Shadow Creek Golf Course

Anyone with a fat checkbook and a guest room at one of the Las Vegas hotels of MGM Resorts International has an excellent possibility of meeting some big names stars on the fairways of Shadow Creek Golf Course. This is where George Clooney, Michael Jordan, Matt Damon, James Woods, Reggie Jackson, Joe Pesci, Michael Douglas, and other top celebrities come to relax and chase the white ball over some of the lushest manicured grass ever grown in the desert.

To say Shadow Creek is exclusive is an understatement. Access requires a room key at one of the local MGM properties, such as Aria, the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, the MGM Grand, etc. Green fees start at $500 per player. That includes not only 18 holes of golf, but also private limousine transfers from/to the hotel and a personal caddie.

Newly opened in 2009, the Shadow Creek Golf course was designed by Tom Fazio to play par-72 at 7,560 yards from the longest tees. It features gushing creeks, waterfalls, lush gardens, tall pines, and immaculate greens, all surrounded by towering mountains. For those who prefer to use their own transportation, the course is located at 5400 Losee Road, North Las Vegas, NV 89031.
