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.

September 2024
Played the course a few years ago and wanted to come back. Was not disappointed. It’s overseeding season and the course was still in fantastic shape. Staff was very nice. Would recommend to anyone wanting to play.
Still the No1 in Vegas
This golf course has 3 18 courses that you can play Their greens is lush and the fairways and greens is well maintained. I recommend this golf course to anyone visiting Las Vegas. The only bad about this course once it’s too windy you will be up for a challenge or lost a lot of golf balls. Other than that you Must Try and play this course.
Best of the non-ultra expensive courses in Vegas
Everything was in nearly perfect condition. They must use a ton of water to keep the course so green. The course can be difficult for high handicappers who spray the ball off the tees as the dessert areas are OB. This is a must play.
Original course
This was Paiutes 1st course. Love everything about it! All the water you can’t handle lol. And the hospitality is immeasurable. Can’t wait to get back here.
Awesome course
It was one of the beat courses i ever play!
Definitely recommend to everyone!
Worth the Drive
45 Minutes from my house in Henderson to the Paiute Golf Resort. Wish it was closer..
Another beautiful round at Paiute
Everything went smooth. Had to rent clubs which were very nice. Play here every time I come to Vegas. Always in immaculate shape. Love !!
Top notch facility but cheaped out on items
Absolutely zero stations to fill up water on the entire course. Only one bottle given for the entire round. Other courses put out coolers full of bottles, have refill stations, or coolers. It's a fabulous course and a wonderful facility but they cheap out so much on water. Drink cart came around on hole 7 and 15 and charged us for water. The bar after the round had small cone cups - seriously?
Cart GPS was also cheap. Small screens, no distance from the tees, no slopes for greens. Just how far you were from the flag. No out-of-bounds areas mapped out on the carts and no signs on the course. Carts had one cooler. Towels were provided though.
It's out in the middle of the desert so there are wonderful views but it's very windy which can make it challenging.
The course is immaculate - even in late June. There is so much seeding on the course - no dry spots. The rough is a good 1-2 inches thick. Course is extremely well watered. Greens are smooth and very fast. Bunkers had light but compact sand that was watered too. Maintenance is the star of the course.
Wish there was more shade. Zero trees and no place to escape the heat, and without any water there's no way to cool off.
Course was a little backed up which was surprising for a course with 10 minute tee time intervals. We were waiting just about every hole on the back 9.
Great course,
Course in great condition, fairways impeccable greens held but still fast
Great course!
Superb condition, great practice facility! Would love to play it again when the wind isn’t blowing at 30mph. It was a tough day but had a great time. Will definitely be back! The whole facility is first class!
Beautiful Courses
My Wife and I played Sun Mountain with our good friends and had a wonderful time! Sun Mountain was magical, the views amazing. Course was in wonderful shape and constantly challenged us. We will be back again whenever we are fortunate enough to return to the area ! George and Mary G.

Extremely Slow Play
Do not play on a windy day. It was pretty windy when we played and miserable. Unbelievable slow play and no marshal. We were disappointed. 3 groups on every hole. Took nearly 3 hours to play the back 9.
Exceptional Golfing Experience at Paiute Snow Mountain Course
Wow. What a fantastic experience at Paiute Snow Mountain Course! From start to finish, the course exceeded my expectations with its pristine conditions and impeccable service.
Having previously played Paiute Wolf and Snow courses under challenging windy conditions last year, I was delighted to return to Snow Mountain this year for a round without the wind. What a difference it made! The absence of wind transformed the game into a thoroughly enjoyable experience, allowing me to fully appreciate the beauty and challenge of the course without battling the elements.
One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding condition of the practice area. From the well-maintained driving range to the meticulously groomed practice areas, every aspect of the practice facilities contributed to a fantastic warm-up session before hitting the course. It was evident that the staff at Paiute Snow Mountain Course take great pride in maintaining top-notch facilities for their guests' enjoyment.
In summary, my round at Paiute Snow Mountain Course was nothing short of exceptional. The perfect course conditions combined with the well-appointed practice area made for a memorable golfing experience. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or a casual player looking for an outstanding course, Paiute Snow Mountain Course delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended.
