Shadow Creek is an eighteen-hole golf course in North Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, owned by MGM Resorts International. The course opened in 1989, was built on a 350-acre site, at a reported cost of 60 million dollars. Designer Tom Fazio performed what he calls "total site manipulation," creating an environment where none existed by carving rolling hills and canyons from the flat desert floor north of Las Vegas and pumping in plenty of water. What makes Shadow Creek genuinely stunning is the psychological journey: it feels more like Oregon or North Carolina, surrounded as the grounds are by towering evergreens, meandering streams and plunging waterfalls, all framed by the imposing peaks in the distance. The experience is orchestrated down to the minute detail—green fees include caddie and round trip limo transportation from MGM Resort hotel. Ranked 24th on Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Courses and 3rd on the public golf courses list, the greens roll as true as any greens you will play. This is high-stakes golf theater where every shot carries weight, played on a canvas of impossible beauty carved from nothing.
