Located less than 20 minutes from the Strip and 15 minutes from Downtown Las Vegas, The Royal Links Golf Club, one of Golf Magazine's "Top Ten You Can Play" for 1999, is at the top of our “ must play” list, while in the Las Vegas area.

Built to honor the rich tradition and history of the game, The Royal Links Golf Club features holes inspired by the British Open rotation courses. You'll cross the “Swilcan Bridge” to begin one of the most incredible golf experiences on either side of the pond. Play holes inspired by the "Road Hole" of St. Andrews, the famous "Postage Stamp" from Royal Troon, and “Number 10” at Royal Lytham. Other courses in the loop include Carnoustie, Turnberry, Royal Liverpool, Prestwick, Muirfield and Royal Birkdale.

Designed by Dye Designs International, Royal Links Golf Club is a premium, daily fee, 18-hole golf course and is an excellent test of golf for golfers of all abilities.  The championship layout is 7,029 yards with a course rating of 73.7, and a slope of 135.  Yardage from the men’s tee is 6,602, and the ladies have it at 5,142.

Forecaddies are available and recommended, as many of the holes are truly Scottish in design, including some hidden bunkers and other open style hazards. Monuments have been erected at various locations throughout the golf course indicating the spots where great moments in British Open history took place and there is a “Champions Wall” near the practice green honoring American champions of the British Open.

A castle-style clubhouse completes the “Open” atmosphere and includes the golf shop, stocked with quality merchandise, art and collectible items, and Stymie's Pub, which serves fare similar to that served in many English taverns.
