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 Course!

It's long, but set in the middle of the desert making it literally like an oasis. It's a beautiful, well taken care of course. A bit windy, but it was a great challenge. I'll play here again soon!

Vacation golf at its best

We come out to this facility every time we're in town, and have never been disappointed. We are always greeted as if we play there every day. The course is in beautiful shape- we played The Sun course. The greens were fast but held the ball. There were only 2 of us and a foursome in front of us. Several times throughout the round, the marshals came around to check and make sure the pace of play was adequate for us, and even offered to move us through if needed.

There were plenty of water stations, but we also had cart services throughout our time.

The practice areas were fully stocked with ample hitting areas.

Overall, between the great courses and friendly staff, we will continue to play this course whenever we're in town.

Amazing value on a re-round

Played the Sun course after playing Wolf course on a re-round. Rate was amazing for such a fun course. Not as tough as Wolf, conditions were just as nice, and the layout was similar. Wind never stopped, but didn't dampen the experience. Fun, fun coarse, great shape, great value.

Beautiful course

Great course with some very fun holes. Fairways where like hitting off carpet. Very fun for a midrange- high handicapper due to the course being open as long as you stay in grass you won't get a bad lie.

Coldest day of the Year and still worth it

This course is like playing on carpet. The fairways are awesome and the green are fast and challenging. I played Wolf last year and the Sun course is just as good. Cant wait to play Snow next. I love the complex. Views are amazing too .

Beautiful course

This might be the most beautiful course I've ever played. In the middle of the desert. Mountains in every direction. Amazing. The course conditions were perfect. Plush fairways. Perfect greens. All for under $50. WOW!!! Time it right and you can play one of the best courses on the planet for relatively cheap.

Great course

Great overall course. I probably wouldn't play this course in the near future because there are so many other Vegas area courses that I want to try, but it was definitely one of the nicer courses I have played. You wont be disappointed by this place but you also wont be blown away. It's a nice course but didn't really give me a WOW factor on any hole.

Great

Paiute has 3 courses, this was my first time playing the Sun course. It was great and very challenging, pretty narrow fairways and great par 3's. I can't wait to go back soon and play their Snow course. Paiute never disappoints. Recently I played the Wolf course with my dad and it was phenomenal. I love what this resort has to offer.

Great Course

Really beautiful course in perfect condition (for mid-Dec). Staff from check-in, bag drop-off and starter were great and didn't care we were Golf Now customers. Marshall came around a couple of times, talked and joked with us. Pace of play good at under 3.5 hours. Course playable for all skill levels.
