Accessing this prestigious course requires specific conditions. Guests must stay at select MGM properties (excluding New York-New York, Excalibur, and Luxor) to book tee times Monday through Thursday. Weekend slots are reserved for casino-comped players with established credit lines.
Golf hole with bunker
The Tom Fazio-designed course, completed in 1989 at a cost of $60 million, spans 7,560 yards and features a par-72 championship layout. Set against mountain backdrops, mature pines, and blue ponds, Shadow Creek maintains impeccably manicured fairways and greens.

The signature 17th hole, a par-3, showcases the course's beauty with its water hazard, strategic bunkers, and elegant waterfall. Originally built as Steve Wynn's private club, MGM Resorts International acquired the property in 2000.
Shadow Creek has hosted notable events, including the 2018 match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, and the LPGA Tour's T-Mobile Match Play. The course currently serves as the venue for The Showdown, featuring Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, marking the first competition between PGA Tour and LIV golfers since their 2022 split.
