Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas will be the site of The Showdown, which pits PGA Tour players Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler against LIV golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka on Dec. 17.
Shadow Creek is operated by MGM Resorts International and was opened in 1990 on a former patch of flat desert that was reshaped into what can only be described as an oasis. The Tom Fazio-designed layout ranks as the No. 1 public-access courses in Nevada and is No. 13 on the Golfweek’s Best ranking of all modern courses in the U.S.
Unless you’re a top-tier celebrity or a very high roller, Shadow Creek can be a tough tee time to obtain. Hopeful players must stay at an MGM resort in Las Vegas, from where they will be whisked to the golf course in a limousine. The green fee has been reported to be $1,250, and tee times are extremely limited.
Thanks to yardage books provided by PuttView – the maker of detailed yardage books for thousands of courses around the world – we can see exactly the challenges the four players face this week at Shadow Creek. Check out the maps of each hole below.

Now that the 2024 season is over and the Philadelphia Eagles have been crowned Super Bowl champs, it’s time to turn our attention to the building blocks of the 2025 season for the entire league.
It's hard to say Young established himself as a future star, but at least the Panthers go into this offseason knowing who their QB will be next season. That allows the Panthers to focus on other areas of the roster.
The Bucs had a good 2024 draft, already had a strong foundation and have to be happy to have resurrected Mayfield’s career. Tampa is in a good place as the offseason starts.
There are major questions about QB Anthony Richardson’s development and a defense that was bad again. There's talent on the roster, but it seems like it has been a while since the Colts got a lot out of a draft class.
