Legacy Golf Resort -- Another fine resort in Vegas for golf enthusiasts is the Legacy.

Wildhorse -- Wildhorse is another fine public golf club in the Vegas area. Four beautiful courses named Green, Gold, Black and Silver offer challenge and beauty for every golfer whether you're a beginner or a pro.
