LAS VEGAS -- We can't all qualify for the British Open. But everyone can play 18 of the best holes of the Open rotation courses at Royal Links Golf Club in Las Vegas.
This golf course was created to honor the rich tradition and history of the game of golf, which began in Scotland centuries ago. The golf course's links style faithfully recreates famous holes such as "The Road Hole" at the Old Course in St. Andrews and "The Postage Stamp" from Royal Troon. Other courses in the loop include Carnoustie, Turnberry, Royal Liverpool, Royal Lytham, Muirfield, Royal Birkdale and the original Open course, Prestwick.
For a true Scottish experience, Royal Links offers forecaddies that will help spot out deep, pot bunkers, point out subtle breaks in the green, and even offer up some British Open history on many of the holes.
Royal Links' castle-style clubhouse adds to the authentic atmosphere here, and golfers can enjoy a pint at Stymie's Pub, an English Style tavern serving isle fare.
