Book A Tee Time
A round of public golf in Las Vegas runs anywhere from about $23 at budget off-peak courses to $1,250 at ultra-premium Shadow Creek, with most mid-market daily-fee courses landing between $50 and $150 per 18-hole round. What you pay depends less on some fixed rack rate and more on three levers: the course tier, the time of day, and the season you're playing. Here's how the numbers actually break down in 2026, and how to book a tee time that fits your budget.
Expect to pay around $50 for a weekday round at a mid-market public course, roughly $150 for a prime morning slot at a quality daily-fee course, and $150–$250+ for peak times at resort-tier courses along the Strip corridor. Shadow Creek, the ultra-premium outlier, sits at $1,250 and is restricted to guests of select MGM Resorts hotels.
Las Vegas green fees use dynamic pricing, so the same tee time can shift materially week to week. The numbers below are useful anchors, but always confirm the live rate when you book.
The floor of the Las Vegas market sits around $22.99 — the lowest aggregator "from" price for 18 holes at value-tier courses during off-peak windows. On a normal weekday, budget public courses typically run about $40 walking, with a cart adding roughly $10–$15 per seat. Weekend rates at the same courses climb to about $70–$75. These are the tee sheets to watch if you're a local, a walker, or a group trying to keep the trip affordable.
Mid-tier Las Vegas courses like Palm Valley and Painted Desert start around $50 on aggregator listings and can rise to $80–$175 for prime slots. A useful benchmark is Boulder Creek Golf Club out in Boulder City, roughly 20–30 minutes from the Strip: in-season (March 8–October 31), the prime morning rate runs about $150 before 1 p.m. and drops to $99 after 1 p.m., with green fee, cart, and range balls included at both.
Resort-affiliated courses in the Strip corridor sit at the top of the accessible market. At Bali Hai Golf Club — literally across from Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Boulevard — afternoon tee times list around $151, with peak prime-time slots reaching about $221. That range of roughly $150 to $250 is standard for resort-tier play near the Strip, and it typically includes cart and premium amenities.
Shadow Creek's $1,250 green fee includes limo transport from your MGM hotel, a caddie (tip not included), and locker access. It's not open to the general public — you must be a guest at a qualifying MGM Resorts property and book through the hotel concierge. If it's on your bucket list, plan the golf and the hotel stay together.
Most Las Vegas courses discount afternoon and twilight tee times by 20–40% off the prime morning rate. Boulder Creek's split — $150 before 1 p.m. dropping to $99 after — is a textbook example. The math is even more favorable in summer.
Because Las Vegas summers regularly push past 105°F from June through August, courses aggressively discount midday and afternoon rounds to keep tee sheets full. If you can handle desert heat (and hydrate like you mean it), June through August afternoons are the single best value window in the Las Vegas golf calendar. Fall through early spring is peak season, and morning rates reflect it.
Las Vegas isn't one golf market — it's three, and location drives price as much as course quality does.
If you're staying on the Strip and want to walk to your tee time, your options narrow and your price rises. If you're willing to drive 20 minutes, the value curve improves quickly.
Las Vegas green fees don't come with manufacturer-style rebates, but the discount programs that do exist are meaningful:
Book directly with the course when possible, and cross-check aggregators for last-minute drops. Aggregator "from" prices are useful for setting expectations, but the course's own booking engine will show you cart inclusion, range access, and resident rates that don't always surface elsewhere.
A few practical rules our team has learned from years of booking rounds in this valley:
The lowest aggregator listings for Las Vegas-area public courses start around $22.99 for 18 holes during off-peak windows. Summer afternoons at value-tier courses are consistently the cheapest way to get a full round in.
Yes — most Las Vegas courses cut 20–40% off prime morning rates for afternoon and twilight play. Boulder Creek, for example, drops from about $150 before 1 p.m. to $99 after 1 p.m. in-season, cart and range balls included at both.
No. Shadow Creek is restricted to guests of select MGM Resorts properties and must be booked through the hotel concierge. The $1,250 rate includes limo transport, a caddie, and locker access.
Fall through early spring — roughly October through May. Summer months (June–August) see heavy afternoon discounting due to extreme heat, while morning tee times still command a premium year-round.
Several do. Nevada residents can often access reduced rates by entering a Nevada ZIP code on the course's booking engine or calling the pro shop. Bring ID at check-in.
Budget golfers can play 18 holes in the Las Vegas valley for under $30 if they're flexible on time and course. Most visitors playing quality daily-fee golf should plan on $50–$150 per round. If you want a resort-level round on the Strip corridor, budget $150–$250+ per player and book prime times in advance.
If you're planning a Las Vegas trip and want to play a resort-caliber course without leaving the Strip, Bali Hai Golf Club sits directly on Las Vegas Boulevard with tee times listed in the $151–$221 range depending on demand. You can check live pricing, twilight availability, and current tee sheets at balihaigolfclub.com. However you play it, verify the rate at booking — in a dynamic-pricing market like ours, that final confirmation screen is the only number that really counts.
