A close friend has been asking me to join him for a round here for quite some time. The stars finally aligned and we headed out for a few days during Labor Day weekend. We hopped into the car early Friday morning so that we could grab bfast and warm up a bit before our tee time. Like others have stated, this course may have less than 7-8 tee times each day. Glad it cooled down a bit that day as it would've been miserable playing in over 105 degree weather. Our waitress for bfast was fantastic and ensured all of our needs were met. Lady at the pro shop was super sweet and helped with our souvenir purchases. As we took our time warming up at both the range and practice green, our caddy Eric was awesome. His advice helped make the round more enjoyable as all we had to do was listen to his advice (easier said than done!) Didn't play particularly well as I don't get more than 1-2 rounds in each year these days. The course was in great shape even with the crazy heat we experienced over the past week. Hope I get to play here again in the future but very blessed to have been invited to play once. read more

Shadow Creek Golf Course - 5 Stars Las Vegas is a strange place to go looking for peace. It's built on noise neon, money, motion. But then you slip away, out past the chaos, and somehow you land in this surreal patch of green that feels like it was dropped from the sky by accident. Shadow Creek isn't just a golf course it's an illusion. One minute you're surrounded by rock, dust, and desert grit, and the next you're standing in a lush, perfectly manicured oasis with water, trees, and fairways so clean they don't feel real. Like someone painted life over the wasteland. I didn't come here chasing a perfect scorecard. That's not the point. Some guys get locked in on their swing, their numbers, their pride. Me? I'm here for the exhale. The slow walk. The sound of nothing urgent. It's less about the game and more about disappearing for a while. Service is dialed. Clubhouse is sharp. Food and drinks hit exactly how they should. You can go full luxury or keep it simple either way, it works. No friction, no nonsense. I finally stopped saying "I'll get there someday" and just went. One buddy, no circus, no chaos. Just a couple drinks, a few swings, and a day where the phones didn't matter and nobody needed anything from us. That alone is worth the price of admission. Some people step up to the ball and see pressure. I look around and see an escape hatch. Out here, you're not chasing a score. You're buying a little piece of quiet in the loudest city on earth. read more

Shadow Creek is definitely a beautiful and challenging golf course. With the wind, it can add to the challenge. I was volunteering for a LPGA/LET tournament called the Aramco Championship. I had the opportunity to walk all 18 holes over three consecutive days. It would be nice to play the course but at $1250 for the green fees that is a little out of my budget. The clubhouse is a nice single storey building and looks a little like Augusta National. read more

This place is simply peaceful gorgeous and silent with intermittent loud entertaining music rap and R&B as the cart and players enjoy the grounds. Beautiful from hole to hole all the way through and try that famous drink that's all you have to say. read more

Just do it. One of the best courses Ive ever played in. Not that it is hard like Bethpage black but it's a total escape into a different world. Peaceful, natural and superb conditions come to mind. Not a sole in front or in back of you. Is it worth the 1250.00 per person? Yes. Just do it. read more

What an amazing golf experience we had. The course was in excellent condition & for someone who has golfed all over the world, this was one of my favorite courses I've played. Monte & his team made us feel so special & we had a great caddie. Can't wait to come back soon. read more

This course is amazing as you are in admiration for this Tom Fazio design. Once owned by hotel and casino mogul Steve Wynn, this course has you thinking Augusta, or a North Carolina type of layout. The only golf course that I know of where a limo takes you to and from your MGM hotel (Bellagio, Mirage, MGM, etc). Upon arrivel to the front if the clubhouse, I was met by the GM and my caddy. The GM gave me a tour of the facility and gave a brief rundown of what time to expect for tee off (frost delay) I was the first tee time off and finished in less than 3 hours. Which was perfect do that I could get to a tv to catch most of the football games on and watch the golf tournament that was being held on Kapalua. The locker area had doors with names of pro golfers and famous athletes. The restaurant had some pretty good food as I ate thei Wagyu beef burger. Definitely a try if you're an advocate of beef sandwiches. Now, as far as the course is concerned. Beautiful layout, nice greens, challenging bunkers that will make you regret hitting your ball into them. It's a good thing I had a good caddy. John gave good reads, pointied out where not to hit, and of course where to hit towards. Note:$100 is the standard tip, but give a little more, especially if they were a good caddy. The 17th is one of the signature holes. A par 3 with a wide green but only about 7 yards from front to back. Every hole is prestige, so take it all in when you play here. I'm looking forward to returning here again. read more

One of the most expensive rounds of golf I've ever played. I much prefer Pebble Beach to here (I would also much rather play Spyglass Hill - which is half the price). But if you have the money this course is pristine. They quality of the course can't be questioned and it is far superior in every way to The Wynn golf course. The best course in the Vegas area. read more

