Golfers convened at Craig Ranch Golf Course to play one last round at the 47-year-old course at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 1, 2009 Following the game, City officials at 3:30 p.m. swung their clubs at clumps of dirt in a ceremony signaling the official groundbreaking for the project that will turn the golf course into a 135-acre premier regional park.

The site was settled by pioneers in 1905. It was farmed by the McFarland family, who struggled to keep the ranch viable despite the challenging terrain and frequent floods that washed out the lowest part of the property where they built their home. In 1925, they abandoned the ranch. George Craig with his wife and four children took over the ranch in late 1920s. After 20 years of battling the harsh desert and flash floods, the Craigs sold the land to John Stimson, a Utah businessman who turned the ranch into a golf course by the early 1960s.

The golf course had several owners until 2005, when the City bought it with funds granted by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act. From the outset, the City envisioned creating a regional park that would become a recreation destination for Southern Nevada.

Craig Ranch Golf Course closed in 2009.
