Green Fees in Las Vegas: What It Costs to Play in 2026

Las Vegas built itself a skyline of golf to match the Strip, from a 1,250 dollar round at a hidden Tom Fazio masterpiece to polished desert resorts and a deep bench of honest public courses. Here is what golf actually costs in Las Vegas in 2026, the headline courses by name, where the value sits, and how to play the best of it without paying the very top of the market.

The short answer

Plan on roughly 150 to 300 dollars for a good Las Vegas course in peak season, with two famous names sitting far above that. At the very top, Shadow Creek, the Tom Fazio design hidden behind berms north of the Strip, is an indicative 1,250 dollars and open only to guests of an MGM Resorts hotel, caddie and limousine included. The Wynn Golf Club, rebuilt on the Strip itself and reopened in 2019, is the other course in a class of its own, indicatively in the several hundred dollar range. After those two, the polished resort layouts such as Cascata and Reflection Bay run from around 200 to 500 dollars in season.

Below the marquee names the city is full of value. A strong group of public courses, from Bali Hai near the Strip to the three Pete Dye layouts at Las Vegas Paiute and the two courses at Angel Park, can be played for roughly 100 to 250 dollars depending on the season and the time of day. And the whole market swings with the desert calendar: autumn through spring is peak and dearest, while the searing summer, when play moves to dawn and dusk, brings the biggest discounts. These are indicative figures and they move constantly, so treat them as a guide and always confirm directly before booking.

How green fees work in Las Vegas

Three things move the price. The first is season. Unlike most of the golf world, Las Vegas peaks in the cooler months, so autumn, winter and spring carry the top rates and the firmest tee sheets, while high summer, when the desert routinely passes 100 degrees, is the bargain window, with play shifting to early morning and twilight and fees falling by a third or more. The second is the time of day, with twilight rounds markedly cheaper and weekdays often kinder than weekends. The third is access at the very top: Shadow Creek is sold only to guests of an MGM Resorts hotel, with a caddie and a limousine built into the price, so it is a hotel decision as much as a tee time.

The rest of the market is refreshingly open. Almost every notable course outside Shadow Creek welcomes visitors, and many run stay and play packages with Strip hotels that bundle the round, the transport and sometimes the room. That makes Las Vegas one of the easier premium destinations to assemble, and a single concierge booking can lock the marquee round you want and fill the rest of the trip with strong value golf a short drive from the Strip.

Where to spend, and where to save

If you spend big on one round, make it Shadow Creek, where the Fazio routing, the planted forest in the desert and the full caddie and limousine treatment justify the outlay and there is genuinely nothing else like it. Beyond that one splurge, the smart money spreads across the polished mid tier and the value courses. Cascata and Reflection Bay deliver real drama for a fraction of the top price, and the public courses around Summerlin and Henderson, along with the Pete Dye layouts at Las Vegas Paiute out in the desert, give you championship golf for 150 to 250 dollars. Build a trip around one headline round and three or four well chosen value courses, and the average cost per round falls hard while the quality stays high.

Las Vegas green fee questions

How much are green fees in Las Vegas in 2026?

They cover an enormous range. At the very top, Shadow Creek is 1,250 dollars for guests of an MGM Resorts hotel, with caddie and limousine included, and the Wynn Golf Club on the Strip is indicatively in the several hundred dollar range. The resort destination courses such as Cascata and Reflection Bay run roughly 200 to 500 dollars in peak season, while a strong group of public courses can be played for 150 dollars or less. Summer rates fall sharply as temperatures pass 100 degrees. Always confirm current fees directly before booking.

How much does it cost to play Shadow Creek?

The indicative 2026 green fee at Shadow Creek is 1,250 dollars per player, which includes a caddie and round trip limousine transfer from an MGM Resorts hotel. To play you must be a guest of an MGM property such as Bellagio, Aria, MGM Grand or the Cosmopolitan, and paid hotel guests are accommodated Monday to Thursday, with weekends generally reserved for invited guests. Always confirm current rates and access directly before booking.

Is golf expensive in Las Vegas?

Only at the very top. Two courses, Shadow Creek and the Wynn, sit in a price bracket of their own, and a handful of polished resort layouts ask 200 to 500 dollars in peak season. But Las Vegas also has a deep bench of good public courses from roughly 100 to 250 dollars, and prices everywhere tumble in the summer heat. A fine multi day trip need not be a costly one if you mix one marquee round with strong value courses.

When is golf cheapest in Las Vegas?

In summer. From roughly June to September daytime temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, so green fees drop by a third or more and golfers play early morning or twilight. The peak season and the highest rates run from autumn through spring, when the desert weather is at its best. Twilight tee times and weekday play cut the cost further at most courses. Always confirm current seasonal rates directly before booking.
