Wynn Las Vegas

For over fifty years, the grounds of Wynn's Golf and Country Club played host to prolific PGA tour events and still it continues to enchant guests from the world over. A delicate balance of traditional links and nouveau design combine to make the Wynn Las Vegas, one of the most magical courses you'll ever have the privilege of playing.

Re-opened in 2005, the sprawling 142-acre grounds had undergone one of the most ambitious renovation projects in the history of Las Vegas, involving a team collaboration between two icons of our time – Steve Wynn and Tom Fazio. Envisioning a place of mystical beauty and landscaped elegance, Wynn was heavily involved in the planning of the 18-hole course from the outset. Fazio brought his own blend of modernism and sympathy for nature, to create a course that would be a joy to both the eye and the handicap.

Occupying a popular area parallel to the Las Vegas Strip, the par-72 rated Wynn Las Vegas lies in prime position for exploration of Sin City. Less than two minutes East sits the majestic “shopping triangle” comprising the behemoth outlets of Fashion Show Mall, Encore and Las Vegas Plaza Shopping Centers. Three blocks South lies the notorious Planet Hollywood entertainment complex and an abundance of upmarket mega-resorts – including the Wynn and Encore developments. Right at the heart of the action, you really are spoiled for choice!

In Vegas, the Wynn brand is considered the ultimate benchmark for lavish hotels, high-rolling luxury casinos and out-of-this-world shows in conjunction with Cirque de Soleil. Little surprise then, his foray into the golfing arena should be any different. With a $500 green fee per guest, Wynn Golf and Country Club is considered a public, semi-exclusive course - high-rollers and celebrity personalities tending to be the most prominent faces. It's a price tag befitting of the 18-hole spectacle, which boasts a 37-foot waterfall and 6,000 trees planted specifically for the re-design. At 7,042 yards, Wynn Las Vegas is a championship level challenge, with an additional four tees per box opening up the course for other handicaps.

Much of Wynn Las Vegas' delights are shrouded in secrecy – the luxury enjoyed exclusively by those who can afford the $500 down payment. The promise of sharp dog-legs and tough par-4's are enough to convince many, however Wynn's amenities also add to the draw of this fascinating retreat. Two putting greens; a practice area; outdoor tennis courts and a guest only clubhouse make this a dream location, for the ultimate Vegas golf experience.
