The Fall 2017 National Championship is headed to the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, where 224 of the top club golfers across the country will test their skills on the top Snow Mountain and Wolf courses. The Las Vegas Paiute Resort courses are ranked in the best courses you can play in Vegas. The Paiute Resort plays host to numerous state and regional championships each year.
