Vegas is all about themed hotels and attractions and for golfers there is no more sacred theme than the Open.
Missed your invitation to the British Open? Not to worry, Royal Links Golf Club features 18 of the best holes from 11 different British Open rotation courses. It literally transports golfers back in time to the birthplace of this great game and is one of the most unique playing experiences in the country. This links style course faithfully recreates legendary holes such as the Road Hole and Hell Bunker from the Old Course at St. Andrews and the Postage Stamp from Royal Troon. Other courses in the loop include Carnoustie, Turnberry, Royal Liverpool, Prestwick, Royal Lytham, Muirfield and Royal Birkdale. Caddies are available and recommended as many of the holes are truly Scottish in design and flair, and have deep, hidden bunkers and hazards. Monuments were erected at various points throughout the course indicating spots where great moments in British Open history took place. A Champions Wall is erected near the practice green honoring American champions of the Open.
The castle-style clubhouse adds to the atmosphere and includes a golf shop offering Callaway club and FootJoy shoe rentals and is stocked with quality merchandise, art and collectible memorabilia. Stymie’s Pub is an English tavern serving Isle fare, as well as traditional American favorites. The Royal Links is located less than 20 minutes from the Strip and 15 minutes from Downtown. Among its many awards, Royal Links was voted one of Golf Magazine’s "Top Ten You Can Play."
Royal Links is a must-play when in Las Vegas.

The service was impeccable from the time we arrived until we pulled out through the gate. We're an average group, but were treated as though we were VIPs.
I will certainly play this course again the next time I'm in town and would highly recommend it.
