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.

Serene and rewarding

The attention to detail is admirable. The grounds, the facilities and the course are spotless. The staff is ready and attentive without being over the top. Cold water is available every three holes
The fairways and the greens are firm. I was forewarned by the starter that the greens were recently aerated and thus ran slow. The fairways are wide and the greens undulations are around the perimeters,
I teed off at 2:45 and the pace of play on the front 9 was superb. The back 9 slowed terribly. I was stuck behind a 2-some and a 4-some who must have treated the beverage cart as though it was the 19th hole. By the 16th hole I had caught up on every email, read 2 days worth of twitter feeds, and cleaned every club in my bag, at which point I decided to bail. No sense in playing under those circumstances.

Update as to plugging fairways and greens

We felt taken a bit as the fairways had been plugged and the greens top dressed recently and they didn't tell us and they charged us the rack rate of $125. Should have let us know and/or offered a discount. Great 3 courses but would have been good to been alerted to the recent maintenance.

Nice course

Unfortunately I played after they had recently airified the greens so they were very bumpy and covered in sand. When the course is in good condition it's fun to play.

Paiute is Superb

I've played all 3 Paiute courses numerous times, and I am never disappointed. The courses are always in spectacular condition, the staff members are always friendly and helpful, and the prices are generally the best in all of Vegas for championship style golf. I knew that Paiute had suffered a lot of storm damage from the winter, but you'd never know it playing there now. They have done a magnificent job getting the courses back into premier condition. I wasn't disappointed this time, and I've never been disappointed playing there in the past. Pace of play could have been a little better, although it wasn't terrible. They do a good job of letting you enjoy your round without pushing you, but also without affecting the folks behind you. Best golf in all of Vegas.

Las Vegas Delight

Basically you cannot go to Vegas & not play this course. Better for the pure hitter as a couple of the par 3's are over water. Only played Snow Mountain, will be playing all courses next visit.

Cold windy round

Great staff... very friendly. Course was a fun, challenging layout which my son and I enjoyed immensely. The weather, however, was equally challenging... quite cold and very windy. The course conditions were very good as well.

Worth the ride

If staying in Vegas, the ride is about 35 - 45 minutes and worh the extra ride if you have a rental, but not sure I'd try it in a cab with so much other great golf in the area. The course and resort are pretty isolated with no develpment nearby, so views are unobstructed, though the immediate area does not show a great deal of contour. Course has the usual Dye contours around and on the greens. Several tee boxes.

Snow mountain

Our tee time conflicted with a shotgun tournament. We were delayed our start nearly an hour. Staff confusion at first tee was extremely aggravating, Under 5 hours once we got going.. Beautiful course.

Unbelievable beauty north of Las Vegas

Played this course with a couple buddies while on a trip to Vegas. What a treat. Got a pretty good rate to play on Golfnow.com, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was truly an afternoon to remember!

Worth It

The course was excellent. Located just at the base of the mountains and 25 minutes from the strip it was perfect to get to. After our round we enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the sun set on the mountains. Thanks to PGA pro Tom Fisher and his staff. The Pro Shop had a great selection and something for everyone, in fact all 4 of us bought something to remember the trip.

Would play it again

Round was good very windy that day. My wife and I were paired with two guys who didn't seem to know golf etiquette. It was annoying but we played our own game and aside from the windy conditions had a great round. This is our second time playing this course and will definitely play it again.

Nice place to visit

It's out in the middle of nowhere, so bring whatever you think you'll need with you, or prepare to pay. Views of the mountains are pretty spectacular and the course is in terrific shape. Played with some locals and thoroughly enjoyed the round.
