Snow Mountain at Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort
About
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.

The third, par-5, 557: For those who don’t drive it 300 yards, the fairway’s left side is the more favorable lay-up zone: it best opens up the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/18/2025

The fifth is a long and challenging par-4 of 458, but it’s also fair from tee to cup. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/18/2025

Your tee shot will cross the desert at the par-3 eighth. Running the ball onto the green is dangerous; the ball tends to bounce left/downhill, leaving a difficult pitch. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/18/2025

To drive this 356-yard par-4, your tee shot should cut the corner—across the desert. A great risk/reward hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/18/2025

Very Good Experience
Good layout. Great conditions.
Super Course
Speedy greens and scorable if keep ball in play (out of trouble) and are able to adjust for winds. Very enjoyable and met super guys, thanks Charlie/Paul. Til next time, Kenny Paul
Great Track
Very fun and fair course. Great views. the course was in perfect shape.
Hot!
Played on Friday, June 3rd. The course was in amazing shape. Perfect tee boxes, fairways and greens. The greens were FAST but also soft.
Teed off at 12:30pm and some of the water coolers were empty on the course. This was the only downside as it was 100+ that day.
The starter was very friendly and helpful.
I will be back to play the other courses!
The course has surprises.
What at first seems like an easy straightaway,slaps you in the face with a five woos second shot. What happened to that easy looking hole?
Great Shape!!!
This course was in fantastic shape, fairways, bunkers and greens. Everything was great
Spectacular Golf Course
Beautiful course. Incredibly windy the day we played. Manager and staff were very friendly and accommodating!
Great layout, perfect shape
Very scenic course in amazing shape! Got a great online rate and played in 3.5 hours. Couldn't have been happier.
Great course
My son and I enjoyed playing on the Snow Mountain course. The course condition was excellent; the rangers were corteous; sunny, warm, windy (10 -15 mph) and low humidity. We finished in 3-1/4 hours. Two (2) 4-foursome let us play through.
My Favorite Paiute Course
This is a great course. I really liked the layout and the course conditions. It was challenging but very fair. The practice facility is very good and the staff was great. I highly recommend this course.
Nice track but watch the wind!!
Played here in April '16 with some buddies on a golf trip. This was the last of our four rounds. The course was in great shape, not too hard, and fun to play. The only issue we had was that the winds were very strong and definitely affected the game. We spoke to a bunch of people and apparently that is the norm so it's just something to be aware of. The scenery in the area was very good, mountains and desert all around.
Food in the clubhouse was really good and service was great even though they appeared short staffed.
Would definitely consider returning there but would have to be only on a pristine day.
Best course in vegas
This course exceeded my expectations.
Course layout, condition of green and fairways are out standing.
Great course. Looking Forward to returning.
This course is an amazing layout. Even though it is about 30 minutes away from the Strip, it is worth it. Has a great combination of Par 4s, with some short and others moderately long. Really like the setup of the course, with the front 9 playing clockwise and the back playing counterclockwise. Amazing all around views. Everything is in front of you, with very little forced carries. The par 3s are a little difficult, but that's the nature of the beast. Cannot wait to play the other 2 courses there.
Beautiful course
Fairways,greens in perfect condition.You can tell its very well maintained.
Windy Yet Fun
This is a beautiful course about 30 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip. The course is challenging yet the biggest challenge I faced was the wind. It added to the challenge but I enjoyed it none the less. I played with 2 other friends and they loved it as well. Beautiful views of the mountains on every hole. Just enough water in play. The club house is expensive but very nice.
great course to play. Very nice clubhouse.
Snow Mountain is one of 3 courses at Paiute. The staff were very friendly. We would definitely return.
Paiute is always a good choice
First time playing the Snow course. I had previously played Sun and Wolf. Snow was in excellent shape all around - greens, tees, fairways and bunkers. The course is very playable for all levels of golfers as long as you choose the correct tees. Scenery is very nice as there are no houses to interfere with some spectacular mountain views. I would play any of the Paiute courses again without hesitation. Drive from the Strip is definitely worth the time. Practice facilities are also very good with no charge for range balls and a nice short game area. Paiute will always be on my list of courses to play in Vegas.
Awesome Course
I arrived early in the morning, as I had a 7:40 tee time. When I arrived it was a bit on the chilly side, I would say it was mid 50's. So if you plan to go there in the morning (this was first week of March), take a light jacket with you. I was a single and I was paired up with another single. Pace of play was excellent as there was no one in front of us and no one behind us. We stopped and admired the scenery and snapped a few pictures along the way. From the first whole to the last whole this course was definitely something to behold. The beautiful desert terrain with the mountains in the backdrop was very picturesque. All 3 of the courses here were literally out in the middle of nowhere. There was an exit off of highway 95 that (after turning right) was a road that led directly into the Pauite Clubhouse. This course was located about 35 minutes outside of Vegas, but it was well worth the drive.. The fairways were pretty forgiving for being a Pete Dye course. This particular course (Snowmass) did have a lot of water hazards, so if water makes you nervous, you might want to take a few extra sleeves of balls. The greens rolled true, and the rest of the course was in decent shape. The bunkers had quite a few rocks mixed in with the sand. And if you do hit it OB, you will probably be somewhere in the rocks or gravel (which means your ball could bounce anywhere). Overall, it was a VERY enjoyable experience. Try to go during the week if you can. I went early on a Friday and it wasn't that crowded. At $130 (and $40 for a replay), you truly do get your money's worth at this course. I would highly recommend it.
Make the Drive!
This course is beautiful, multiple tee boxes for average to Very good players. I don't typically write reviews but had to share the Great time we had on the course.
It is challenging but fair, greens were in great shape rolling about 11-12.
The staff from start to finish was great, very helpful in every aspect.
Once you play you will be hooked!
