North Las Vegas, Nevada
Shadow Creek is a resort where the course is the headline act in North Las Vegas, Nevada. It is best played winter into spring.
Access runs through the resort — book the stay and the course comes with it. Green fees run $1,250 (MGM guests). The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.
Shadow Creek is a private, invitation-style desert oasis built by MGM specifically for high-end guests — the green fee alone signals how exclusive this round is. No. 68 on our list, and one of the more memorable executive-retreat rounds anywhere.
Winter into spring is peak season outside Las Vegas, and it pairs naturally with a corporate trip that wants golf and the Strip in the same week.
