Shadow Creek Golf Course

Shadow Creek Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course designed by legendary architect Tom Fazio and carved from the Nevada desert near Las Vegas. The course stretches from 6,054 to 7,582 yards with a par of 72, featuring a routing that creates dramatic elevation changes and diverse hole characteristics across the desert landscape.

The course is renowned for its distinctive setting, transitioning from desert terrain into lush, forested wilderness. Each hole presents strategic challenges with water hazards, including crystal blue lakes that guard numerous greens. Notable holes include the par-3 17th, designed with unusual width-to-depth proportions that emphasize yardage control, and the finishing par-5 18th, considered one of the world's greatest golf holes.

Shadow Creek ranks among America's most challenging and aesthetically remarkable courses, demanding precise shot-making on every hole. The course emphasizes classic design principles while delivering considerable difficulty. Access is exclusively for MGM Resorts guests, who receive personalized service including private limousine transportation and caddie service. The course has maintained its reputation for nearly 25 years as a world-class private golf experience and was recognized as one of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses by Golf Digest.
