Not every vacation destination is home to world-class golf courses but did you expect Las Vegas to be one of them? Of course not. In the midst of a desert this city boasts some of the most beautiful greens in the country. Las Vegas is quite an expansive city; however finding a golf course right along the strip is not as difficult as one may think.
Like the themed hotels along Las Vegas Boulevard, Bali Hai Golf Course transports visitors to another world full of lush tropical foliage. The course features seven acres of water hazards, 4,000 trees and 100,000 other tropical plants. White sand and volcanic rock brings the island feeling right to your feet. 
If 18 holes and a Par 71 does not appeal to you, take your game to the Callaway Golf Center. Located on the south side of the strip, Callaway is a par-three course with a Golf Performance Center and Golf Shop. If you would rather work on your swing and avoid a long day of golf, grab your clubs and head to their 100-stall driving range.
The last course situated on the Strip is the Wynn Golf and Country Club. Designed by Tom Fazio and Steve Wynn, this course takes golfing in the desert to a whole new level. This 18-hole, Par 70 features actual elevation changes not see in the other Strip courses. Over 800,000 cubic yards of dirt were moved to create the 45 feet of elevation on the course. Along the course are 100,000 shrubs, two marshlands, and roughly 1,200 trees. The centerpiece of the 18th hole? None other than a 37-foot waterfall.
There are other courses throughout Las Vegas; however these are the only ones you will find on the Strip. Be prepared to pay a hefty fee. The Wynn Golf and Country Club green fees can run up to $500 while Bali Hai starts at $200. A multitude of other courses are available, if you are willing to head away from Las Vegas Boulevard.