We were lucky enough to get the opportunity to play this course last thursday 5/12. It was set up by my friend's Bellagio host. Tee time was for 10:50am and we were picked up around 9:30am. The drive was approx 20 mins and you arrive at a gate. This place was like an oasis in the desert. So unassuming from the outside...but a totally different vibe once you get in. Service: From the moment you arrive, you are greeted and escorted. You never touch your bags again. Everyone that we encountered were professional and polite. We were introduced to our fore caddy. Chris made it a wonderful experience. Course: Nothing was spared to bring this lush patch course to the desert. I have never played on such manicured grass. Fairways and rough were so pleasing to the eye. The greens rolled fast and true. Bunkers were perfect. I love the amount of trees that surrounded the course. IT was so beautiful. Experience: I would def consider this a once in a lifetime experience (due to the crazy exp green fees). I never felt rushed. The caddy experience made it even better. We were able to enjoy the round. The course can be difficult if you played from the tips. I didn't come close to shooting my best round, but enjoyed every minute of it. read more

I have played here numerous times already on its first year of operation. This is by far the most beautiful course i have ever had the pleasure of playing.... Specially the shadows across the fairways makes almost every hole a signature hole if it were on any other courses.... Fairways was as perfect as as some greens on top end courses. It used to be reservedand comped for only big time gamblers. Now you can get a stay and play package with some of the wynn properties in vegas like mirage, wynn and etc. for about a thousand, you stay in one of their suites, get driven , dropped off and picked up again to and from the course to your hotel in their limo. read more

This place is ridiculously awesome. Easily the best golf course in Las Vegas. The course is in immaculate condition and the best part is that there is nobody on the course besides your group and your caddies. I won't do this course any justice with this review as I don't have the words to describe it. The course is sunk below street level, so you can't see any signs of being in Las Vegas. All you see on the horizon are trees and mountain tops. The greens are very fast and always in perfect condition. There are two houses on the property. One is the former residence of Steve Wynn and the other was owned by a former senior executive of Mirage Resorts (before the MGM acquisition). The golf course is very challenging....bring your "A" game. It's not like the other courses in Las Vegas, which are desert landscaped and more like target golf......this is a traditional course and if you didn't know you were in the middle of a desert city, you wouldn't realize it while you were playing. Do not pass on an opportunity to play here. read more

What can I say? One of the most talked about and exclusive golf courses in the US (at least it was back in the day before MGM bought it over and opened it to their guests). The whole course is really stunningly beautiful... they've got all kinds of wildlife here like flamingos, deers, and I can't remember what else. Oh and of course there are snakes :) Very traditional looking clubhouse/locker room, a nice dining area overlooking the 18th hole, but the food is nothing to brag about... (I remember the Kobe beef noodle soup I ordered for $80 that was complete garbage). I've played here a handful of times and each time has been absolutely amazing. The course condition and the greens are wonderfully kept (what do you expect since they only allow 10 groups a day or something ridiculous like that). It seems like there is always a celebrity playing here at any given time. One time Michael Jordan was a few groups in front of me, another time Willy Nelson was on the driving range right next to me. Caddy's are a requirement here. They will ride standing on the back of your golf cart and you get 1 caddy for each group of 4. All are very nice and professional and will give you tips on your swing as well as help read the line on the green for your putts. I haven't been back since MGM bought this place but if you get the chance to play don't hesitate and just do it. You can thank me later. read more

The only thing better then the layout and condition of this course is the the level of customer service. My Dad is a handicapped Army Veteran. He is 74 and can barely walk, however he still loves the game of golf and does his best to play once a week. I called ahead and spoke to John Buffalo the Director of Golf. He linked us up with the best caddie I've ever had (Nick). John instructed Nick to help my Dad navigate the course so it would be easy on my Dad's Disability. My Dad has a great experience, and said it was a day of Golf He will never forget. This is my new favorite course. It's right there with Pebble because of the level of service. Thank you John, Nick, and Shadow Creek. read more

Unbelievable course, great drinks and fantastic service all around! If possible, I would try to drive your own car to the course...rather than the limo they offer. Ours broke down on the highway, leaving us in a dangerous position roadside for almost 30 minutes. Our caddie, John, was fantastic. I'd like him to come play with us at his leisure anytime he wants. Maybe he should come loop Frost Creek in Eagle CO during the hot summer. Anyways, gorgeous course, great service but I'd opt to drive yourself if they'd let ya! read more

I don't think there's a golfer out there that would talk bad about this place. Once inside its easy to forget you're minutes from the strip. Service was top notch as you would expect from a course of this caliber. The guy that caddied for us was very laid back and friendly. The only thing I didn't particularly enjoy was the food. Save your money and eat somewhere else. read more

