Rating 73.4

At the Sun Mountain course at the Las Vegas Paiute Resort, Pete Dye uses the rolling terrain in an almost links-style design.

Straying from fairways can put you in the fescue grass, but this isn't the ball-gobbling fescue you'd expect from Dye. If anything Sun Mountain plays easier than Snow Mountain. The 140 slope rating from the back tees might even seem a little inflated when you're out on the course.

Which isn't to say it's a complete pushover. It's still a Dye after all. It still has bunkers you'll remember. Or lose sleep over.

Take the green-guarding bunker on the 219-yard par-3 14th. It is so steep in front that you almost have to hit the ball straight up in the air to get it out successfully. Some hackers become so unnerved by this bunker that they hit out backward, going back toward the fairway to escape. Yes, even at his kindler, gentler best, Pete Dye can make golfers retreat on a course.

Sun does not hit you with much water, but it makes good use of the vast Paiute landscape. There are huge desert areas between the holes, giving each hole a sense of isolation. You're not going to be observing someone's shank on a parallel fairway.

Also known as Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort - Tav-Ai-Kaiv Course.

Rained Out

Was in Vegas for a few days over the weekend with the family. Played Wolf and Snow a few years ago. Came and played with my 15 year old son. Started out perfect weather. Not too hot, not windy, perfect. Then Rain, Wind, Thunder, Lightening.

Left after the 7th hole.

Would love a rain check if possible for me and my son. Will be back.’

Wonderful, challenging course

I’m local to Las Vegas and have played all three Paiute courses. These are all excellent Pete Dye designs about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. The Sun course is sort of the middle course in terms of difficulty. It is both challenging and fair with several shorter par 4s. Because they are on a reservation they pump their own water so the course is in excellent condition, especially during hot summer months when other Las Vegas courses brown up. I’d highly recommend Sun, though pace of play can be an issue on weekends if groups hit and search into the desert. There is no nearby hotel or amenities other than the clubhouse restaurant which is okay and has a nice view.

Great round

Staff was good. Extremely strict with the tournament happening the following weekend. Course was beautiful and rate of play was fair. Be prepared to lose, and gain, a few balls when your not on the fairways. All in all a great experience and will definitely play again.
