Slope 140
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.

Great Golf Course

We were hoping for a well maintained, somewhat difficult course. Sun Mountain exceeded our expectations. Tremendous course. Outstanding greens, lush fairways, beautiful beach sand, and great employees. If we had stayed in Las Vegas longer I would have definitely tried to book a time on the other course. If you have a chance to play this course, take it.

My New Favorite Vegas Course – Sorry TPC!

I’ve played a lot of courses around Vegas—including TPC Las Vegas, which is usually my go-to—but Paiute completely exceeded my expectations.

The course was in pristine condition from tee to green. The fairways were lush, the greens rolled true, and the overall layout was both challenging and fun without being overly punishing. But what really stood out were the breathtaking desert and mountain views—it felt like every hole had a picture-perfect backdrop.

Facilities were top-notch. From the clubhouse to the practice range, everything was well-maintained and clearly designed with the golfer in mind. Staff was friendly and professional, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere.

For the price, there’s nothing that even comes close to the value you get here in the Vegas area. It’s hands down the best bang for your buck—quality golf at a fraction of what you’d pay elsewhere.

I honestly loved it more than TPC Vegas, and that says a lot. This will definitely be my new must-play course every time I’m in town. If you’re debating where to play, don’t think twice—Sun Mountain at Paiute is the place to go.

Great condition.

Great condition but gosh the weather was bad… also the course was pretty empty ahead of us and they pair us with other people. Dislike that very much.

Outstanding

Played the Sun at 11:30 and finished 18 holes in 3-1/2 hours. The course is in excellent condition. Never had any workers or sprinklers on. The Greens were also in excellent condition. Most golf courses in Las Vegas have a water restrict ion and I assume Paiute does not. Don’t waste your money elsewhere. This is the place. There are 3 courses to choose from. Book on GOLFNOW. My wife and I were paired up with another 2 people. Never waited on one hole. Best golf in Vegas.

Play Pauite!!!

The golf course is in great shape pre-aeration. Course layout is challenging and beautiful. We expected wind and it blew about 10-15mph Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We started around 12 and finished in 4 hours 10 mins. Pace of play was fast. I highly recommend Pauite and will play again when I return to Vegas!

Great course,

The course is in great condition. It’s nice to see a golf range where you can hit off real grass. If it’s windy in town it’s blowing hard out on this course. We had perfect spring weather. Take a drive north of Las Vegas it’s worth the trip.
