Reflection Bay Golf Club

Reflection Bay Golf Club opened in 1998 as part of the Lake Las Vegas Resort development in Henderson, Nevada, approximately 17 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip. Jack Nicklaus designed the course to take advantage of its dramatic setting along the western shore of a 320-acre artificial lake, creating a layout where water comes into play on several holes and the desert landscape frames much of the routing. The course sits at the base of the River Mountains, and the elevation changes throughout the property provide views across the lake and surrounding desert terrain. The routing features a mix of holes that play along the lakeshore and others that move through the desert hillsides. The signature stretch includes holes that run directly beside the water, where the lake creates both visual interest and strategic challenge. Nicklaus incorporated the natural desert vegetation and rock outcroppings into the design, and the course requires players to navigate both the water hazards and the arid landscape typical of southern Nevada golf. Reflection Bay has hosted professional events including PGA Tour and LPGA Tour competitions during the early 2000s when the Lake Las Vegas Resort was an active tournament venue. The course operates as part of the resort community and serves both resort guests and members. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that overlooks the lake, consistent with the resort's Mediterranean-inspired architecture.