5 stars isn't enough. Amazing experience and everything they say about it being stunning, quiet, open (not seeing another party) is true. Our caddy Pav (Buddy) was an absolute gem. Loved every bit of it. read more

Well there is hype there is expectation and there is delivery. The previously owned Steve Wynn, Tom Fazio design and ultra exclusive course is now open to guests of any MGM property. Though at $500.00 a person green fee it still gets no play. Aside from my two foursomes, the only other group on the course was the President of Aria and his guys who played through us. The $500.00 fee includes private stretch limo 1 per foursome to and from the MGM property of your choice, greens fee, a forecaddie as well as use of the facility. Outrageous to pay that for a round of golf maybe, but then again an avid golfer has though experiences that are once in a lifetime. Would I play it again, tough call big price tag but was it worth my wild this time absolutely. First off in North Las Vegas in the middle of nowhere you go through the gates and you say ok what is through here. Then you realize someone transformed the desert into a Georgia / Carolina golf course that is simply unbelievable spectacular. Clubhouse is small and traditional as without public play you don't need much and the landscape and grounds are immaculate. Wildlife everywhere from the multiple pheasants following you around to the snakes, deer and hogs it's pretty unbelievable this place exists out here. Moose our forecaddie was fun & informative, though he couldn't read a putt to save his life LOL.. I am a good putter so I normally don't need that much help but he did misclub me and misread me a few times. Course itself was what can I say AUGUSTA to me. Hills, water carries, rolling gently and sometimes violently up and down these manmade hills. I have no words to describe the level of golf this place is only to say if you have the means and opportunity and you are a golf enthusiasts do it boys. Greens compared to Cascata the day before not even close. Probably running 10/11 fair bent grass greens. Biggest difficulty is going long oh boy. Heavy grass behind does not allow you to chip down the hill it grabs and holds your ball so knock it back on the green and take your medicine no up and downs from behind a hole be short no long. Bunkers deep white sand that was easy to get out of a pleasure in fact. Service and staff incredible. What can I say, It was truly a awe inspiring experience. read more

Yes the course is beautiful and the experience wonderful but whats the point if you can't play it. MGM advertise it as a benefit of staying at one of their resorts but the truth is it's nearly impossible to get a t time in October. For,the second year in a row I called 2 months out only to be told that it was too soon. Then I called back 5 weeks out only to be told they are sold out for the days we are in Vegas. Even a casino host could not get us a tee time when I know for a fact that they only allow 6 or 7 groups a day and half of them don't show up. It's a joke MGM. I'm taking my business to WYNN. They have a pretty nice Vegas course as well. I'm guessing you don't care. read more

Probably one of the nicest golf courses in all of America and I think most hard core golfers would probably agree with that statement. With that being said, the way I played the course would have disgusted most true golf enthusiasts. I think my caddy spent more time looking for my errant balls than doing anything else that day. I think I must have lost 2 sleeves of balls into the waterfall on one hole. This place is a true oasis in the desert. More than worth the 500 dollar green fee if you're a golf fanatic. But if you're a golf hack like me, just try to get one of your high roller buddies to take you there after they get comped from dropping 20 grand at the black jack tables. If you're lucky you might even run into MJ at the clubhouse. read more

The best course in Las vegas. Fast greens. Great water features. Unbelievable beauty at this course. If you have the chance to play here make it happen. read more

How this was built on the plot it was built is astounding. To say that something about this course felt mildly artificial is a testament to how well it is executed. Great layout, exceptional caddy and a perfect day of weather. The only let down if the day was that I didn't have time for a second lap. read more

The layout is great to golf and friendly staff - caddy did an awesome job. I highly recommend this place.

Golf course was nice and well maintained and not over crowded, but the staff (especially the head pro) was a jerk! Bought our tee time via Birdie Bug and I felt that they treated us inferior to full paying customers/members because of this. Hey, if you don't want value minded golfers on your courses, then don't offer these promotions. Get over it. It's snobs like you that give golf a bad rap. read more

Course is spectacular. Caddies are awesome. Staff went out of their way to be helpful.

Make sure you have this on your bucket list!!!!! This is without a doubt an experience you will never forget,,,,,,ESPECIALLY if you get "Sarge" as your caddie! He has amazing stories that go back 3 decades that make you think of Forest Gump with all of his accomplishments, the guy is truly an fantastic guy that will make you feel like you've known him forever, and he has got down EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE ENTIRE COURE INCLUDING THE BREAK ON EVERY GREEN AND EVERY SHORTCUT. An amazing golf adventure and every hole is secluded not only from the outside world, but also other holes. Once you are tee'd off you see what Fazio was thinking on every shot and why he his a real master at course design. A little pricey, but that's what makes it exclusive and if you think of the money you saved by not being on a craps table for 4 hours combined with the therapy you get on a beautiful serene golf course, the money is worth it. read more
