Snow Mountain's strategic layout rewards bold risk-reward decisions across doglegged fairways, water hazards, and elevation changes that consistently captivate golfers. Immaculate conditions, friendly staff, and reliable pace of play make this desert course an exceptional value.

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.

Oasis in the desert

The Snow Mountian course is a true gem. The course is located in the middle of the desert. It is truly a desert oasis. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are well-manicured. The course is challenging, but the layout and beauty of the course lessen the sting of the challenge. The pro shop and restaurant easily cause you to forget you are in the heart of the desert, and the staff is the best. I highly recommend any and all visitors to the Vegas area to enjoy a round of golf at The Paiute Golf Resort.

Snow Mountain

Awesome course layout. I have played the wolf for the distance and gimmick island green. Snow Mountain is just a very pristine golf course. Greens rolled true and there wasn't much wind.

Best Value in Vegas

The original course at the Paiute resort still holds up today. It is imminently more playable than the Wolf course and has lots of risk/reward opportunities that keep players engaged throughout. Holes like 1, 3, and 7 are the prime examples of this. Other holes like 16 and 18 simply demand good shots if you want to make par. The course was in immaculate condition and the greens were the perfect speed for the slopes they had. This is likely the most enjoyable of the three courses at Paiute and I would play it again in a heartbeat. The Golfapalooza package is a tremendous deal which gets you 36 holes of golf and lunch for a very reasonable price.

Best conditions in LV

Played here today in around 4 hrs. This is THE best course conditions I've seen it in ages. The rough is penalizing, fairways are well taken care of and greens are fast.

Paiute never disappoints. Yes, it's windy. Get over it. It's worth coming here to play/ practice. Staff gets an A++++ with covid precautions.

A MUST PLAY - best course conditions by far unless you're a member at a private club.

Best of the 3

Snow Mountain is the best of the 3 courses at Paiute in my opinion. This was my 2nd time playing it and I now like it even more. Be warned I will be back.

Beautiful Course tarnished by wind.

Always in great shape but you can’t avoid wind. Not talking a light breeze. Feels like a small hurricane every time.

All the Paiute Courses are great and some of the best golfing ever

I played Snow, Sun and Wolf on the same week and honestly, all 3 were the same level of excellence and loved all of them. While I played Snow and Sun early int he week when the wind was whipping hard it was fun. Wolf was Thursday the same week and calm by that time and the Island Green was excellent. You could pick any of the 3, play it forward depending on your handicap and it will be a top 10 golf experience for sure.
