The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The old-Vegas character course, a 1961 traditional grass-and-palm layout originally tied to the Stardust, a Rat Pack haunt, and the site of Tiger Woods’s first PGA Tour win. Tee-side signage about which mobster owned which house gets called out as much as the holes themselves.
Consistently praised
- Genuine sixties Vegas atmosphere, palm trees and stucco clubhouse instead of desert targets.
- History on every tee, from Rat Pack ownership signs to Tiger’s 1996 breakthrough; five distinct par 3s and a traditional walking layout.
Worth knowing
- Reviewers note dated infrastructure and inconsistent upkeep; come for the vibe, not for resort polish.
Golfers recommend
- Read the signs at each tee; the history is half the experience.
- Plan a Strip-side day around it; minutes from the Strip and pairs well with a casual round.
