Par 72
Length 7112 yards
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 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.

It’s worth the drive.

I played the wolf course and it was a really neat layout. Two local guys that help me manage the course being my first time playing there. I will definitely go back and hope to play the other two courses. Staff was amazing. The only negative thing I have to say is I got to play it with a 30 mph wind which was challenging.

Wow Factor

All around wow factor. The course is a true golfer course. Lots of locals said they prefer the sun course and I could see why. Pete dye, fun layout. Some of the holes look pretty similar. Every hole is a masterpiece. Friendly staff. Played on a Thursday so wasn’t over booked or busy. Played fast! Rangers must do a good job. Must stop for a Vegas golf trip.

Great golf / poor hospitality

After finishing our round of golf, employee criticized and scolded our group for using the wrong ramp to leave. There were no signs posted. No friendly customer service. Very uncalled for.
