4 Day Las Vegas Golf Itinerary
Nowhere packs marquee desert golf and a great hotel into a tighter circle than Las Vegas. From one base on the Strip you can play the Tom Fazio course at Wynn, the legendary Shadow Creek, the mountain spectacle of Cascata and Bali Hai back among the casinos, all within forty minutes and all in winter and spring trim. Here is the four day plan, with indicative 2026 green fees, the access rules that matter and where to stay.

Who this trip suits
This is the high end Las Vegas golf break, built for the golfer who wants the famous desert names without leaving the Strip behind. The four courses sit within a short drive of one another, so you set up in one hotel, never move, and the evenings stay free for the dining, the shows and the tables. It suits a celebration, a buddies trip with a budget for one or two bucket list rounds, or a couple for whom a great course and a great room are the holiday. The marquee here is Shadow Creek, and the rest of the week is built around it.
The one fixed point is access. Shadow Creek admits only guests of an MGM Resorts hotel, generally Monday to Thursday, so book the round when you book the room and shape the days around it. The desert plays best from October to May, when daytime temperatures are comfortable and the courses are in peak condition, away from the searing heat of high summer. Book the marquee tee times as far ahead as you can.
The 4 day plan
Wynn Golf Club
Open steps from your room. Wynn Golf Club, reopened in 2019 to a Tom Fazio design behind the Wynn and Encore towers, is the only championship course on the Strip with that address, a lush run of streams, koi ponds and a closing waterfall hole in the shadow of the resorts. It is the easiest possible start to the trip, walk out, play, walk back. Indicative 2026 green fees run from roughly 300 to 750 dollars depending on season and residency; tee times are taken by phone and resort guests get priority.
Shadow Creek
The reason most golfers come. Tom Fazio carved Shadow Creek out of flat desert in 1989 for Steve Wynn, importing thousands of pines and a creek to create a secluded parkland that feels a continent away from the Strip. It is open only to guests of an MGM Resorts hotel, usually Monday to Thursday, and the indicative 2026 green fee of around 1,250 dollars includes a caddie and a round trip limousine from your hotel. Treat it as the centrepiece and book it when you book the stay.
Cascata Golf Club
A change of scene worth the short drive. Cascata, a Rees Jones design set above the desert floor in the foothills at Boulder City, takes its name from the cascade that runs through the clubhouse and down to the course. It is dramatic mountain golf, quiet and exclusive, a contrast to the Strip courses and a fine third round. Indicative 2026 green fees sit in the few hundreds of dollars; the course is walkable but most play it with a cart in the heat. Always confirm current rates before booking.
Bali Hai Golf Club
Finish where you started, on the Strip. Bali Hai, designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley and opened in 2000, is the southernmost course on Las Vegas Boulevard, a tropical layout of palms, black volcanic rock and water at the foot of the resorts by the airport. It is the most convenient round in the city and a relaxed, scenic close to the four days before you fly. Indicative 2026 green fees are the lowest of this group; the par 71 plays about 7,000 yards. Always confirm current rates before booking.

Green fees verified indicatively in June 2026 from course and listing sources; they vary by season, day and residency and change without notice, so always confirm current rates and access directly before booking. Check Las Vegas tee time availability.
When to go and where to stay
Play between October and May, when the desert days are comfortable and the courses are at their best, and avoid the June to August peak when temperatures can pass forty Celsius and golf is an early morning affair. Base all four nights on the Strip and the trip runs from a single hotel. An MGM Resorts property such as Bellagio, Aria or MGM Grand is the key that unlocks Shadow Creek, while Wynn and Encore put the Wynn course on your doorstep, and Bali Hai is minutes south. Cascata, the Jack Nicklaus course at Reflection Bay on Lake Las Vegas and the Pete Dye layouts at Las Vegas Paiute are all a short drive out for a fifth round. A car or a driver makes the daytime hops simple and leaves the evenings to the city. Build the week around the Shadow Creek day and the rest falls into place.

Las Vegas itinerary questions
What is the best 4 day golf itinerary in Las Vegas?
Open on the Strip at Wynn Golf Club, the Tom Fazio course steps from your room, then play the famous Shadow Creek, the Tom Fazio parkland reserved for MGM resort guests, take Cascata, the dramatic Rees Jones layout in the mountains at Boulder City, and finish back on the Strip at Bali Hai. The four sit within about forty minutes of a Strip base, so you never change hotels. Always confirm current tee times, access rules and fees directly before booking.

This marquee route is led by Shadow Creek at an indicative 1,250 dollars for MGM resort guests in 2026, with caddie and limousine transfer included, and Wynn Golf Club from roughly 300 to 750 dollars by season.
