Wynn Las Vegas & TPC Canyons find unofficial Las Vegas partnership

Not everyone who stays at Wynn Las Vegas who’s interested in golf wants to shell out $500 for the needlessly mysterious wall-enclosed Tom Fazio course behind the hotel. And Wynn Las Vegas sometimes doesn’t have room on the course to comp some of its medium rollers (and a huge portion of the golfers on the $500 course are comped).

These scenarios have brought about something of an unofficial high-end golf partnership in Las Vegas. When the Wynn needs another course to send golfers to, it often turns to TPC Canyons. This Wynn runover is introducing more golfers to one of the most underrated high-end plays in Vegas golf.

With its dramatic canyon clears and arresting setting, TPC Canyons is a fun play that costs about half Wynn Las Vegas’ greens fee. Likely even more important to the Wynn people is that they know that their guests are going to get a course in great shape with top-notch service when they send them to TPC Canyons. Heck, TPC Canyons’ staff is so honest that they’ll volunteer to reporters when their course has the slightest conditioning problem.

I’m not particularly wowed by the Wynn Las Vegas hotel itself, but this is a good step for Las Vegas golf. You’re seeing more partnerships that give unsuspecting vacationing golfers a better chance to find themselves on a worthwhile course. There’s the Las Vegas Golf Alliance - a consortium of the Lake Las Vegas courses, Paiute and others - which advertises on TravelGolf.com. And there’s this unofficial alliance between Wynn and TPC Canyons, which does not.

Either way, Sin City golf becomes a little less of a wilderness.
