Overview
If the movie “South Pacific” could use the dramatic cliffs of Kauai’s Napali Coast to represent the mythical island of Bali Hai, why can’t Vegas turn it into an entertaining 7,015-yard par 72? Architects Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley took 145 acres of crushed rock and refuse across Las Vegas Boulevard from McCarran International Airport, imported thousands of palm trees, white granite sand from southern California for waste areas, Augusta white sand from Georgia for the bunkers, black volcanic rock from Utah for an accent and enough tropical honeysuckle, pampas grass and pineapple guava to complete the illusion. Adjacent to the airport, Bali Hai offers a unique setting in the heart of Las Vegas. For those seeking a Vegas-like experience, we’re told Jello shots and Golfboards are frequent options for guests here. The island green at the par-3 16th often features an audience from the nearby restaurant patio.

“Lots of back and forth holes to squeeze everything onto the property. The highlight has having The Strip as a backdrop on some of the holes. Golf in an urban setting is a rare treat."
