About this course
Angel Park Golf Club's Palm Course sits in the northwest Las Vegas Valley, designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay and opened in the late 1980s as part of a 36-hole municipal facility. The course was conceived to provide accessible daily-fee golf in a desert city experiencing rapid growth, and it remains one of the area's busier public venues. Palmer and Seay routed the layout across relatively flat terrain, incorporating water features and palm trees to create visual definition in the arid landscape. The design emphasizes playability for a wide range of golfers while maintaining enough length and strategic interest to challenge better players. Fairways are generous by modern standards, and the bunkering follows Palmer's characteristic style—bold, visible hazards that frame landing areas and greens without excessive penal consequences. Water comes into play on several holes, a notable feature given the desert setting, and the greens are moderately contoured with enough movement to reward accurate approach shots. Angel Park's location near residential neighborhoods and its proximity to the Las Vegas Strip make it a popular choice for both locals and visitors. The facility includes extensive practice areas and a lighted par-3 course, reflecting its role as a high-volume public amenity. The Palm Course, along with its companion Mountain layout, represents the Palmer Design Company's approach to desert golf during an era when Las Vegas was establishing itself as a significant golf destination beyond its casino reputation.
