There are three championship courses at Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, all of which were designed by Pete Dye. Snow Mountain is the original course, joined by Sun Mountain, which is considered the easiest of the three, and Wolf is the newest and most challenging.

At over 7,600 yards, Wolf is also the longest course in Nevada but Snow Mountain is quite lengthy as well at 7,146 yards. Dye incorporated his signature railroad-tie bunkers and water comes into play on seven holes. This risk-reward layout is known for having the best par-3s at the resort. One of these is the stunning 16th hole with its panoramic view of Sheep Mountain. It requires a long carry over water but the bailout area to the right provides a relatively easy up and down and the greenside bunkers don't usually come into play.

Also known as Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort - Nu-Wav-Kaiv Course.

A beautiful golf oasis in the desert!

This was my first time playing Snow - I have played Sun and Wolf. The course was in pristine condition and I found it very fun and interesting. The clubhouse is also great and the food is good.

Outstanding course!

I have played snow twice and I love it! It is beautifully presented, reasonably challenging and great fun. The staff are very warm and the pro shop is terrific. Pace of play is never an issue and the greens are fast with tricky pin placements. Its a must play course for anyone visiting Nevada.

Snow, Sun, Wolf: Pick Your Poison

All three Paiute courses—Snow, Sun, and Wolf—tested you in different ways, with stunning views of the Sheep and Spring mountains on every hole. A few tee boxes needed attention, but the fairways, bunkers and greens were otherwise immaculate and in excellent condition. Pace of play was fast and well managed by marshals who will firmly remind you to keep moving if you're falling behind. The hot cart girl came by every 3-4 holes and made arguably one of the best transfusions we've ever had.

Be warned about going out of bounds into the desert—getting out of the gravel and cacti wasteland is extremely difficult and will almost certainly cost you penalty strokes (and possibly damaged clubs). Also note that the weather and course conditions vary significantly depending on your tee time. It's frequently windy at Paiute, so factoring the wind into your shot decisions is critical. AM tee times often bring strong, cold winds and super firm, fast greens, while PM tee times tend to have calmer winds and softer greens.

My buddies and I had a fantastic time playing all three courses over three days and would absolutely love to play here again. Highly recommended if you’re in the Las Vegas area and want an unforgettable, authentic desert golf experience.
