The Wynn Golf Club. How Wynn Resorts turns fairway fees into steady cash

The Wynn Golf Club waits just behind the manicured hedge line, where the smell of fresh-cut grass fights the desert air and golf bags roll over smooth cart paths toward the first tee. This is not a casino floor, but for Wynn Resorts it is serious business.

Luxury golf as a product

Wynn Golf Club is Wynn Resorts' 18-hole championship course tucked behind Wynn Las Vegas, designed and later redesigned by Tom Fazio together with his son Logan Fazio. Official resort information The fairways run right off the Strip, a rare patch of green in a city of concrete and LED.

According to Wynn executive vice president Brian Gullbrants, the course helps anchor the high-end customer who wants more than a blackjack table and a show. Local business coverage Gullbrants has described the golf offering as part of Wynn’s broader luxury ecosystem rather than a standalone amenity.

Players walk past live pines and synthetic water features that mask the underlying reality of being on a reclaimed site that was once earmarked for new hotel rooms. The soundscape is mixed: thumps of drives from the practice tee and the distant hum of Las Vegas Boulevard traffic.

Revenue role within Wynn

On the earnings call when the course reopened, Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings emphasized that non-gaming amenities such as golf, restaurants and retail help raise overall spend per guest, even if each line item is smaller than casino win.

For investors, the course sits inside the Las Vegas segment, where Wynn reports hotel, food and beverage, entertainment, retail and other non-gaming revenue alongside table games and slots. While golf is bundled, its pricing power shows how Wynn can monetize limited Strip land without adding another tower.
