacation
If you are the kind of person who enjoys getting outside and spending
their holiday on the golf course, then a Los Vegas golf vacation
is the perfect choice for you. Thanks to the sheer variety of different
golf courses that are available within easy reach of the strip.
These range from nice simple courses with very easy holes through
to complex championship standard courses that offer a real challenge
to the most dedicated golfer. |

If you are travelling on a Los Vegas Golf Vacation, then it is
a good idea to check whether there are any tournaments on in advance.
That way you will know whether you are likely to miss out on playing
a particular course because of a block booking.
Typically, you can book rounds of golf directly with the golf course
where you want to play, either in advance of travel, in which case
you will need to check with a specialist Los
Vegas golf vacation tour operator, or alternatively, most of
the main tourist hotels in Los Vegas do offer a concierge service,
which will be happy to book your teeing off times on your behalf
to save you the fuss of booking it yourself.

The busiest time for playing golf in Los Vegas is in the early
morning and late afternoon. At lunch time, when the sun is hottest,
playing golf can be fairly uncomfortable and very tiring in the
extreme heat of Nevada in summer. To get the most popular tee off
times, such as 9am or 6pm, you will generally need to book well
before you actually want to play – especially if there is
an event on in the city at the same time as your Los Vegas golf
vacation.
The most popular golf courses in Los Vegas are located outside
the city limits, on exclusive country club locations where the striking
green of the fairways is a real contrast with the bleak and barren
desert that surrounds them. It is a captivating sight for many first
time visitors to the city to see the golf courses in the middle
of the desert, but like the rest of the city, Los Vegas golf is
as much an illusion as anything that David Copperfield performs
in his show. |

While
the courses may appear permanent and lush, they require full time
attention and watering to look so green, and this is reflected in
the prices that you have to pay for green fees and access to the
course. Golf is not as cheap in Los Vegas as it is in Florida, but
thanks to the great facilities that are on offer, it is often just
as enjoyable.
If you have a number of people travelling with you on a Los Vegas
Golf Vacation together, then you may find that you are able to get
a special rate for the green fees, and it is a good idea to ask
about what options are available to you when you first book. |
