Short golf course near Las Vegas strip is closed, new operator hopes to re-open soon

A short, lighted golf course within view of the Las Vegas strip and the Harry Reid International Airport has shut down, but a new owner is hoping to reopen within weeks, according to a report.

The Las Vegas Golf Center canceled its lease with the airport and has shut down operations.

The course, designed by Robert Cupp, was previously known as the TaylorMade Golf Experience, and sits on 42 acres.

According to a story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the new operator is hoping to have the establishment back up in running soon, but there are no concrete plans as of now.

An airport spokeswoman said a request for proposals would be issued for a new tenant.

The airport acquired the land at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sunset Road in 2023 for $135 million. The acreage, previously owned by Urban Land Investment, falls within the airport’s runway protection zone.

Airport officials have discussed developing one of two multimodal centers in a massive airport expansion and modernization project farther south of the golf course near Hidden Well Road.

Aside from the short course, a 113-stall two-tier driving range with both synthetic and natural turf hitting areas sits near a putting and short-game area.
