Nevada, USA

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is an underrated golf destination hiding in plain sight. Beyond the Strip, the Mojave Desert delivers dramatic red-rock backdrops, wide-open fairways, and some of the best-conditioned courses in the American Southwest. Add world-class dining, nightlife, and entertainment — plus no shortage of tee times — and it's a natural fit for a group golf trip that never stops at sundown.

Best time to visit: October – April (avoid July/August heat)
