Course Highlights
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.

amazing course

Played this course on a beautiful day. As a 16 handicap and not playing in nearly 5 months, due to MN weather, I played well. The course has room for errors, bit favors a good shot. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful Course

My second time playing here. Unfortunately, the weather was far from perfect - windy, cold with snow on the mountains in the backdrop. I was able to play much earlier than my tee time because the weather kept most players away. Played as a single and finished in 3 hours, never took off my glove and kept my right hand in my coat pocket while driving the cart. It was cold, but the course was beautiful and as with my last visit, the staff was very friendly. Will play Paiute again when visiting Las Vegas.

Challenging Course With Excellent Facilities...but far from the strip

Paiute Snow Mountain is an excellent course with lightenin quick greens and beautiful scenery. Be sure to keep your tee shot on the fairway...and don't bother to look for it if you don't. The course is far from the strip. If you're coming in from out of town, and you're staying on the strip, be prepared to spend $180 round trip on cab fares. It may be worth your while to rent a car for the day.

Always love playing Paiute

These are 3 of my favorite courses in town to play and got a great in season rate @ Golf. now. Only complaint was that almost every hole had an up front pin placement. No variety at all when shooting @ flags. Also some fairways near the greens were hardpan with very short grass. Made it difficult to chip. Other than that a very enjoyable day out.

Snow matches the wind and cold

The course itself was in outstanding condition, it was firm but fair. The greens were very consistent. However the wind was blowing at 30 - 40 MPH which made reaching or holding a green almost impossible. There are false fronts and run offs around the greens so running the ball up is not possible.

I would have loved to play this course in warmer (41 degrees wind chill) and see how it played.

Of the 3 courses on the property this one seemed to be the best cared for. Staff again was very friendly and helpful.

Recommend the yardage book if you haven't played here before.

Great looking course

The condition of the course was great. Greens were great. The only thing was the pace of play was extremely slow. They had lots of staff out driving around on the course checking things out maybe tell some people they should play from different tees

Great day at the Snow Course

It was a beautiful day at the course and this course is one of the best prepared in the valley. Only issue I could find was I didn't get there early enough to get fully warmed up at the range, which was busy but had plenty of room for us to hit. My bad and not the club's.Paired up with a father/son team from Wy. and it was a pleasure golfing with them. Bubba could crush the ball and his dad was no slouch. They were very accommodating to us as we are older and new at this so we slowed their pace down and they were very kind about it. All in all one of the best days of golf we have had in awhile.

GREAT TIME

I arrived at the course and thought my tee time was 30 minutes later. Wrong. The starters helped sort things out so that I could hit some balls on the range, then start my round. I was put together with two other singles. We jelled really well and had a great time together.

I really like this course. It was in great shape for January.

Re-play round

After a brisk 3 hour morning 18 on the Sun course our foursome took advantage of the replay and played the Snow course. Course is in great condition, layout is challenging, scenic, everything you like to see in desert golf. The only negative was the pace of play, it ended up being a 5+ hour round. Still a very good experience, will definitely be back at the Paiute resort.

Never had a bad experience here

Found a good price, and was pleasantly surprised at how fast and smooth the greens were. Pace of play was 4:45, slightly disappointing, but it was MLK day, so it was a busier than average Monday. Luckily, I wasn't time constrained, so it wasn't a huge bother.

Best conditions I've seen!

Just finished a week of golfing in Vegas, the conditions at Paiute were the best I've seen this trip. This is compared to Silverstone, Bear's Best, and Badlands (x2).

Besides the 30 MPH wind, it was a good experience! I got unlucky with the weather forecast.

Course is maintained very well. Played the "Snow" course.

pace of play

We were a foursome playing behind a twosome and in front of a threesome. At the turn the ranger asked us to pick up our pace as there were 4 open holes in front of us. We were not playing slow, in fact we finished in 3hours 40 minutes, and felt rushed and did not enjoy the back 9 as a consequence. This somewhat ruined our experience that day which was a pity because it was a beautiful day to golf.
