TPC Las Vegas capitalizes on the beauty of the mountains and canyons -- and the glamor of the Sin City skyline

Designed by Raymond Floyd and Bobby Weed, the 7,063-yard TPC Las Vegas capitalizes on the beauty of the surrounding mountains and canyons and the glamor of the Sin City skyline to make one of the most stunning golf courses the area.

TPC Las Vegas is "as unique as they come, and I'm very proud of the way it has turned out, especially given the challenges of designing a golf course on such a challenging piece of property," Floyd said.

TPC Las Vegas, which opened in 1996, will test your shot making abilities and doesn't suffer sloppiness. But when played from the correct tees, TPC Las Vegas will not only dazzle with breath-taking views and immaculate fairways, it also comes across as a downright subtle golf course.
