Winter golf in Las Vegas
While your home course is under snow: 60-degree afternoons, open tee sheets, and shoulder-season prices on homes and golf.
Build your packageFrom December through February, Las Vegas is one of the only places in America where you can fly two hours from a snowstorm and tee off in a light sweater the same afternoon. Daytime highs run the high 50s to mid 60s, rain is rare, and the courses are conditioned for exactly this season — winter is when the valley's overseeded fairways look their greenest.
It's also the smart-money window: green fees and home rates sit at shoulder-season levels, and tee sheets that need 60 days' notice in March can be booked two weeks out.
What winter golf here is actually like
- Highs 57–65°F — sweater start, short sleeves by the turn
- Occasional morning frost delays (tee times may push 30–60 min; afternoon rounds dodge it entirely)
- Greenest conditions of the year on overseeded courses
- Sunset by ~4:45pm — book morning or midday, skip twilight
The event weeks that change prices
Winter has landmines worth knowing: National Finals Rodeo (early December), New Year's, CES (early January), and Super Bowl weekend (February) each spike lodging valley-wide. Book around them and winter is the cheapest premium golf in America; book into them unknowingly and you'll pay March prices. Our live pricing reflects your exact dates either way.
The winter play
Book midday tee times (10am–noon) to dodge frost and finish in the warmest hours. Pair a south-valley home in Henderson with Rio Secco and Revere, or stay central and play Las Vegas National and Desert Pines. The homes earn their keep in winter too — hot tubs, fire pits, and game rooms turn the 5pm sunset into the best part of the day.

Is Las Vegas warm enough to golf in December and January?
Yes — daytime highs typically reach 57–65°F with sun. It's sweater golf in the morning and short sleeves by afternoon. The only caveat is occasional morning frost, which can push early tee times back an hour.
Is winter cheaper for a Vegas golf trip?
Generally yes — both green fees and home rates sit at shoulder levels. The exceptions are event weeks: NFR (early Dec), New Year's, CES (early Jan), and Super Bowl weekend all spike lodging. Avoid those and winter is the best value for premium golf.
What should we pack for winter golf in Vegas?
Layers: a sweater or quarter-zip for the front nine, short sleeves underneath, and a light jacket for evenings (it drops to the 30s–40s at night). Rain gear is almost never needed.
How far ahead do we need to book a winter trip?
Outside event weeks, 2–3 weeks is usually plenty for both homes and consecutive tee times — the most relaxed booking window of the year.
