A TPC course with a decade of tournament history
01 / COURSE
TPC Las Vegas opened in 1996, originally known as TPC at The Canyons. The course was designed by Bobby Weed and World Golf Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd. It hosted the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children Open, the Bard Capital Challenge and the Las Vegas Senior Classic between 1996 and 2006.
That history gives the course a tournament pedigree, but its appeal today is broader. The layout is described by TPC as “desert elegance”, with mountain, canyon and city views surrounding a par-71 championship test. Its design includes strategic carries and holes that ask players to decide how much of the desert landscape they want to challenge.

02 / COURSE
The surrounding desert landscape is not simply a backdrop. The natural slopes, rock formations and open sightlines help define the visual experience, while the course’s carries and landing zones ask golfers to select the correct tee and a realistic target.
TPC Las Vegas offers a par-71 layout measuring 7,016 yards from the tips on the official course overview. That distance is not the only measure of difficulty: choosing the correct tee, managing the desert carries and finding a useful angle into the green make the round more enjoyable for a wider range of players.
A tournament pedigree with a visitor-friendly booking model
Unlike some exclusive Las Vegas courses, TPC Las Vegas is open to the public. Its blended tee options and official booking system can help golfers choose a more suitable test.

TPC Las Vegas is open to the public as well as resort guests. The official site publishes tee-time options, rates and visitor information, making it a practical choice for golfers who want a championship-style course during a Las Vegas stay without the exclusive access model used by some other venues.
The course also offers blended tee options intended to reduce forced carries while preserving a fair test for mid-handicap golfers. Before booking, compare the available tee sets, check sunset times during the shorter winter days and allow time for transport to the course.
