You've been watching the 2026 Aramco Championship -- and you're wondering how much it costs to play Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas.

The answer? Such an incredible experience, as you'd imagine, is not cheap.

If you want to play Shadow Creek, you have to stay at an MGM Resorts-owned property in Las Vegas. That means a lot of Vegas resorts are eligible, including MGM Grand, Bellagio, New York New York, Aria, Mirage and Park MGM are among the options.

With a variety of hotels under the MGM International umbrella, you can gain access to Shadow Creek with a relatively low nightly rate at a hotel.

Then you can play Shadow Creek for just $1,250 per player in 2026, which is the current green fee. You're taken to Shadow Creek in a private limousine that picks you up and takes you to the property. From there, you get a personal concierge who will help you have the experience of a lifetime. That's all included in the rate, though you'll pay for your caddie separate from your green fee.

If money is no object or you want to guarantee yourself a spot at Shadow Creek, plunk down the money and just do it. It's an experience you'll never forget.

Shadow Creek is a tremendous experience, and it could be Tom Fazio's masterpiece. It's a golf respite in the desert that doesn't feel like a desert course so much as a unique stadium. The tree-lined course is gorgeous and presents a tremendous challenge for any player at any skill level.

In addition to the Crypto.com Showdown, Shadow Creek also hosted the 2021 CJ Cup and hosts the annual 2026 Aramco Championship on the LPGA Tour. So you'll be playing a venue in Shadow Creek that not only has a great place in Vegas golf history but golf history more broadly.
