Wynn Golf Club delivers a dazzling, high-rolling Vegas round fusing legacy and luxury on the city’s most historic golf site. Expect lavish conditioning, a Fazio flair for risk-reward, and a big dose of ‘see-and-be-seen’ Strip energy. This is a world-class detour for golfers chasing both challenge and extravagance.
Wynn Golf Club is Tom Fazio’s vision of a modern destination course—visually striking, highly playable, infused with legacy and Las Vegas flair. His 2019 overhaul, with Logan Fazio, shortened the routing to a par 70, added six par 3s, and expanded green complexes for more creative recovery play. The course feels self-contained and lush, an oasis just paces from the Strip, with contouring and risk-reward choices on nearly every hole. Fazio’s style here ensures resort players and shotmakers alike are rewarded, while the setting delivers a unique big-event, Vegas-only atmosphere.
Tom Fazio and Logan Fazio’s 2019 redesign blends competitive strategy and playful shot value with the entertainment-first DNA of the Vegas Strip. Eight entirely new holes and ten reimagined ones showcase their resort-friendly, yet clever, Fazio touch.
A long, inviting par 4 that perfectly sets the day’s tone: choices off the tee, a challenging mid-to-long iron approach, and sweeping resort surroundings that calm or unsettle the nerves.
Keep the ball in the short grass off the tee to open up the green and take pressure off your approach—a miss short leaves a playable up-and-down.
Be wary of missing long or left—contours and subtle green tilts can spin an average shot into a three-putt start.
Lush, immaculate surfaces with premium maintenance every round; fast but fair greens, generous fairway roll, and high-level landscaping.
Generally brisk for a resort course except at peak demand; premium rates maintain uncluttered tee times.
Upbeat, theater-of-golf Vegas luxury—expect flashy but polished atmosphere, polished staff, and a sense of occasion.
Securing a tee time at Wynn often means planning well in advance—especially for weekends or events.
High greens fees mean you’ll want to make it count—treat yourself to a warmup at their world-class practice facility.
Expect resort casual: collared shirt, tailored pants or shorts, and no jeans. Contact the club before arrival for full policy.
Rolling the practice green is vital; new contours and subtle breaks define birdie and bogey chance alike.
