Golf In Las Vegas - Prepare To Be Thrilled

Article:
While Las Vegas is famous for it's gambling and for top star
entertainment it is also a world class golfing city. Just look
at the famous names who have designed courses here: Arnold
Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Pete Dye Designs, PGA Tour
Designs, Schmidt-Curley and a host of PGA Players : Ray Floyd,
Chi Chi Rodriques, Billy Casper, Greg Nash, Fuzzy Zoeller, and
Johnny Miller.
And as further evidence of the impact of golf in Las Vegas, you
can now earn a bachelor's degree in recreation with an emphasis
on professional golf management at UNLV.
Golf and Las Vegas became associated in 1953 at the Wilber
Clark's Desert Inn Hotel and Golf Course, when the winner was
paid with a wheelbarrow full of silver dollars.
The "Tournament of Champions" ( TOC ), as it was called was the
original forerunner of today's final tour event. Since then, Las
Vegas has become deeply connected to tour golf. It was the only
city in the U.S. to host the three major tours - The PGA, SPGA,
and the LPGA - in the same year and with those tournaments
returning to be played every year.
There are presently over 68 golf courses here for your pleasure
all within the Las Vegas area: 32 public, resort and
semi-private courses, 16 private courses (of which you can play
15), 3 par 3 courses, 2 specialty driving ranges, plus 13
courses within 1 hour or less drive.
That may seem like a lot of golf courses for Las Vegas, but with
almost 1.4 million residents and growing with an estimate of
over 125,000 golfers in the Vegas Valley, and 30 million
visitors per year with 600,000 of those playing golf, many feel
it is still not enough ( but then again - is there ever enough
golf courses? ).
The weather, for the most part, allows golfing to be enjoyed all
year round. With an average of 320+ days of sunshine, you
probably will be able to play golf - whenever you are planning
to visit.
And remember - no matter how bad your last shot was, the worst
is yet to come.
