How to Plan a Great Las Vegas Golf Trip

This article will help if you are planning a bachelor party to Las Vegas that includes golfing, or if you are just a golf enthusiast that wants to play all the best courses. Read on to learn about the best courses and services available to help you plan your trip.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Check out combination airfare, hotel and golf packages. This does not mean you need to pay for an expensive hotel on a golf course. Just look for package deals that give you discounted rates to stay and play in Las Vegas.

2. If you are planning a large bachelor party, it may be wise to contact a company that specializes in planning golf getaways in Las Vegas. You may be surprised at the deals you can get if you have a large group.

3. Early tee times are important. It is easy to forget that Las Vegas is a desert, and it is dry and hot. Even in the fall, it can be quite warm in the afternoons. If you are going to golf early in the day, make sure to have some activities scheduled indoors for the afternoon and early evening while it is still baking hot.

4. The Wind!
   
   Many people who have never lived in Las Vegas don't know about the nasty wind that rolls through like clockwork around 3 PM. Because of the dry desert, hot weather and mountainous terrain, the afternoon winds can be quite strong....another good reason to plan your golfing earlier in the day.

Tips & Warnings

• Check out stay and play packages
• Consult companies that specialize in golf vacations and groups
• Get early tee times
