The Strip's two addresses

Bali Hai — the only championship course on the Strip itself, south end — gets a structured review (Schmidt & Curley, opened 2000, par 71, the island-green par-3 16th): scored 4 of 5 on course quality, not just location, with the service experience walked honestly (budget for staff tips on top of the green fee). The official short film sells its other register: a championship course run as a party spot, beat-the-pro wagers on the island green, group and bachelor-party rounds a house specialty. Wynn Golf Club gets the scenery treatment in the resort's own 2024 film: Tom Fazio's design behind the tower — waterfalls, streams, pine-shaded fairways — on the land where the Desert Inn's course once ran, the most exclusive tee time in town.

Course Review | Bali Hai Golf Club - Las Vegas, Nevada

Mashie Niblick

A structured course review of Bali Hai Golf Club from the Mashie Niblick review channel: the Schmidt & Curley design (opened 2000) that sits directly ON the south Strip — tropical landscaping, water in play and Strip views from the fairways. The reviewers score it 4 of 5, walk the service experience (bag staff, tips on top of green fees) and call it a genuinely good course that happens to have a famous address.

Key takeaways
  • The only championship course on the Strip itself (south end)
  • Schmidt & Curley, opened 2000; par 71, island-green par-3 16th
  • Review score 4/5 — course quality, not just location

Affordable & Beginner-Friendly Golf In Las Vegas at Durango Hills Golf Club!

City of Las Vegas

The City of Las Vegas's beginner-friendly round at Durango Hills Golf Club — an affordable municipal 18 where a self-confessed non-golfer plays with coaching help. Mid-round, local golf historian Brian Hurlburt tells how golf shaped the city, at the Las Vegas Golf Club, which dates to the late 1930s and hosted the PGA Tour long before the Strip was the Strip. Two courses and a history lesson in one short film.

Key takeaways
  • Durango Hills: municipal, affordable, beginner-welcoming
  • Las Vegas Golf Club (est. late 1930s) is the city's original course
  • Golf in Vegas predates the casino era — the Tour played here first

Par-Tee Time at Bali Hai Golf Club | Things to Do in Vegas

Visit Las Vegas

Visit Las Vegas's official short film at Bali Hai Golf Club: the club's director and beverage-cart team sell the vibe — a championship course run as a party spot, with the Strip as its backdrop and a beat-the-pro style challenge on the famous island-green hole (hit the green, double your money). Two minutes that capture why Bali Hai books so many group and bachelor-party rounds.

Key takeaways
  • Bali Hai leans into entertainment: music, drinks cart, on-course challenges
  • Island-green 16th is the signature photo and wager hole
  • Group/bachelor-party rounds are a house specialty

The original game

The City of Las Vegas's own film plays Durango Hills, the affordable municipal 18, beginner-welcoming — and mid-round detours into history at the Las Vegas Golf Club (late 1930s), where the PGA Tour played long before the Strip was the Strip. Golf in Vegas predates the casino era; this short film is the proof and the budget pick in one.

Golf as a night out

The entertainment tier is covered like a consumer decision: Topgolf vs Atomic Golf head-to-head (Atomic's four floors and bottom-up self-pour Tap Room by the STRAT vs Topgolf's polished sports-bar model by MGM Grand — choose by vibe), Topgolf priced front and center (bays ~$40–$90/hour as filmed; level three is 12-and-up), PopStroke at Town Square (opened April 2024 — Tiger Woods's TGR putting courses, real contours, no windmills, drinks ordered to the course) and Swingers Crazy Golf at Mandalay Bay (opened November 2024 — three storeys of London-born crazy golf, carnival games, serious cocktails, adults-first). Real fairways at both ends of the price ladder, and three ways to hold a club after dark.

Topgolf vs Atomic Golf Las Vegas - Which One Is Actually Worth It?

Gear Horizon

Gear Horizon's head-to-head of Vegas's two golf-entertainment flagships: Atomic Golf — four floors, 100,000 square feet, 100+ bays by the Strat, with six bars including a Tap Room whose bottom-up self-pour beer system he calls a genuinely cool party trick — against Topgolf's more polished sports-bar model by the MGM Grand. The verdict framework: nightclub energy at Atomic, sports-bar energy at Topgolf. Essential viewing before choosing between them.

Key takeaways
  • ["Atomic: 4 floors, 100+ bays, six bars, nightclub energy by the Strat","Atomic's Tap Room pours beer bottom-up, self-serve","Topgolf: bigger sports-bar polish by the MGM Grand","Choose by vibe — party (Atomic) vs classic sports bar (Topgolf)"]

TopGolf Las Vegas Biggest Complex! Pricing and More!

The Megawatts

The Megawatts tour one of the biggest Topgolfs in the world with pricing front and center: bays ran $40–$90 per hour for the group as filmed, across three playing floors (the third floor is 12-and-up; younger kids play on levels one and two). The visit then extends into a robotaxi ride segment away from the venue — the Topgolf half is the pricing-and-layout briefing.

Key takeaways
  • ["Bay pricing as filmed: roughly $40–$90/hour depending on time/floor","Three playing floors; level three is restricted to ages 12+","Families with under-12s play on levels one and two","Video extends into a robotaxi ride after the venue tour"]
