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.

Pretty solid

The course was beautiful, the staff friendly. The only drawback was the heartiness of the grass making rough shots difficult,

Some very fun holes, bring your wind game

All was good on the course, in great shape, and fun, but there was a marshall who came around and just stared at us, never said anything, even though we were keeping up with the group in front of us. What's up with that?

Difficulty depends on weather conditions

A nice layout and well maintained. The day I played the winds were 15-25 mph, with higher gusts. Apparently this is not unusual, although I returned 2 days later to play the Sun course and the winds were much calmer. In wind, it can be a difficult course. Positives: nice layout with many doglegs, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff. Negatives: slow pace of play, unpredictable wind conditions.

stunning and enjoyable course

Played the 36 hole special on the Snow and Wolf Course. Visually, the course is stunning. You have to drive a little ways out of town, about 30 min from the strip. It is totally worth the drive. The course is absolutely beautiful and cleverly designed with many risk and reward holes. Many man made lakes and hilly fairways. We played on a day where the wind was very strong 25+ MPH. It played murder on so many shots. Little slices and hooks would carry the ball to the adjacent fairway. I hit a 342 yrd drive, I only average 275. It wind even affected putts. It was one of those days. But my buddies and I were having so much fun, trying crazy shots. The marshall was really on the ball moving things along on the course. You will want to stop at a pawn shop before and pick up a cheap "rock club." There are rocks surrounding each hole. If you miss the fairway and rough you will hit off rocks. Protect your precious clubs by having a club you can just destroy. It is a must if you plan on playing this course. I highly suggest this course. The fairways and greens were pristine, the layout is fun and creative, the views are outstanding, and the staff our friendly and helpful. It was a very memorable experience and totally worth the money. The island green on the 15th hole on the Wolf course is such a stunning experience. It is a must see!

Beautiful course. On-course staff friendly, club house staff not so much.

Beautfully designed and constructed course, blending into the environment in a wonderful manner. We loved it. Well maintained, greens rolled nicely but tricky. It was fun seeing a road runner running down the cart path.

Consistently outstanding

I travel to Vegas at least once a year and play 3 to 4 rounds of golf each trip. Vegas offers a great selection of courses and we've played just about every track. Each of the courses at Paiute are a treat and for the money I always make it a point to play one of them each time we're out here.

Windy but great golf

The winds were expected after reading numerous reviews. Course was in very nice condition for February. Fairways were green and offered extra yardage with long rolls. Greens were in great shape, albeit hard and a bit quick but not difficult. The wind was probably the biggest obstacle where on many holes it will literally knock your drive down or push it clear across the fairway. Picture window dining area overlooks the 18th green and showcases a beautiful view of the mountains. Looking forward to trying Sun Mtn. or the Wolf next time.

Challenging but fair.

This marked the second time I played a Paiute course, and I'll keep coming back everytime I visit Vegas from here on out. The course is challenging but fair for an high handicapper such as myself. Conditions were great, pace was terrific for a Saturday afternoon, and the staff could not have been more accommodating.

Beauty and the Beast

This Course offers great golf and great oppportunity! As long as you hit the fairways and the wind is manageable it sets up to play some great shots; but if you can't keep it on the green grass or the wind gets stiff it will knock your teeth out. Ideal for mid to low handicappers. I would not attempt as a beginner. Loved the challenge of layout with water inter-mixed. Greens were speedy and smooth.

Great layout

Service was tremendous.... Carts were fast and newer, with GPS. Three courses to choose from. When you drive there you think you GPS is broken since you are in the middle of nowhere, but keep going. Did not see a building or house from anywhere on the course.....
