While the top casino and golf destination used to be Las Vegas and not much else, these days there are great golf-and-gaming destinations from coast to coast, including most Midwestern states and Southwestern hotbeds like Scottsdale, Palm Springs and San Diego.Ĭasino owners often times don't feel the need to make money on the golf course itself, but rather provide them as an amenity to visiting whales who need a break from the tables. Whether you're a gambler or not, golfers have casinos to thank for building some of the country's best modern public golf courses.
