In a bittersweet moment for golf enthusiasts and resort-goers alike, the Wynn Golf Club has officially closed its doors for good as of December 17, 2017. Spicing things up a notch, rumors surrounding this closure had been floating around since April 2017, creating quite the buzz in the gaming and golfing communities.
A High-Stakes Playground for Golf Lovers
Strategically nestled behind the prestigious Wynn Las Vegas resort and casino, this golf course catered primarily to the high-rolling crowd. With green fees ranging from a staggering $350 to $500, it was no ordinary golf experience—it was a luxury escape carved into the desert.
Opening its greens just twelve years prior, the Wynn Golf Club aimed to position itself as a formidable rival to other celebrated golf resorts such as Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes. As the years rolled on, it became a favored destination for those looking to tee off in a lavish setting amidst the glimmer of Las Vegas.

But with the doors now closed, many are now asking—what’s in store for the space that once held so many memorable rounds of golf? The answer lies in ambitious development plans that will transform the former golf course into a modern marvel.
The area behind the iconic Wynn hotel is slated for redevelopment, with plans to introduce new hotel additions and expansive convention spaces. This is all harmonized with a vision that takes the resort experience to a new peak, ensuring it stays resonant with the extravagant spirit of Sin City.
Introducing Paradise Park
Among the most exciting of these redevelopment plans is the creation of a fresh attraction called “Paradise Park.” Picture this: a vibrant destination featuring pristine white sand beaches, thrilling zip lines, and relaxing boat rides! It’s the kind of place that sounds like it was pulled directly from a daydream, with family-friendly vibes that are sure to draw in visitors from all walks of life.
