Wynn Golf Club
The only golf course on the Las Vegas Strip, hidden in plain sight behind the Wynn and Encore towers. Tom Fazio carved it out, then carved it out again, returning the land to golf in 2019 with waterfalls, flower beds and a finish that exists nowhere else in the game. It is golf as Las Vegas spectacle, a walkable par 70 you can play within minutes of the casino floor.

The verdict
No course in golf occupies stranger or more valuable ground. Wynn Golf Club sits directly behind the Wynn and Encore resorts, the only course actually on the Las Vegas Strip. The original Tom Fazio and Steve Wynn layout closed in 2017 and briefly became a lagoon attraction, before the land was handed back to golf and reopened in October 2019, reworked by Tom Fazio with his son Logan into a par 70 of around 6,722 yards.
What you get is not a championship test so much as a piece of theatre. The course is lushly planted with thousands of trees and flowers, water runs through it, and it climbs to a closing par 5 that tumbles past a man made waterfall toward the resort towers. It is short, walkable and immaculate, priced as a luxury amenity rather than a value round. For a golfer staying on property who wants to play somewhere genuinely one of a kind without leaving the Strip, nothing else compares.

The holes worth the trip
The Wynn course is defined less by individual strategy than by its setting and its conditioning. Fazio moved enormous amounts of earth to create elevation and seclusion in the middle of a flat desert city, planting the corridors so densely that, for stretches, you forget you are a wedge from the Strip. The greens are slick, the bunkering clean, and the whole thing presented to a standard most private clubs never reach.
It builds to a genuine showpiece. The closing par 5 plays back toward the resort, with a man made waterfall cascading beside the green and the Wynn and Encore towers as a backdrop, the kind of finishing image that belongs on a postcard. Earlier holes thread water and flower beds, and several short par 4s reward placement over power, which suits the par 70, sub 6,800 yard scale.
Do not come expecting a brawny modern championship layout. Come for the spectacle, the immaculate turf and the novelty of teeing off in the centre of Las Vegas, and the round delivers exactly what it promises.

Where to stay nearby
The obvious base is the Wynn or Encore itself, since the course is effectively a hotel amenity and resort guests have priority on tee times. Staying on property turns a Las Vegas trip into a walk out the back door for golf, with the spa, restaurants and casino all steps away.
From the Strip you are also within a short drive of the best of Las Vegas golf, from Shadow Creek to Cascata, so the city works well as a hub for a multi course week. Harry Reid International Airport is roughly ten minutes away.
