Hello Nick, Back in the days when I was teaching school all day and driving taxi much of the night to keep body and soul together (remember when we could do that?) there were about six golf courses in town - one Municipal, and the Dunes (current site of the Bellagio), Tropicana (current site of the MGM Grand), and Desert Inn, now site of the soon to open Wynn Las Vegas. Those are gone but the other few still remain; Sahara (about 1.5 miles from the hotel), the Showboat (located way out in Henderson - now part of Green Valley), and Louis Prima's Fairway to the Stars south of town that eventually fell into disrepair. The phone book currently lists 14 private courses and 44 (that is no misprint) public courses. They include Badlands, which as its name implies, is built in concert with the harsh desert environment, Tournament Player's Club, which is a world class course, and one so exclusive that it is by invitation only. And yes, many of the communities are built around courses.

No Andy; I "Mean subdivisions" are built and a Golf course are built around them. Heard several golfers talking in the line next to me when I was checking in last year. I don't golf, never learned to chase a little ball.
