Vegas resort golf. · Vol. 01

The Ultimate
Nevada Golf Trip.

Nevada is mostly Las Vegas. Shadow Creek (Tom Fazio, 1990, built on what was bare desert) and Wynn Las Vegas are the famously private resort options. Cascata an hour from the Strip is the Rees Jones public alternative; Wolf Creek in Mesquite is the Vegas day-trip with the most photographed golf holes in the state.
