TPC Summerlin and Las Vegas Golf
I guess I should have clarified. My top 5. Not what the magazines say

Agreed with all of the above suggestions. Grew up in Las Vegas and played high school golf so have played most courses aside from some new ones that have opened in the last few years. If you're able to get out on some private courses, Southern Highlands is also amazing or Las Vegas CC for the nostalgia. And here are a few more great courses from memory:
1. Dragon Ridge
2. Bear's Best
3. Boulder Creek GC
4. Revere at Anthem - both courses are fun
Wolf Creek is supposed to be fantastic but haven't had a chance to get out there.

What course do you recommend for a husband and wife, looking to play 9 with good rental clubs? It seems most pricing is for 18 holes.
Not south. More straight west.
Its is a good course. I would not call it great.. But it is worth trying to play if you are there.
I lived there for a bit and there are some great courses in the area. Angel park hills is good. I used to love the badlands but it closed.

With decent clubs, your best bet is arroyo, sienna, spanish trail, or angel park

Big thumbs up to the TPC course - one of my favorites.
The Paiute courses are good too but it gets very windy out there in the afternoon.

Badlands my first experience with Vegas golf, was pretty sad when I heard they closed that place
We had 2 very different first experiences with Vegas golf bring at badlands. I walked off after 9 holes took 4 hours. Never looked back. Sad though that any course has to close. Especially with what they're talking about putting there now in its place...

I never had issues playing there. I would play in the summer when it was 110 degrees in the middle of the day. I would just take a gallon of water and try to drink it almost twice.

Is Vegas like Myrtle Beach, where there's green fee coupons in small magazines by the super market?
Not sure if it still happens but you used to be able to find discounted rates on GolfNow.
Quite a few tracks are still on golfnow with pretty good discounts

As several Morgan Cuppers have mentioned TPC Las Vegas was fantastic. Par 3, 2nd hole. 
Wolf Creek was an excellent experience. From 2nd tee box.

Same here - I grew up right down the street so played there quite a bit. Always felt like it was the most extreme version of "desert golf" that you could play. Multiple holes with island fairways and greens surrounded by deep arroyo desert.
Also remember it being the first golf course that added AC to the golf carts - in the form of ice chests under the seat with tubing that ran up to right behind your neck. It would kick on the fan when you sat down. In the 110+ summer heat the icy cold air on the back of the neck was great.

Looks great! Hope you had fun out there!
Did you see the pro tees on hole #3 at TPC? You can actually make them out in your photo on the left (by the houses with the palm trees) - the pros tee off across the canyon with like a 240 yd carry to the fairway.

That's awesome! Such a cool and intimidating tee shot, especially when the wind is blowing hard
Think it was Saturday morning when group teed off from the blue tees but should have teed from the whites.
Our time on the course for The Morgan Cup was incredible!!
