Posted on August 19, 2008
Las Vegas is dubbed the World’s Most Exciting Golf Destination by VegasGolfer Magazine, and the area is home to more than 60 golf courses that have been designed by some of the biggest names in the world of golf.
And the awards keep coming for Las Vegas golf courses.
Four Las Vegas golf courses and one golf course located in nearby Mesquite, Nev., have made the prestigious GOLF Magazine Top 100 You Can Play List for 2008.
Tom Fazio’s Shadow Creek is the highest-ranked of the Las Vegas golf courses at 13, while the Rees Jones-designed Cascata comes in next at 46.
At 51 is Wolf Creek Golf Club, designed by Dennis Ryder and located in Mesquite, a mini golf mecca located about 77 miles from Las Vegas.
WYNN Las Vegas Golf and Country Club, another Fazio creation in conjunction with Las Vegas casino legend Steve Wynn, stands at 56th.
And Jack Nicklaus’ Reflection Bay Golf Club is 64th. Joe Passov, Golf Magazine’s Course Rankings and Architecture Editor, writes that the golf courses ranked in the Top 100 are “Among the best public golf experiences your money can buy.”The Top-100 Courses You Can Play was compiled through input from Golf Magazine’s World Course Ranking Panel (which can be found at Golf.com), the Golf Magazine editorial staff, industry insiders and the magazine’s network of “course spies” in the field.
