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

Vegas 2014
Always excellent the Snow is the first course and he one I played originally first coming to Paiute when it opened. Beautiful conditions and the golf is always excellent. I look forward to coming back in the Spring of 2015.
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.
Great spot to play
I was lucky enough to play Snow Mountain which is a challenging but very fair golf course. The conditions of the course were pretty amazing especially since we tee'd off at 1:30 after a tournament. The greens were very good and the rest of the course was also very green.
I am looking forward to getting back to Las Vegas and playing the other two courses at Paiute!
Always a treat
Everything about Paiute is great. Recommend highly for both men and women. We look forward to playing there again.
Worth the drive...
This course is just a 30 min drive from the Strip to allow full desert course experience.
Great course
The course was in great shape, be prepared for it being windy.
Beautiful Course!
The course is awesome! No maintenance while playing 18 holes. Groups are spread nicely. No waiting on the tee box. I would definitely recommend this course to all my friends!! Thank you
Great value in Las Vegas
Second time I've played the course in the past 3 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. At a time when many Vegas courses are over seeding, it was a pleasure to play a course in such good condition. Especially loved the greens.
Oasis in the Desert
Very nice round. Practice facility is outstanding (and is included in your round). As most say, if you can get this on your GolfNow round for under $36, it is extremely worth it.
Staff is par none, and with the facility out by itself in the desert, plan on eating at the restaurant, it is fantastic with a very nice menu selection. I played the snow, and look forward to returning to play the sun and wolf. Only down side is the wind can become a nuisance
this course is great
i would regamend this course to anyone it is a very good course to play
Just a enjoyable place to golf for me.
Paiute Snow course was in great shape. The greens and the rough around the greens were challenging. All the staff from when we arrived to when we departed were friendly and helpful. I thought we also got a great value, would definitely play there again.
The course conditions were great.
Everything was ready to go upon arrival even though I only scheduled my tee time a couple of hours ahead of time. The course was in great shape, but the layout containing a large number of doglegs to the left is quite challenging for golfers who predominantly hit fades. Overall a great experience.
Beautiful course away from Las Vegas spawl
Thoroughly enjoyed the round at the Snow course. Peaceful location, only desert and mountains surround this beautiful Pete Dye course. The greens have multiple grasses but rolled true and fast. Fairway wide enough to have a enjoyable time, but challenging approaches make you work for your score. Some very nice water holes. Course kept in very good condition. Can get windy but worth the trip just minutes north of Las Vegas.
Return to Snow Mnt.
I first played this course in the late 90s on a trip from Syracuse. Always a great memory, so good in fact I'm retiring in LV, along with getting out of the snow in NY.
The trip from town to the course was shorter than I remember so we arrived early, got some attitude from the desk guy but the starters got us on the course after a warm-up. As good as I remember. I'll be back when I move here.
Didn't have any bar time, but there is a great deck.
Rogiton
Course is on great condition
In the middle of the desert is this oasis of green. The fairways are immaculate and the greens were perfect. The day was a little windy so shots were difficult to judge but the bunkers had plenty of sand to work with. Overall, a perfect day of golf!
great course
The course was in great shape. I wish is was closer to town, or at least my side of town. The weather was great. one of the top courses to play in Vegas.
Paiute is the best golf operation in Las Vegas
This is a really well run golf operation. I've played the Sun and the Snow courses, and found both to be terrific. The greens and fairways were in great shape, players seem to actually fill divots and repair ball marks on this course. I played alone, and followed a twosome. We got around in three hours and fifteen minutes. It is worth the half hour drive to play here. I will come back every time I'm in Las Vegas.
mind games
Boy Pete sure makes you think. This course plays with the mind. you gotta play it.
Always a great experience
Pauite is IMO hands down the best course to play in LV. I play it every time I come to Vegas. There may be a handful of courses that are slightly more challenging, but none of the $300+ course I have played have better course conditions or a better staff. This time was no different. The green were near perfect and the fairways were like lush carpet. And, BTW, the views are incredible. Overall, a memorable golf experience.
Paiute Golf
Paiute Golf has three courses to choose from, the Sun, Snow, and Wolf. I had previously only played the Snow course until recently when I was able to get on the Wolf. I can't comment on the Sun course because I have not played it-YET!!
Any of these courses are a great value but the Wolf is special. I recommend that you give any of these courses a look if you are anywhere near Las Vegas.
