About Reflection Bay Golf Club

Reflection Bay is the Jack Nicklaus course at Lake Las Vegas, 20 minutes east of the Strip. It opened in 1998 around a 320-acre man-made lake, and the club says it's the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Design in Nevada.

By OpenStreetMap survey, water is in play on 8 holes, and some holes rise or fall about 83 feet from tee to green, so it's not a flat resort layout. Course character from OpenStreetMap contributors' survey data.

From 1998 to 2007 it hosted the Wendy's 3Tour Challenge, with players like Phil Mickelson, John Daly, Fred Couples and Bubba Watson. The club lists Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Public Courses from 2003 to 2007, Golfweek's Top 100 Courses You Can Play in 2016 and 2017, and Golf Digest's Best Course in Every State from 2021 to 2024.

The clubhouse is 32,000 square feet, with a golf shop and both casual and fine dining. It also runs a private white sand beach, paddle boarding and a floating concert stage on the lake.
