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.

Fun Pete Dye

I have played 2 of the 3 courses out here and caddied for my wife on the other. I have also played a few Pete Dye courses and normally I hate them but these 3 I love.

Very playable without excessive mounds or railway ties. A thoughtful design with his usually trick the eyes, hide bunkers, mounded green complexes.

Green speeds matched the conditions which was very windy. Everyone we have talked to said it is usually windy out there so expect that.

Staff was very friendly with an exception or two. Pace of play was great, but it was 20-30 MPH winds and Mother's day so not a lot of golfers.

Definitely recommend to friends and family.

Closer than you think

Took me only the 30 minutes to drive from the Strip. Great course, great pace of play. I played with 3 locals who were fun and helpful with the layout. They said all three courses here were high quality. Much better value than courses closer to the Strip. My rate was for prime time Saturday so better rates are available.

Beautiful course in the desert!

We booked this course based on reviews and we were very happy! The conditions were great, staff very friendly and beautiful scenery! It did get quite windy on the last nine holes, but we knew that was a possibility when we booked it. We paid a little more than we would normally but that did include use of practice balls and facility, cart and cooler filled with ice. There is bar, restaurant and snack stand as well. We would definitely come back when visiting Vegas again.

Pretty good

Enjoyed playing this course. The views were awesome. However I did not enjoy using the rental clubs.. most of the grips were very slick and worn down. Rentals in the condition they are in are not worth $50 in my opinion. Maybe 30$ max. The course was in good Condition but did not wow me. Greens varied in speed and were quite bumpy. 16,17,18 were kept in better condition and I enjoy those holes the best. All in all good course but for just under 200$ after rental I expected a little more.

Pure golf

Played Wolf last year and Snow Mountain in 2017. Both are outstanding. Course was in excellent shape, greens just a bit slow due to coming back from aerification, but still rolled well. All these courses are excellent Pete Dye challenges where scoring is possible but you have to think and play smart and there's plenty of trouble to avoid.

This place is so not Vegas, but is pure golf. Just you and the open sky. Love Paiute.

Kind desert course

Great course. Great staff. Weather took its toll. 30mph with gusts to 60mph. Weather is the only downside. Course and staff were great. I would love to play the course again with better weather.

fun test

The course had the best conditioned fairways. The ball sits up and is easy to get . The course is fair off the tee and will ask you to hit all your clubs into the greens. I thought it was a fun test.

Good course

Played from the white/gold tees. Course is in good shape, slower bumpy greens. Very windy during the mid day. Course from the white tees is very short distance wise.

Very nice course , great views and layout , always in good condition , tees for all levels . Our problem was that we were a two ball . By the 6th hole we were backed up . However after finishing the front nine we checked with the starter and went back and played the front 9 again which was clear and worked great . It was very cold and windy so we preferred to keep moving . We always play here when we come to Vegas
