Green Fees in Nevada: What Golf Costs in 2026
Nevada golf means Las Vegas golf, and Las Vegas does golf the way it does everything: with an enormous spread between the bargain and the blowout. You can play a fun desert round for the price of a show ticket, or pay 1,250 dollars to ride a limousine to Shadow Creek. Here is what golf actually costs in Nevada in 2026, course by course, and where to spend and where to save.

The short answer
At the accessible end, Las Vegas is reasonable. A round at a fun, easy to reach course such as Bali Hai, the tropical layout right on the Strip, or TPC Las Vegas runs indicatively from around 130 to 300 dollars in 2026, and the city's desert and daily fee courses, including the three Pete Dye layouts at Las Vegas Paiute, sit lower still, from roughly 80 to 200 dollars. These are the rounds most visiting golfers will actually play, and summer rates fall sharply when the heat climbs.
At the top end the numbers turn into Vegas numbers. The Rees Jones designed Cascata in Boulder City, with a stream running through its clubhouse, runs roughly 200 to 500 dollars; the Tom Fazio course at the Wynn, reopened in 2019, is indicatively around 500 to 1,050 dollars; and Shadow Creek, Steve Wynn's Tom Fazio masterpiece, charges a flat 1,250 dollars, limousine and caddie included, available only to higher end MGM resort guests and only Monday to Thursday. Up at Lake Tahoe, Edgewood runs its own short, pricey summer season. The biggest lever on what you pay, as always, is the season.

Green fees verified indicatively in June 2026 from course and resort listings; they vary by season, day and how you book, resort rates often bundle a cart, caddie or transfer, and all change without notice, so always confirm current rates directly with the course or your trip planner before booking. Check tee time availability.
How green fees work in Nevada
Las Vegas runs on dynamic, season driven pricing more aggressively than almost anywhere in American golf. Rates swing hugely between the perfect weather of the October to April peak and the furnace of high summer, when courses cut fees by a third to a half to tempt players out into 110 degree heat; an early morning tee time in June can be a genuine bargain. Time of day matters too, with twilight rates a reliable saving, and many courses bundle the cart, range balls and sometimes a forecaddie into the headline number.
The resort showpieces play by their own rules. Shadow Creek and the Wynn are not standalone golf courses you can simply book; they are amenities of the casinos behind them, sold to hotel guests as part of a Las Vegas stay, with Shadow Creek restricted to higher end MGM properties and to four days a week. Expect the fee to include extras, a limousine to Shadow Creek, a caddie, premium service, and check whether tax and resort fees sit on top. Up at Lake Tahoe, Edgewood is a different market again, with a short alpine summer season and the celebrity tournament pushing its peak rates up.
Where to spend, and where to save
To save, play the desert and daily fee courses and lean into the heat: Las Vegas Paiute, Angel Park, Bali Hai in the early morning and a summer trip will get you good Vegas golf for a fraction of peak money, and a twilight time trims the bill further. To spend, point one round at the experience, Shadow Creek for the bucket list, the Wynn for sheer convenience and polish, or Cascata for its drama, and treat the fee as part of the show rather than the cost of a round of golf. Time the trip for the spring or fall shoulder and you balance good weather against the worst of the peak pricing. As ever in Las Vegas, the green fee is only the start of the budget, so plan the whole trip with eyes open.

Nevada green fee questions
How much does it cost to play golf in Nevada in 2026?
It spans an enormous range. Accessible Las Vegas courses such as Bali Hai and TPC Las Vegas run indicatively from around 130 to 300 dollars, the Rees Jones designed Cascata in Boulder City sits roughly 200 to 500 dollars, and the resort showpieces climb steeply: the Wynn Golf Club runs indicatively around 500 to 1,050 dollars, while Shadow Creek charges a flat 1,250 dollars, available Monday to Thursday only to guests of the higher end MGM resorts. These are indicative 2026 figures, so always confirm directly before booking.
How do you play Shadow Creek?
Shadow Creek, the Tom Fazio masterpiece built by Steve Wynn in 1989, is available only to paying guests staying at one of the higher end MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, and only Monday through Thursday; Friday to Sunday it is reserved for invited guests. The indicative 2026 fee is 1,250 dollars, which includes a limousine transfer to the course and a caddie. Book through your MGM hotel well in advance, as access is limited.
Where is the best value golf in Nevada?
Away from the marquee resort courses, Las Vegas has plenty of good value golf. Las Vegas Paiute's three Pete Dye desert courses, along with municipal and daily fee tracks such as Angel Park and the Las Vegas National, offer solid rounds indicatively from around 80 to 200 dollars, and summer rates fall sharply. Booking a twilight time or playing in the June to August heat is the easiest way to cut the cost of a Vegas golf trip.
When is golf cheapest in Las Vegas and Nevada?
Summer, roughly June to August, is much the cheapest window, when desert temperatures regularly top 110 degrees and courses drop their rates by 30 to 50 percent; early morning tee times beat the worst of the heat. The peak season runs October to April, when the weather is perfect and fees are highest. Lake Tahoe golf such as Edgewood runs the opposite way, with its short, pricey season in summer. Always confirm current seasonal rates directly before booking.
