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.

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!

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.

wasted drive

I intentionally booked the Paiute for a quiet getaway from the Vegas strip . I paid reluctantly, $280 for that treat. On the first tee, we were greeted by swarms of black flies . On the first green it was apparent the greens had been recently punched and had not completely heeled. Nothing noted on line this course had been shut down for the last month to regrow. The final delight was the constant drone of a small plane overhead for the entire day giving flying lessons with no concern for the golfers. Nice

Excellent conditions!

The Snow course was in perfect condition. Greens were medium-fast. My only gripe is that by 4:15pm when we finished, the Pro shop was closed. We couldn't play another 9 nor could my friend buy merchandise.

Perfect round, with only one tiny beef

It’s the best value in Vegas for golf. Bar none. This is the place to golf. Trust me. You’ll be glad you did.

My only complaint, and it’s a tiny one but to me it matters. You gotta have a hot dog for less than $10. I don’t want my hot dog wrapped in bacon, and I don’t want chips. Heck, I’d be fine with $8.

I wound up going down from the dining room to the turn shack and buying one from them bc the dining room has bacon wrapped dogs. $10 is too much. Otherwise, restaurant has great breakfast, the staff is good, and the courses are all spectacular.

Played this course on a golf trip with others. Despite my poor play, I still loved this course. The grounds crew has done a marvelous job maintaining the course condition despite a lot of play.

Just wow

I’ve played probably 100 or so different courses over my short 7 year career so far, and this makes my top 3. Unbelievable conditions and a layout that is just simply put, fun. Green are fast and not always easy to read…some of the greens are on the smaller side, too! This course is pretty easy to drive the ball in the fairway on, but the challenge is in the greens! Do not hesitate to come play this one. Well worth the $.
