Shadow Creek

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I actually get a tee time at Shadow Creek? Is it really that exclusive?

Yes, it's incredibly exclusive. You absolutely need to be a registered guest at an MGM Resorts International property in Las Vegas to even consider booking a tee time. We recommend calling the course directly well in advance of your trip once your hotel stay is confirmed, as spots fill quickly.

What's the real cost to play Shadow Creek, and is it worth the splurge?

Expect to pay a premium - green fees are typically around $600-$750 per player, and that often includes a caddie and private limousine transport. While it's a significant investment, the immaculate conditions, unparalleled service, and unique desert oasis setting make it a bucket-list experience for serious golfers.

When is the best time of year to play Shadow Creek to avoid the desert heat?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (March-May) or fall (October-November) for ideal playing conditions. The Las Vegas summer heat can be brutal, making an afternoon round less enjoyable, even with the course's lush, tree-lined environment.

Beyond the golf, what makes the Shadow Creek experience so unique?

It's an all-encompassing luxury experience from start to finish. You'll be picked up in a private limousine, greeted by name, and enjoy world-class service from your caddie and staff throughout your round. It truly feels like a private club, despite its public access, offering an escape from the Vegas Strip.

What kind of course design can I expect at Shadow Creek, and are there any standout holes?

Tom Fazio masterfully transformed a flat desert into a stunning, tree-lined oasis with dramatic elevation changes, beautiful water features, and pristine conditions. The par-3 17th, with its island green, is a definite highlight, but every hole offers a memorable, challenging, and visually spectacular experience.
