407: Las Vegas Golf Prices Are Out of Control

Las Vegas golf prices are testing the loyalty of local golfers—and making affordable tournaments harder to run. In Episode 407 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt explains why the Vegas Golf Network is ending and how rising green fees, limited weekend availability, and the work behind the scenes influenced his decision.

Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan debate whether courses are delivering enough value for their prices, why local players still matter in a tourist market, and what future community golf outings could look like.

The crew also digs into the Internet Invitational, including the Duke debate, standout players, Big John’s unusual putter, and whether shorter episodes would improve the viewing experience. Plus, Joe shares his Metallica experience at Sphere, Matt recounts a stolen-wallet ordeal, and the conversation turns to protecting your golf clubs.

To close out the golf talk: are practice-stamped premium golf balls worth buying, and how do you find the right ball for your game?

What’s your limit for a weekend round? Share your city, typical green fee, and the course you think still delivers great value.
