Las Vegas National Golf Club

What Las Vegas National Golf Club does

Las Vegas National Golf Club operates a single 18-hole par 71 championship golf course at 1911 E Desert Inn Rd, Las Vegas, NV, less than ten minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and approximately four miles from Harry Reid International Airport. The course was designed by Bert Stamps and opened in 1961 as Stardust Country Club; it has since passed through several owners (Del Webb, American Golf, Las Vegas Hilton) and has been managed by Harrah's Golf Management Group since 2008, when it was acquired by its current partnership ownership. The asset carries meaningful historical brand equity, including LPGA and PGA Tour events (most notably Tiger Woods' first PGA Tour victory in 1996), a Rat Pack-era cultural legacy, and a filming role in the 1995 movie Casino.

Revenue is generated through five interlocking streams: daily-fee green and cart fees, rental clubs (Callaway Elyte and TaylorMade Q-10 at $79 standard and $69 twilight), a full-service tournament and group outings business (booking up to one year in advance for groups of 40+), on-site catering and banquet facilities (clubhouse capacity up to 250; private banquet room for 6-130), and The Rat Pack Bar & Grill, a daily breakfast-and-lunch restaurant open to the general public that also houses the Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame exhibit. Supplementary services include golf instruction, a pro shop, and periodic vendor fitting events.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer plus targeted enterprise sales. Individual golfers self-book tee times through the foreUP-powered website or by phone; tournaments and corporate events are sourced by a dedicated sales team (Joe Kelly, Director of Operations; Max McReynolds, Sales Associate; Illa Smith, Catering Manager). Approximately 29 employees support operations across the course, F&B, retail, and events. Technology is limited to commoditized third-party booking and equipment platforms; no proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or mobile applications were disclosed. Pricing for green fees is quote-based rather than publicly listed, while a 2023 Preferred Annual Players Program offers membership-style benefits without monthly dues or F&B minimums. The business is privately held with no disclosed funding, subsidiaries, or parent company beyond the 2008 partnership structure.
