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

Nice layout
The course was in great shape. Look forward to playing there again in the future.
Slow play
Marshall would not tell the men to pick up the pace
Best I've played in the Vegas area
My first time to play here and I will be back, course is in excellent condition, snow mountain is a fair layout, I played from the white tees and had a great time, the wild life alone is worth the trip, beautiful vistas, can't wait to play again.
Great Place for Golf
We had played the Wolf course last year and knew from that experience the other courses had to be played. The whole experience is what is expected from a high caliber golf course. We look forward to spending our entire golf trip at Paiute next year.
Golf
Played it when first opened & it is a great course. Will play it anytime.
Must play - Paiute Snow
We normally play the Wolf when visiting Las Vegas, but we decided to branch out this time. We played the Snow course 2 consecutive days, Tues and Wed. Tuesday was pretty awful, after 4.5 hours and 4 holes left to play, we bagged it. The marshal explained that there were 4 groups ahead that didn't speak any English, so they were having trouble getting them to pick up the pace. Returned the next day and it was an altogether different experience! Much more relaxed, excellent pace of play, and we really got to enjoy the Snow course. Would definitely play here again! I think having the Sun course closed for maintenance definitely impacted the operation, too. As one person said, they had 3 golf courses worth of folks on 2 golf courses on Tuesday. Not good, but they made up for it on Wednesday. Love Paiute!
The only course on this trip that wasn't cart path only.
Course was in good shape and my wife and I were paired with two gentlemen who were great to play with
Canadian review
Great course in the desert area.
Greens and fairways were in great condition. Staff was very friendly.
Got this round on golfnow. Fantastic deal so I can't comment on value of course because we got this round dirt cheap.
Staff was extremely friendly.
Clubhouse was very nice .
Facility not match stars
View is excellent, but no sign for number of hole, gps is a cheap one, every tee box almost not flat, n the cup edge is damaged on every hole, other than that is in more that expect condition
Out-of-Towner First Time
The course was in great shape, fairways and greens well maintained. Would recommend to anyone near the strip to drive out to this great course. As a 20 or so handicap, this course provided some tough holes, but fairways provided some relief on my drives. Great course that I hope to play again.
A beautiful facility!
Even with recent reseeding, the course was a wonderful day out. Great golf architecture.
Great day on the course
Fantastic in every respect. I really enjoy the lush conditions. Greens were perfect, too.
Great course
Course is in great shape, 35 min drive from strip well worth it. Will definitely be going back on our next trip.
Great value
Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, great weather. I never played a bunker. Greens were in excellent shape. Fairways were wide and even. Will be back. Too many staffers to interact with, so it was difficult to decide how to tip each one...from a bag drop attendant to a starter, to a club cleaner who's different from the starter, etc. Overall, we enjoyed this outing.
WOW! What a resort!
Driving into the middle of the desert you don't expect to anything other than rocks and wasteland!
The sea of sprinklers gave it away but if you hadn't seen them you wouldn't have even realised there were 3 golf courses right there.
Snow mountain as a layout is fantastic and at 7146 is more than playable. A mix of tough par 4's with risk reward carries over water, and a few reachable par 4's, strong par 3's again over water and scramble par 5's. The 11th is a notable hole at 611 yards but yet plays easier than the others at 530-550?
Greens rolled good and had a fair few subtle breaks which until you see the ball rolling would have you thinking otherwise.
Fairways were in excellent shape and the bunkers consistent and fair.
My playing partners and I couldn't find fault with the course and the stunning 360 views just add to the playing experience.
Personally I would say this course is easier than the Wolf course as its a bit wider and a touch shorter.
However if I played here everyday of the week I wouldn't be upset at all!
grea tvalue
course is green not burned a bit 110 degrees still green greens are very good
Always in impeccable shape.
Another fabulous day at the Paiute. Nothing could have been any better. Course is in great condition. Greens super smooth. Definitely a place to continue to support a unlike a course I played today. Rather give my money to a friendly course than a snooty one.
What a beautiful course!
Paiute is low key , the course is in incredible shape and it was an overall great place to golf.
Snow Mountain - Awesome!!
What can I say that hasnt been said already? This is one of my favorite courses in Vegas, about a 30 minute drive out of the city. I played Snow Mountain this time, but all 3 Paiute courses are always in excellent shape. You can't go wrong with any of them. Staff is always friendly and professional. They are very nice to locals too. Why gamble on your golf outing? Choose Paiute and you're good to go!
