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.

Oasis in the desert
The Snow Mountian course is a true gem. The course is located in the middle of the desert. It is truly a desert oasis. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are well-manicured. The course is challenging, but the layout and beauty of the course lessen the sting of the challenge. The pro shop and restaurant easily cause you to forget you are in the heart of the desert, and the staff is the best. I highly recommend any and all visitors to the Vegas area to enjoy a round of golf at The Paiute Golf Resort.
Great course
I've played numerous courses in the Vegas area. This is absolutely a top value. The course was in perfect condition. If I lived there, I would make it my number 1. The pro shop has great shirts and hats that I haven't seen at other courses. The patio bar view looks like a post card. Can't say enough good things about this place.
Really enjoyed this course! The conditions were fantastic and the course was very challenging. This was our favorite course during our visit and we will be back!
Well maintained
Great course in great shape. Was in town on vacation and glad I was able to play here. Played the first day on the Sun course and liked it, so booked a tee time the next day for Snow.
Excellent Conditions
Very good conditions. Greens were plush, smooth, and running fast.
Would never hesitate booking a tee time here.
Best course in Vegas
Not much to be said. It’s phenomenal. Everything about it is top notch.
Great shape
This course is in great shape, especially for the middle of the summer.
Experience would help figuring out the green speeds - not a lot of undulation but deceptively fast for lush greens.
Best 54 Hole Facility in America !!
Las Vegas Paiute Resort is that good. Year after year when I go to Vegas I always play a course at the Paiute Resort. I play there because I always know what I am getting: unbelievable conditions, nothing compares in Vegas, great practice facilities, and awesome staff. I have played just under 500 different courses in America and they are represented by a logo ball in one of my racks. Usually when I travel I don't play a course I have already played, I want to get a new logo ball for the rack and get close to that 500th different course. There is one exception though THE LAS VEGAS PAIUTE RESORT. All three courses are fantastic and they never disappoint.
Best value and golf course conditions in Vegas area
Course always in perfect condition. Pace of place usually very good. Everything at Paiute is exceptional.
Amazin Course. FOH staff worst I've ever encountered
I have played many of the top 100 courses in the world and this course ranks right up there. The fairways and greens are tremendous and that all in a desert.
The only real complaint I have is the check-in staff were incredibly rude. Yelling at one of the players, arguing with another player. It was really something.
It might seem minor, but that's the only reason I gave it four stars. Fix this and its a 5 star in my books every day of the week!
Worth the drive
If you’re playing golf in the Vegas area all 3 courses are worth playing. Being from the Sandhills area of NC people love to talk about Mike Stranz’ Tobacco Road. I would argue the layouts of these courses gives Tobacco Road a run for its money in regards to layout and the visual “trickery.” While there are no blind tee shots there are a lot of tee shots that will make you second guess your aim points and choice of club.
Undulations on the fairways provides the opportunity to hit a variety of shots that many other courses won’t give you. And playing in July the conditions were immaculate (not counting the wind but that’s part of playing the game).
Greens were fair in terms of speed and breaks. I would make the case that because of the course conditions being so good you almost trick yourself into thinking they are stimping at 15 which they were not when i played.
As for advice:
If you normally play tees with a yardage around 6500 but played this course from the blacks and it was the perfect distance. I used more of my clubs than i do in a typical round back east. You will get more distance if you’re used to playing at sea level. To that point sacrifice distance to keep the ball on the short grass. This being desert golf wayward drives or approaches that find the rocks are pretty much gone.
Paiute Snow Must Play
One example of the 3 great courses at Paiute. Always excellent conditions and just the right amenities. Very playable from the white tees. Highly recommend
Fabulous course
One of my favorites when visiting Las Vegas. The conditions are always terrific. Greens are fast and yet receptive. Fairways and rough are lush and well maintained. Played in 3 1/2 hours in a threesome. The range and chipping/putting areas are outstanding too. Three great courses!
