A bucket list golf experience. One of the most memorable golf trips of my life and if you check my other reviews you’ll see I’ve been lucky and done a few great trips. No disrespect to the other courses, but this is a first class golf course and experience from start to finish. It’s probably as close as any of us average joes will get to feeling like we’re playing in a big tournament. The caddies, the clubhouse staff, the pro shop staff, on and on everyone treated us with world class service. I expect it’s likely because of the large contingent of celebrity members and guests (whose lockers you get to borrow for the day while you play, an added perk). Anyways beyond just those perks and the service the course is unbelievable. Imagine golf tycoon game back in the day. Tom Fazio was given his plot of land from Mr. Wynn and told build your dream course and that’s exactly what he did. It’s an oasis in the desert and if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to play it don’t hesitate and make it happen.

What a gorgeous golf course! It so well maintained that it looks unreal, like a panting, an oasis in the dessert. The greens are so good that it feels like you’re in a pool table, the fairways are impeccably manicured. The holes are pretty long, with a lot of par 4s being more than 500 yards. But what a challenge and a bliss. Our caddie Chris was such a great person and competent, ask for him. This is definitely my favorite course in Nevada. Highly recommended!

This place is probably the nicest golf courses I have ever seen. Their management is top notch. Monty runs a smooth operation and the ladies that serve the guests are all incredible. This golf course is literally in the middle of the desert, but when you get there, you would never know it- (unless you hit your ball so far out of bounds that you can tell... I know because I did that). Highly recommended. A. Gautreaux, Dallas, Texas, USA

Amazing golf course in Las Vegas. Course is always in top shape, staff is top notch. And the service is 2nd to no one. Expensive for a tee time. But Shadow Creek is a bucket list golf course. The experience here makes you feel like you are the only group on the course, and they treat you like a king. Thank you for the great experience

Absolutely amazing. Yes it's expensive, yes it is over the top, but if you're a golfer you owe it to yourself to play here. From the second you get picked up to the second you are dropped off, it's an incredible experience. The course was in great shape, the staff were so friendly and so professional this is what golf is supposed to be like. Food in the club house was tasty, and weirdly affordable compared to the green fee price. Tl;Dr golf here. You won't be disappointed.

This is in my top 10 greatest golf courses. The whole experience is amazing. When you enter these grounds the whole world melts away and all that is left is this perfect golf course. There are challenging and memorable par 4s, 3s, and 5s. The test of a golf course for me is how different each par 4 is. I went again. This is one of the greatest experiences for golf ever!! Love being picked up in the limo. The staff at the clubhouse is super accommodating. The facility doesn’t look like much from the outside but inside it’s amazing. The course is in amazing shape. Caddies are outstanding. On #17, you have to go to the front of the tee box and see the headstones of the dolphins.

Shadow Creek is the best golf course in Nevada and one of the best in America: The latest Golf Digest rankings have SC as the 27th best golf course in America. A veritable oasis amidst the glitz and glare of Las Vegas. This course is a testament to what human ingenuity, paired with a true love for the game, can produce in the most unexpected of terrains. This is like having Augusta in the middle of a desert, complete with green awnings at the clubhouse. It's also why the first "The Match" between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods was played and televised here. From the very first tee, one is immediately transported to a different realm, far from the bustling heart of Sin City. The meticulous landscaping, the gentle undulations of the fairways, and the serenity of the water features all evoke the finest parklands I've seen around the world. You first ask, how in the world did they get all these pine trees to the desert? The course itself demands precision, but rewards bold play. Much like the philosophy I've always endorsed, golf is not just about strength, but about thinking, strategizing, and most importantly, respecting the course. And at Shadow Creek, respect is something you learn quickly. Tom Fazio designed each hole with such intricate details that even the most seasoned golfers will find themselves pausing to rethink their usual strategies. But more than the challenge it poses, what truly captivated me about Shadow Creek is its commitment to the essence of golf. Despite being in the middle of the desert, it manages to echo the greenery and tranquility of the sport's Scottish origins. Of course, the facilities and service are second to none. From the attentive staff to the top-tier amenities, every aspect of the Shadow Creek experience speaks of luxury and class. The practice facilities are world-class. Yet, what stands out the most is how the course makes one feel. Even with all my years in golf, playing on countless courses, it’s rare to find one that elicits such a profound sense of awe and admiration. Shadow Creek isn't just a golf course, it's a reminder of why we fell in love with this game in the first place. Amid Las Vegas, Shadow Creek shines not just as a beacon of golfing excellence, but as a tribute to the timeless spirit of the game.
