The Wynn Golf Club is a par 70 championship course at the Wynn Las Vegas designed by Tom Fazio and Steve Wynn. The course is located on just over 137 acres that was once the Desert Inn Golf Club. Construction of the course required the movement of more than 800,000 cubic yards of earth, planting over 100,000 shrubs, and the salvaging of over 1,200 existing trees from the old Desert Inn Golf Course. Water is in play on 11 of the 18 holes including a 37-foot waterfall on the 18th hole.

After your round you can enjoy the view of the 18th hole while eating lunch at The Country Club, A New American Steakhouse. Golf on the Las Vegas Strip doesn’t come cheap. Regular rates at the Wynn Golf Club start at $500. If you can take the heat, summer weekday rates fall as low as $300.
