With a nine-hole course, a 133-station driving range, and a golf shop, restaurant, and bar, the Callaway Golf Center is a great place for vacationers looking to boost their game without committing to a full 18 holes at a more expensive golf course. Conveniently located on the Las Vegas Strip, the 42-acre training facility is Vegas’ most popular and accessible, and it’s no small wonder when considering all the amenities Callaway has to offer.
Known in Sin City as being the “Disneyland of Golf,” Callaway’s complex includes a championship par-3, 1,152-yard nine-hole course called “The Divine Nine.” Designed by Bob Cupp with several water features, including ponds, streams, lakes, and waterfalls, the beautifully landscaped course certainly feels like a paradise, especially since it’s set amid some amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip. PGA quality greens add to the experience, and the 110 to 185-yard holes provide ample opportunity to work on one’s iron game. Fully illuminated for night play, the Divine Nine books its last round shortly before 9 pm.
A great way to relieve stress can also be found at Callaway’s two-story driving range, where players can easily go through a bucket of balls and still wonder where the time went. The range has ten target greens, the longest at 375 yards, and players have a choice of synthetic range mats or natural turf, which the entire range is covered with. The practice facilities also include a sizeable putting green, as well as a short game area with a sand bunker.
And for those who genuinely want to improve their game, Callaway offers lessons at the driving range, as well as PGA professionals who can tag along for your round on the nine. Cart rentals are also offered, and equipment is available at the Saint Andrews Golf Shop, known for selling the most Callaway brand golf clubs in the nation. Conveniently, players can try a club at the practice facility before they buy it.
After wrapping up the Divine Nine, players can spend the time they would have spent on a back nine at the bar and grill Bistro 10, which offers hamburgers, sandwiches, wraps, and salads in a country club-style setting.
An excellent alternative to an 18-hole round and a time-friendly way to enjoy some golf, Callaway Golf Center offers a friendly and enjoyable golf experience that is sure to improve anyone’s handicap.
