Shadow Creek Golf Course, Private golf course in North Las Vegas, Nevada, US.
Shadow Creek Golf Course is an 18-hole course in North Las Vegas, designed by Tom Fazio and built by Steve Wynn on a 350-acre site. Its fairways run through planted pine and oak stands around small lakes and gentle hills, and the layout measures 7,560 yards after a 2008 redesign that added a 7-acre short-game area.
The course was built in the late 1980s and opened by Steve Wynn as an exclusive facility for guests of his hotels. Tom Fazio designed the grounds and transformed flat desert land into an enclosed artificial landscape.
Shadow Creek's name refers to the shade of the thousands of mature trees planted across the former desert flat. The course was Steve Wynn's private club before opening to a limited number of MGM hotel guests, and its $500 green fee made it one of the most expensive courses open to the public. It has hosted The Match: Tiger vs. Phil in 2018 and again in December 2024.
Access is only available to guests of certain hotels and booking is arranged in advance through the accommodation. Transport from the hotel to the course is organized and the facility remains closed to the general public.
More than 20,000 mature trees were transported and planted here to create the impression of an established forest. The site has its own waterfalls and streams fed by a closed circulation system.
