Las Vegas National Golf Club is located just as stone’s throw from the famed Las Vegas Strip. This classic Bert Stamps design opened in 1961 and has since held a storied existence rivaled by only the most prestigious clubs in the world.
While Las Vegas National (formerly known as the Sahara Country Club) has a tradition steeped in history, it remains a local favorite for avid golfers primarily because it’s a course that you don’t have to “hit it a mile” to reach the fours and fives in regulation. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that if you do hit it a long way but out-of-bounds, trees and water await the errant shots.
With many holes running parallel to each other, if you err on the proper side, you can still find and play your ball. And there are few forced carries at Las Vegas National, so opportunities abound for the run up shot to receptive approaches. This traditional style is one of the many reasons “The National” still remains a favorite after nearly five decades of play.
Las Vegas National is not an overly long course, but the strategic placement of hazards and bunkers will quickly get your attention.
