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.

A solid course with a good layout

A good track. Nice use of sand and water to make shorter holes challenging. Greens were a bit hard but rolled true.

Worth the trip!

If you haven't played Paiute Sun, Snow, or Wolf, it's definitely worth the 40 minute drive from the Las Vegas strip. You can't go wrong on either of the three courses. Snow Mountain was in very good condition despite the Summer 2013 flood, and I would highly recommend Wolf if you can get on. Beautiful desert setting, extremely well-manicured, and awesome staff.

slowest round in the history of golf

This place has been under a real hardship over the last 2 months….that being said there is no excuse for letting slow play destroy everyones round on a golf course. The ranger that came out said that there was nothing they could do about it and that is pure BS. I paid $68 to play 9 holes because nobody wanted to enforce a real pace of play. It took 3 hours and 10 minutes to play the front 9 and when we finished the 9th hole there was at best 25 minutes of sunlight remaining so we left. Completely unacceptable!!

Looking forward to a return trip when all courses are open

Nice facility 25 mins from the strip. 3 Courses but only Snow Mtn open currently due to the floods that damaged the other two a couple of months ago.

Excellent practice facility, nice pro-shop, decent bar, didn't eat at restaurant but it looked fine. Cart girl frequent and pleasant.

Course well maintained, greens fast and tricky. Bit backed up but to be expected with only one course open.

Unusual GPS system that was as much as 10 yards off in instances, lined up 3 carts at one hole and all had different readings. That was the only real downside.

one of the finest courses I have ever played. When our group of golfers goes to Las Vegas to play for 4=5 days we always play Paiute twice.

Great course layout. Fabulous views of the mountains and the desert. The course has been in super condition every time I have played it (approx. 12 times) It has one of the best views from its clubhouse in Las Vegas.

definitely worth the half hour drive

played 36 in July. Las Vegas was 110 degrees. Paiute is only about 10 degrees less, but dry. Though the resort is about 30 miles outside of LV, it is worth the drive. Played 2 of the 3 courses and they were fantastic. Wonderful fairways and greens in the middle of the desert.

Desert gem

I have played all three Paiute courses more than once and can't say enough about what a unique beautiful layout each course has . Snow mountain is so well maintained, very challenging when the wind conditions pick up, the water and sand hazards add a significant level of difficulty despite generous fairways . I've played many of the Vegas area courses over the years , and will always come back to Paiute for its natural beauty, excellent conditions , and pace of play .

Great Course!

From what we were told this is the 1st built of the 3 Paiute golf courses. It is the 2nd one we have played in two days. And it stood up to the ratings other golfers have given it here on GolfNow! Not only is it challenging but beautiful too. And the higher elevation and mountain valley ensures a cooler round than courses in Las Vegas. I can't wait until our next trip!

The best turf conditions I've seen in this area

Friendly staff, excellent turf conditions, great Pete Dye layout (snow). Hard to imagine what could ruin such conditions on my first visit here. Unfortunately two of the three players i was paired with were extremely poor players and took far to long to play which caused us to struggle to keep up in position on course. Rangers were aware and encouraged us to play faster but these two gentleman did not have a clue. Spent inordinate amount of time searching in desert for balls that were not to be found slowing pace of play terribly. I will be back in hopes of a pairing with more accomplished players ( who might break 150, or finish in under 4.5 hrs).

Best I played while in Vegas

The snow course was in great shape and was very challenging especially when the wind picked up on the back 9. I played 3 other courses while in Vegas, but this one stands out as the best. The staff was a little bit grumpy, but that's vegas I guess. Rent a car from the strip to drive out there as its about a 30 min drive into the middle of barren land.
