About Us:
TPC Las Vegas is a par-71, 7,106-yard championship course designed by Bobby Weed and Raymond Floyd. Set in a scenic desert landscape at elevations between 2,000–2,500 feet, it challenges skilled golfers while remaining accessible for beginners. Known for its tricky back nine, standout holes include the risk-reward 13th, “Death Valley,” and the demanding 14th, or “steeple hole,” which requires strategic tee placement. The course offers extra yardage in the high desert and features subtle breaks on greens, typically moving away from the mountains and toward the Stratosphere.
