Golf Trip To Vegas - Warm Up At The Callaway Golf Center

By Brian Weis

When planning a golf trip to Las Vegas consider warming up at the Callaway Golf Center. Located just minutes from McCarran International Airport, the driving range and par three course is an ideal place to loosen up or fine tune your game before tackling the many tour calibre courses Vegas has to offer.

The Course

"The Divine Nine," is a championship par 3, nine-hole course that will test your short game play. Standing on the tee boxes, you won't be intimidated by the distance with holes ranging from 110 to 185 yards. Precision, however, is needed to avoid the sand bunkers, fairway lined mounding and the various ponds. GPS equipped carts and colored marked flags will help you with club selection.

Arriving in town late? No problem, the course can be played under the lights. The course is generally lit for a few hours after dark. For example, in summer the course is open until 11:00. If you plan on golfing at night, bring your camera for some amazing shots of the strip.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
