Rating 73.0

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.

Fantastic

This course is in excellent condition. Paiute plays tough in the wind, and then throw firm fast greens into the equation making par an accomplishment. Definitely recommend this course for more experienced players rather than beginners.

Great conditions as always

Course is in great shape. Worth the drive versus other courses in town. Pace of play was an issue, but it was a great day to be outside.

Paiute Golf Resort - Snow Course

Today was our first time to play the Snow Course. The fairways were immaculate. Greens had been sanded yesterday, bot were still smooth and very quick. As with many Pete Dye courses greens were challenging but starters advise was quite helpful. I’m not a frequent Vegas person but these 3 courses could bring me back.

Special place for golf

This is a spectacular golf course. I seem it a must play. The best fairways I've ever seen in late August ANYWHERE in North America. I've played a lot of golf in many different places, too. I can't imagine a better set of circumstances to place late summer golf. Thunderstorms, and not much rain. But, cool temps for the desert. Thank you golf gods.

Coach Mantle @ Paiute Golf Resort

Played Snow Mountain… Pete Dye never disappoints ! Course in immaculate shape. Challenging. Played from Gold Tees (6700 yards)… only hiccup was sharing a cart. Kind of an odd request during COVID times. Nice easy drive from Summerlin n the strip. Good stuff.

One of the best course I have ever played

Played the snow course in early July. Played with a couple of members. They were great and helpful. Greens were severely fast and true. Fairways were like a thick carpet. Rough was penalizing. Felt like I was playing PGA tour course.

The starter was very helpful on advice of how to approach the course and greens

Worth the money. Will definitely be back

Best Public Courses in Vegas

All three of these courses are immaculate, the greens are true and fast. The bunkers are full of white soft like any good fourth club or great tour venue that will cost a lot more than these courses. The pro shop staff is friendly and helpful with everything and anything you could possibly want within reason. There are Marshall’s that keep the courses playing at a decent pace for a public golf course on a holiday weekend.

Terrible Marshals

First the good, absolutely amazing course in an amazing setting. No water restrictions so the course was pure in every way. Great clubhouse, cart staff was great.

The bad, played the round in a 3 1/2 hour pace and were harassed by the marshals a half dozen times to hurry up. Local's behind us were very rude and the situation made the round very unenjoyable and stressful. Really poor on their staffs part and the only reason I'd go back is because the course is so amazing.

If you go here be ready to be rushed the whole round, even felt rushed as a quick golfer.
